need help: no verification email service
Which email service does not require a phone number or alternative email address to create an email account?
This is to send-receive sporadically a limited amount of emails, maybe 4-5 a month. Most often used for throwaway signups. My usual go to was cock from OvO systems, but they closed registrations and move to an invite only basis. Feeling orphaned. |
Tutanota allows in theory, in practise: Registration is temporarily blocked for your IP address to avoid abuse. Please try again later or use a different internet connection.
inbox.lv allows in theory, but can't get past the nagging google captcha. freephonenum in theory is nice for those services requiring phone verification. You may find many/most numbers are alredy associated with phone verification for email. Yandex is the only one I could get to work. Any other suggestions please? Thank you! |
I signed up for a 30 day trial inbox.eu account. Providing a cellphone number or a backup email address was optional. I gave it my Fastmail address. No problem using their webmail. I never ran into a captcha.
However, it turns out the trial version disables POP/IMAP/SMTP access unless you either upgrade or provide a cellphone number. Since its only $3/year for a 100GB mailbox I upgraded to a paid version, enabled POP/IMAP/SMTP in the webmail settings and was able to add a IMAP account to Thunderbird. It forces you to use a app password (which it creates for you) instead of your normal password, with a email client. |
If I recall, posteo.de allows it. The price is more than reasonable, and it's an excellent service. But if you are looking for free, I don't know.

You can remove the phone number and backup email address from a Gmail account once you are signed up.

I wonder what's the rationale in having an entirely separate email account just for using 4-5 times a month. It seems that using a separate email address within an existing email account would be much more convenient (without the hassle of having to login to a separate account just for these few emails).
I use spamgourmet.com for throwaway addresses, but it requires an email address for signup (it's a forwarding service. Doesn't work without a separate address). |
ISPs typically provide a free email account for customers. They might not support plus-addressing in their webmail but their smtp server might support it. In that case you could create throwaway addresses on the fly if you use a email client like Thunderbird. Some smartphone email apps like K-9 don't support doing that on the fly but do support creating additional identities and selecting one of them as the senders address when composing a message.
i.e. if your address is somebody@isp.com and you want to create a throwaway address for communicating with costco you could use costco+somebody@isp.com as your From: address. Any email sent to that address goes to your normal inbox but if you start getting spam from them you can create a filter to block that specific address (or white list just the email addresses you want to work). |
