Can you suggest a email provider.
It's getting harder, as there are only a few remaining free email provider. And if you don't login, some delete the account after 6 months, or some don't have proper spam protection in case I want to open the inbox and find a registration confirmation mail.

- scrollaway 9y agohttps://10minutemail.com https://10minutemail.com But whenever I have reason to believe I'm being signed up for spam on an email that will not be verified (which is the case for most "free wifi" login prompts), I usually try to find a real email of someone involved, such as sales@terrible-wifi-gateway.com
- warent 9y agoThat is hilarious. Will try myself. You're starting a movement
- peterlk 9y agoA lot of sites will block it, but yopmail does the trick for me. It's a public email repository (anyone can see any email sent to any address), so it's a good place for burner emails
- kjax 9y agoguerrillamail and mailhero have worked for me.
- danieldk 9y agoBesides burner e-mail services, Fastmail allows you to create addresses on the fly with subdomain addressing. E.g. if you are using me@mydomain.tld, and have subdomain addressing enabled, you can use me@foobar.mydomain.tld where foobar is a random subdomain. I like it for a couple of reasons: - You can easily set up rules on subdomains to send e-mails to separate folders or to discard them. - You can find out who is selling your e-mail addresses. - It is less trivial for spammers to abuse than plus addressing.
- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoYeah, Fastmail isn't free, but you get what you pay for:)
- yladiz 9y agoI do something similar with Fastmail, except instead of subdomain, I use the prefix, e.g. reddit@example.com, hn@example.com. I have a generic one (hi@example.com) for certain use cases but in general I use the specific ones so I know who may have sold/"lost" my email address. It's a lot better than Gmail style plus addressing since some input websites disallow plus emails or have terrible email systems that can't properly recognize it. The only thing I wish that would go further would be to be able to flag a certain email address to be set to "not exist", so that if someone emails it, it gets bounced back as undeliverable. I set up something similar on my own server a while back using Postfix and Postgres to deal with holding the emails/undeliverable emails but it ended up being a hassle to keep up with and I am glad to pay for Fastmail to not deal with anything but getting my emails. Additionally, one downside to the burner email services is that some companies have tracked down the popular ones and mark email addresses from those domains as invalid, meaning they really want something that isn't a burner email.

- frik 9y agoAll these disposable temporary email providers don't support IMAP and are temporary. I need aa hassle free solution (also on smartphone - IMAP). Can someone suggest more free traditional email providers (beside GMail, Outlook.com, Yahoo) that are free forever, require no phone number to register, support IMAP.
