Which address

What email to use for signing up

Choose by whether you will come back. A one-time visit uses a disposable address. A site you will sign in to again uses a lasting alias. Banks and government sites get your real inbox.

Real inbox

The other side needs to reach you later, and often uses the message to confirm who you are.

  • Banks, clinics, government, and work accounts
  • Do not put these on an address that expires in a few hours
  • Leave old accounts where they are. Start splitting at the next new site

Lasting alias

The site only sees the alias. Mail is forwarded to the inbox you used to sign in.

  • Shops, forums, newsletters, and memberships each get a prefix
  • If one starts sending junk, pause only that one
  • Up to 100. Pause drops new mail. Delete stops receiving

Disposable inbox

The home page can receive immediately. The default is about 3 hours. You can extend it or replace it.

  • A code, a quick look, then you leave
  • Mail stays on this page. The credential in this browser lets you return
  • You cannot send from here, and this page does not offer attachment downloads

Three ordinary signups

01

A shop that will send orders

Refunds and shipping will follow. Use a lasting alias, not an address that dies in a few hours.

02

A look and you leave

A trial, a one-time code, a page you will not sign in to again. Use the disposable inbox on the home page.

03

The account already uses your real inbox

Do not rebind an old account just to switch to an alias. Split the next new site.
