Is there any agreement on the best no-requirement email?

[webecedarian]

I unfortunately need the equivalent of a throwaway email to create a new Outlook account. Last time I used Protonmail, but I feel guilty taking advantage of them again.

Looking for something that's:
Free
Not requiring a phone or previous address.
Not requiring on-going activity, but can go months without logging in

I was going to try Skiff, but I gather that's no longer an option.

Tuta (Proton alternative)
OpenMbox (by Henry here)
FreeNet (Germany ISP, they don't require mob verification IMO)

Why really you do not want to try or use Proton again?

Only two I guess:
Proton
OnMail.


I am only guessing with "OnMail". I never tried it but as I recall , no need to give mobile number and no need to give alternate email.

I use spamgourmet for "throwaway" addresses.
One can use it without ever logging in after registration and still having some control. because some things can be controlled by the address itself (number of incoming emails that would be received).
I do login sometimes to gain more control (like reset the limit or designate a sender that can bypass the limit, that is what I would do if I used it to create an outlook account: designate outlook.com domain as (almost) exclusive sender).
But really most of the time if I expect that I would need to receive some email from the service in the future I use a subdomain in my own domain, or a subdomain address of a Fastmail alias, so I can receive the email were I receive all other mail and can reliably filter the received mail.

So interesting to find written on one of their pages, 64 MB is the file attachment size limit.

Still a verification email address is required, which "can be removed later."

The problem is that it can't be a throwaway address, because Hotmail infuriatingly keeps popping up every few months to demand whether it's still viable.

It gives you the option of email or mobile number, acceptable to me.
