In this article, you will learn about several services that allow you to use email without the threat of "exposing" your main email address.

The past year has passed under the sauce of the revelations of Comrade Snowden, who slightly opened the curtain on the current state of affairs with Internet privacy. Rather, with its absence.

Although many users lightly dismiss all this with the statement that "we have nothing to hide, let them watch", it is still worth recalling that the right to confidentiality and anonymity is an inalienable right of every person. And it is not at all worthwhile to just give this right into the hands of public or private services. This also applies to e-mails. Therefore, we want to introduce you to several useful services that will help you receive and send private correspondence.

Encrypting and Anonymous Postal Services

Anonymous Email - TorGuard

This service provides you with an anonymous mailbox with privacy and cryptographic functionality. With free use, you get 10 MB for storing letters, as well as services for a secure SSL connection and message encryption using G / PGP technology.

Tor Mail

The Tor network provides a truly anonymous email service. It works as part of the well-known Tor Project, which uses many constantly changing nodes to redirect your requests. To use it, you need to install special software on your computer.

GuerrilaMail

GuerrillaMail offers us a disposable, self-destructing temporary email address to send and receive emails anonymously. Mail is deleted one hour after being used. You only need to choose an email address, and you do not need to enter any personal data.

Sending letters without registration

The services offered below allow you to send messages without any registration. Please note that you will not be able to receive a response to your letter.

5ymail

The service allows you to send e-mail without registering and disclosing your real address. Emails can contain attachments and be formatted using the built-in html editor.

Send Email Message

A very simple service, which is just a form for entering the address of the correspondent, subject and text of the letter. After clicking the Send Message button, the letter is delivered almost instantly. However, please note that Cyrillic is not supported here.

VenomPen

According to the assurances of the creators, this site was created in order to give people who are afraid of the consequences, the opportunity to convey to the addressee their dissatisfaction or complaint. The submission form is very simple and does not require registration, but all letters are moderated for illegal content.

Receiving letters

If you just need to receive an email to confirm your registration and do not want to deal with tons of advertising and mailings later, then you can use these services:

Anonymous Email - Hide My Ass

It offers visitors a free anonymous mailbox that can be used to receive (but not send) email. You can turn on notifications about the arrival of new letters that are sent to your real mailbox, or even set the time for "self-destruction" of this account.

myTrashMail

Here you can create a one-time registration box for services, forums and blogs. The account has a limited lifetime and is deleted after the time you set.

NotSharingMy. Info

NotSharingMy. Info provides you with a permanent anonymous email address to receive emails without providing recipients or senders with any information that identifies you. Registration requires only your real email address. All letters from this anonymous mailer will be redirected to your real mailbox.

Mailinator

Here is another service that allows you to create mail very quickly and completely automatically. The service works only for receiving correspondence.

Spambog

A very functional anonymous email service that does not require registration and your personal data. You can receive and reply to emails, forwarding, attachments, formatting, subscribing to RSS Inbox folders, automatic deletion of what has been read, and much more. Ideal as a special registration box.
