  • sending and receiving emails anonymously

Hi Guys,

I've got 2 hints for you today.

One is on how to receive emails anonymously and one is on how to send anonymous emails.
The reason why I separated it into 2 hints is that one is an iPhone app and the other is a website.

Sure Now you're asking yourself, what is it good for to receive emails anonymously?

For example: you want to register on website xyz but you do not trust them as they might sell your peronal information to other companies or use them for illegal purposes which would end up with you in jail.

to prevent this, you can use http://www.trash-mail.com/

This is a German website but don't worry, you can use google translator to translate the website although that won't be necessary as I'm gonna tell you how to use it.

Step1: Go to the website you want to register on.
Step2: Click the register button (self-explanatory -.-)
Step3: Enter False personal information

a good example would look like this

First Name: xxxxxxxxx
Second Name:yyyyyyyyy
Last Name:zzzzzzzzz

or

First Name:leriugfzejrfu
Second Name:uifrwhfdh
Last Name:asdfghjklzhb

just Remeber: do not use any real names except your own which I do not recommend as that wouldn't be anonymous.

Step4: Enter an email Address that looks like this: anything@trash-mail.com
Step5: Go to http://www.trash-mail.com/ and enter the same email address as you entered on the registration page. @trash-mail.com is already written so just write anything instead of anything@trash-mail.com

Step6: click on the activation email you have received to open it and just click the activation link.
Step7:thats's it.

but be careful:emails will be deleted from their server after exactly 6hours.

also: there is absolutely no privacy. If an email is sent to their server, anybody who knows the email address or randomly had the same idea for an email address can see your emails that are saved on their server.

the only way to prevent your received emails from being read by other people is to delete the email after you do not need it anymore and or to think about such an abstract email address name that nobody could have the same idea.

there is no password security for your emails nor is there any registration on the trash-mail website.

this service can only be used to receive emails not to send any.

The other one is only to send emails it is called anonymous and is an iPhone app that can be obtained only by downloading it from cydia.

using it is very self-explanatory as the guy who made it wrote tutorial himself which can be found inside the app itself.

I am not responsible what you guys use this for, if you do illegal things with this method it is your problem not mine.
Isn't it more simple to create a secondary gmail account with fake info to use whenever you want to register on websites?
The beauty of gmail is that you can also let your primary gmail account access it so that you receive everything in one inbox, and create a filter for it to automatically assign a label to mails received from the secondary email,makes it easy to ignore them or mass delete them.

And same thing for sending anonymous emails, fake gmail account too, and if you add it to your primary one, you can send email from both addresses from you main account's mailbox.
@Battikh

this would be another method yes, perhaps even easier, but you can only use the gmail account once per website.
also this method prevents spam for example if you have everything in one inbox you'll get a lot of crap from websites you cannot trust.

besides this is faster than it looks.
