Mailhero – a more permanent temporary email

Re:Mailhero – a more permanent temporary email by ricg on Friday May 27, 2016 @03:48AM (#11784516)

Is there a service that lets me send mail from such an email address as well?

Let's say I use this for my Amazon account [email protected] and I need to get in touch with Amazon customer support. For verification they require me to actually send an email from [email protected].

Or another case: as soon as I have to actually send an email to a service I signed up for and use my real email address, that is then known to the service and could potentially be leaked.

I am going to add that functionality soon. You will, of course, have to click the recaptcha for each message send... I hope everybody understands why. :)

You could use gmail to send email from these addresses. Gmail requires you to verify that you own the email ids, which should be possible to do with the way mailhero works.

Sounds like an effective (if slightly underhand) way to monetize. If paying up is the only way to retrieve an account someone cares about...
