Get a Free Email Account for Some Email Anonymity

You may feel that email providers (ESPs) have no right to your personal information, that you feel it's your right to send emails anonymously, and/or that anonymity protects your right to free speech. It all has to do with privacy. If so, here are some ideas regarding free email accounts, how to send a truly anonymous email, and free email accounts that provide anonymity.

Please note that while you may consider sending anonymously to be your right as an individual if your message is a prank, a fake or if the message is obscene or threatening, it may be considered fraud and thus run afoul of the law. If your message is commercial, this is then spam and there are a bevy of federal laws, such as the CANN-SPAM Act, that precludes this

If you want to send an email in a truly anonymous manner, you have to send it through a chain of remailers that remove all traces that can lead to you. This works reliably and is very secure, but it also is a tedious process.

Here's a list of free email accounts:
