You have your personal email address, but for once you want to protect your identity and send an email anonymously? Perhaps to disseminate information to the press or activist organizations, or to sign online petitions. There are therefore many reasons to want to remain anonymous and not disclose one's real email address. After all, anonymity and privacy are rights.
The easiest way is to find a free email service like Gmail, create a new account, and voilà, no one will be the wiser. My name isn't on it, so I'm safe.
That's incorrect. You should know that it's not just your name, but also your PC's IP address in the message headers, which is used to identify you.
Here are some anonymous email services that allow you to send and receive emails anonymously. With some, you'll benefit from email encryption.
Anonymous Email – TorGuard.
TorGuard TorGuard offers an anonymous and encrypted email account with numerous security options. It allows you to send anonymous emails to your recipient. Paid versions are available, but the free version provides 10 MB of storage. With OpenPGP encryption, you can encrypt any message before sending it. TorGuard is very easy to use and is compatible with all web browsers.
Tor mail
Tor Mail is completely free for sending anonymous emails for any purpose. Tor Mail operates on the Tor network, which uses multiple hidden servers, making it completely untraceable. It works by transmitting information through a multitude of computers before reaching the intended recipient. This service is designed to offer maximum anonymity, making it one of the best ways to ensure you are not tracked.
AnonymousEmail.us
AnonymousEmail.us This allows you to send anonymous emails without any registration. Simply fill out the form, which includes the recipient's address, the subject, and the email content. There is also an option to attach a file to the email. If you would like a reply from the recipient, you can specify a reply-to address.
CyberAtlantis
CyberAtlantis It's very simple and easy to use. You just need to enter the recipient's email address, the subject of your message, and the body. It will remove your IP address when sending your email, making you even harder to trace.
GuerrilaMail
GuerrillaMail It has a unique feature that it provides to the user. It has a self-destructing and temporary disposable email address so you can send anonymous emails to anyone on the internet. The email address is automatically deleted after one hour. As soon as you log in to the site, a random email address is created, and you can use it to send and receive emails anonymously.
Finally, I recommend combining these services with other anonymity-enhancing tools such as Tor, an HTTPS proxy, or a VPN. Without these, your identity could be revealed simply by your IP address.
