2/23 Is there a web based free email compatible with lynx?
\_ kinda curious why you'd want this... if you have access
to a command line, can't you use a command-line mail
program or log into a box that has one?
\_ it's useful to have throw-away mailboxes.
\_ http://spamgourmet.com
\_ throw away mailboxes don't have to be web-based...
that said, I use an extra netzero account for throw
away mail... it has POP3 mail. Perhaps there's a
reason they want web-based?
\_ why not use sneakemail for throw-away mailboxes?
\_ It's nice to have an email acct. that is 1) fully functional
with SSL login, 2) completely disposable and anonymous,
3) can be accessed anywhere, whether from a comand line host or
public library shared web machines.
\_ sure, that's nice. it's also not profitable, which is why
you don't see that kind of thing. free email services
need to serve ads, which are predominantly graphical.
\_ find a non-free service that satisfies 1 and 3, and then you
use sneakemail to satisify 2. |

| spamgourmet.com How spamgourmet works If you give your email address to everyone, you are bound to receive spam emails, and you won't know where they came from. Wouldn't it be convenient to give a different email address to every business or web site, while getting all your email as before? Wouldn't it be easiest to assume the address will be given to spammers, and have it shut off automatically unless you decide otherwise? There is nothing to install on your computer, and once you're set up, it's likely you won't ever have to come back here. This is what makes spamgourmet one of the most convenient and effective ways to avoid spam. Arm yourself against spammers in three easy steps: 1 If you haven't done it yet, create a spamgourmet account. You will be asked to identify the word in a picture and pick a password. If you want more options, choose the "advanced mode" tab above. |
