Fastmail lets you create masked email addresses. They are randomized and can't be linked to your main account. Great way to track who sells your email to spammers. You can create a new masked email for each temporary need and tag it. You can also disable them individually, so you stop receiving mail for that fake sddress.
You can’t reply as them
That isn't true.
Looks like you're right. They may have updated this since I last tried it.
If you use bitwarden as your password manager, it can also auto generate those for you when creating a login
Firefox Relay is meant for this. It can create a new mask in a single click, and it will forward emails to your actual address as long as you have it enabled. I'm not sure if you can send emails, but that's rarely needed.
I'm not sure how (or really, if) they keep their domain (mozmail I think?) from being blocked by websites as a source of spam.
Do you want to return to that account?
If not, Temp mail works fine.
Also, Bug me not has user-submitted usernames + passwords to services. This works nicely.
I've used Port87 in the past. The user who created it promoted the service on lemmy initially. It worked (I paid for a few months).
For anyone on iOS or MacOS, there’s Hide My EMail built into iCloud services. It generates an email address and automatically sets up forwarding to your iCloud account. You can add notes to remind you what it’s for. You can disable an address at anytime in the iCloud settings.
The problem is that you can’t send from Hide My Email, except in a reply.
I use it a lot but if I think that I’ll need to contact by email by the HME address, I use one of my AppleID aliases.
What is your use case for needing to send from one of these addresses?
I had this issue - I was trying to cancel my Guardian online news subscription, and they make it painful. Insist the email must come from the address, they didn’t allow a code validating ownership etc, was a complete pain
That is certainly interesting.
I had to contact a service’s support which was email only
I use simplelogin.io
Looks like Guerilla Mail still exists. Been around for years at this point. No idea if there's any controversy about them, but there are reviews out there giving them high marks.
Addy.io, proton simplelogin, ... give you one time email addresses
Firefox has that feature built in, no?
If you setup Firefox Relay first.
10 minute mail
I use Fastmail.
