Hotmail Announces Disposable E-mail Addresses


Everybody needs disposable email addresses. Maybe you want one that sounds solid and businesslike, and other, more anonymous ones, for political or medical forums.

When you're on the hunt, you may need to register at sites that require it even if you know you'll never need them again when you find what you're looking for. If they then use that email to pester you, cluttering your real inbox with unwanted messages, you may wish you could be somebody else. In a small way, you can.


At The Windows Blog, Microsoft, owner of free Webmail site Hotmail, announces, Hotmail delivers aliases to help you manage and secure your email account
Starting today, you can create and manage multiple email aliases from a single Hotmail account. Together with features that we introduced in November that let you use Hotmail with any existing email address, the new aliasing feature makes it easy to use a different email address and still get all the benefits of Hotmail without having to change your primary email address and online identity.
Log into your existing hotmail account and create an alias here. You can choose to make your alias a separate folder or make its mail part of your inbox. You may split your onlife life into five new alt-personas each year, up to 15 total. When too many sites use one, and you want it all to stop, you can delete or replace it with a new one.

Start thinking up your new name(s).
