Privacytools.io: ✨ Feature Suggestion | Disposable Email and Email Forwarding Categories

Created on 22 Jan 2019  Â·  11Comments  Â·  Source: privacytools/privacytools.io

Description:

I think it may be a good idea to add two new email categories.
Disposable Email and Email Forwarding, both of which help when you need to give out an email but dont want to use your personal one.
Forinstance, when creating an account or accessing content like downloads.

For email forwarding, I hasn't seen any for years. Do you have any example?

Yes there's lots out there, as there's so many it may be worth finding the ones that are least blacklisted.

I haven't used them for a while but, there are also lots out there, i will post examples when i find the ones i use to use.

Actually I can recommend Guerrilla Mail https://github.com/flashmob/go-guerrilla, I had few issues with 10email in the past and with a few other in the gist list that was not accepted anywhere so pretty useless. To my knowledge the android app from guerrilla mail don't use GSF and don't have Ads.

About "Email Forwarding" I not sure if is the same thing I have in mind right now... But years ago I used and was not really useful. Because It forwarded a lot of spam... It supposed to have filters and only forward good emails but not always works.

I remember bigfoot... from many years ago.

There is 33mail.com although, i have used much better like forward-email but it requires setup.

@John3
Filters is one good use but, you can also use it at a type of disposable email.
Because, it gets blacklisted less often than standard disposable emails.
Also, it can be easier because it allows you to receive all emails in one place instead of using multiple websites and logins.

forwarding providers:
spamgourmet.com
trashmail.net

spamgourmet is shutting down because of the sickness of the maintainer.
In any case we aim to redo the E-mail section after the overhaul of the browser page is complete, so we will keep this idea in the back of our heads when we start.
