Do you know mailnesia?
accidentally discovered that @mailnesia is very convenient, no need to verify anything. Just remember your username, but do not know if it lasts long.

Interesting, very close to a Italian food name Milanese so don't get the two muddled.

Reminds me more of Micronesia (the island nation) than Italian food. I like the domain.
However, how do you not need to verify anything and only have to remember your username? What about password to log in? Also, how long has this provider been around? Are they backed by any financially manageable person or organisation? I hope this won't be the next short lived service, and that they'll prove that surviving is still possible when your name is not Microsoft, Yahoo, Google etc |

Mailnesia sounds like a disease I don't want to have. Think they need a better name.

All in all this looks like a site functionally similar to mailinator.com (" for when you don't want to get spammed at your real email address"), which also is read-only & offers no privacy.
But mailinator has been around for donkey's years.... |

If you want an email address to sign up to forums, social media etc for, better create a separate email account or even an email address existing for just 24 hours or so; guerillamail.com does a good job in that (and even allows for sending mails or responding to mails, if I remember well). An email address everyone can access doesn't make any sense. Even if you use it purely for signing up to sites, do you want other people to just be able to access your Twitter/MeetUp.com/Tinder/BigSoccer.com/LinkedIn/DeviantArt/whatever account simply by clicking "forgot password" and then go to your Mailnesia account?!
I wouldn't touch this service with a long stick, since the very idea of a service not even trying to be private contradicts with the very point of using email. |
