   Hi nkkollaw, we're very careful to limit possible downtime, and there is a system of retry for incoming emails, so we should not lose some. We're currently working on the "account creation" part of nBox.

   Hi StavrosK, yes 33mail (and others) propose almost the same service. Two slight differences though: - email are less guessable with nBox - if 33mail gets hacked, spammers will get your email address

   Ok, I'm glad it works. Thanks for the feedback, we'll try to add that somewhere.

   Hi Sohcahtoa82, selling might not happen that often (fortunately), but data leaks happen very often (see http://breachlevelindex.com/ for example)

   Hi monista, nBox is heavily based on Chrome at the moment, but a Firefox extension is coming and mobile apps may follow.

   Hi ajnin, thanks for your feedback. > Extensions are a privacy concern and consume memory needlessly. Yes, that's why we don't ask for any permission, so the extension only gets activated when you click on the button. > I&#x

   Hi slg, that's a valid concern, here is a copy-paste of an answer I wrote earlier: I tried to answer it there: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/nbox/comments/483328

    Hi deft, that's a concern we have. Some services might block our addresses some day, but that would be a mistake because nBox is not a disposable email service.

    Hi dmitrygr, the idea is not new, but the link you gave is for disposable email addresses, which are public. That's a different use-case from nBox, where the addresses are private.

    No harm taken, the service is not perfect yet and it lacks a lot of functionalities, that we can agree on. It works on android phones with chrome, but like you said I wouldn't remember the generated addresses, so we think the extension

    Hi jv22222, we don't get ramen off of this project. We plan to add paying functionalities some day if they make sense.

    Hi singularity2001, maskme (blur now) is a bit different. If they get hacked, spammers will get your email address and other information.

    Hi bigtunacan, thanks for your feedback. 1) "That's going to be a pain in the ass to remember": the extensions are there so you don't have to. 2) "how do I login?": we're currently developing this side the

    Hi toddmorey, yes a well-known trick ;) The downside is that the + part can be easily removed by spammers.

    Hi water42, don't ever trust anyone with your data, governments and big companies get hacked every day. Our angle: we don't ask for any personal information.

    Hi alkonaut, yes it works the same, but it might end up piling up.

    Hi sashk, mailhero is very similar. One difference I see: email addresses are not guessable with nBox.

    Hi ionelmarcu, yes that was our plan too (I shared before changing the account creation tunnel).

    Hi ikeboy, you're right the idea is not new. We don't plan to offer this possibility for the moment, but who knows, maybe one day.

    Hi iliketosleep, to allow the notifications a small window should appear at the top of the page. But not all browsers have implemented this feature. What device and browser do you use?

    by bdav24 9y ago

    Ho sorry you're right, technically accepting webpushes is not required, but it's part of the tunnel for now. We're currently changing that, but it's not finished yet.

    Hi Marak, you're right, this is an alternative. You'd have to implement the filtering of the addresses you don't want any more though.

    Hi jswny, jacobwg is right, the addresses are private (and anonymous because we don't ask any information). I'd say the use case is to filter "semi-wanted" emails.

    Hi alkonaut, the domain is unique at the moment. Some services might block our addresses some day, but that would be a mistake because nBox is not a disposable email service.

    Hi, I'm David, one of the developers of nBox. nBox generates for you an email address for each site, for free. - Effortlessly thanks to our browser extensions - Addresses are anonymous and private - Delete the addresses you don't
