Hi dmitrygr, the idea is not new, but the link you gave is for disposable email addresses, which are public. That's a different use-case from nBox, where the addresses are private.

use a uuid - it is as private as imaginable - you'll never guess mine

Yes, that gives you some privacy of course, but I still think it's a different use-case: with disposable email services, you're usually not notified when you receive an email, and checking all the addresses must be a pain. I'd use them for services I really don't care about and nBox for wanted and semi-wanted emails.
