It's exception, not rule. Even if they want you to give name, it's not something available for others if they only have e-mail address (unless address contains name).
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoYou've got to pay, normally; and usually the options are PayPal (or similar) or bank payment card (eg Visa/Maestro). In the UK I don't think it's possible to get a credit/debit card without giving up name & address that are backed by ID. Gmail, IIRC, requires a phone number, which again is tied to your payment account (if you buy it in the UK). Though you could buy a stolen pre-paid SIM, so it's possible if you're not bothered about being legal. In USA I understand you have pre-pay credit cards you can buy in a shop, in the UK you have to register those (using a phone number IIRC, thus tying it to a supposed real identity) and they're really expensive.
- pm7 7y agoThere is huge amount of free mail service, unless you are talking about your own domain. Even with custom domain, there are some mail providers that accept Bitcoin. See here: https://www.privacytools.io/providers/email/ https://www.privacytools.io/providers/email/ And, once more: my previous point was that even if providers know your id, it is not public. There is no service you can use to ask what is name of e-mail address owner (I'm ignoring "whois", which is domain-specific, not mail).
