What is NetMails.NET

NetMails.NET is an email system that provides many advanced features to protect you from spam. We provide disposable email addresses that can be deleted, archived, or even restored later. By using "disposable email addresses", your mailbox will always be protected when you use your email address for online purchases, web sign-up pages etc where your email could potentially be sold to spammer-s. NetMails.NET also provides static (non-expiring) identities for your personal use as well.

For a complete feature list, see the Features page

How does it work?

User creates an account 'joe' for himself. That account will have an address . Additionally he can create any number of 'aliases' (or alternate "identities", as we call it) for the email ''. Alias names need not have any connection with your original email address. For example, if joe creates an alias '', any email sent to will go to joe's Inbox. However, anyone who is using will never know it is indeed ''.

So what is the big deal?

Isn't this same as creating multiple accounts in Yahoo/Hotmail?. Well, it is - to an extent. Except for that fact that you wouldn't get all your emails in one Inbox (unless you forward the mails from one account to another). Moreover, NetMails.NET make its possible with the minimum effort (two clicks + effort to optionally type a name). That's just the tip of the iceberg. With NetMails.NET, you can record and recall where the alias was used. For example, consider you bought a pack of cheap CDRs from i-steal-emails.com, and they sold your email address to we-spam.com. we-spam.com starts sending you spams. When you open the email, out system will remind you that this email was originally given to i-steal-emails.com. Although, thanks to the broken Federal Spam Laws, you cannot sue i-steal-emails.com yet, you can stop doing business with them and delete the alias you have given them making the email address useless for them in future. Even if you don't take the effort to record the name "i-steal- emails.com" in our system, we will try to track peers as much as possible. For example, if you do not specify who the "alias" is for, we will automatically fill it with the first person/company to send you email at that address. In most cases, we would be right. Moreover, using our web interface you can quickly find out the list of people/companies who have ever contacted you using a particular identity.

Sure, but I don't want to give up my existing email address!

NetMails.NET gives you "email forwarding" the way you want. The service can optionally forward all incoming mails to an external email address elsewhere and even hide that email address on replies (replies will automatically be relayed back via your NetMails.NET identity. Now all of these are customizable for each of your identities. If you want a simple forwarding without relaying, we have that too.

Example

joe@joes-company.com sets up two identities home-improvement@web.netmails.net to order items from Home Depot and garden-work@mail.netmails.net to order some plants from 1800flowers.com. Any email received at garden-work@mail.netmails.net or home-improvement@web.netmails.net will automatically be forwarded to joe@joes-company.com. Now when you reply to either of these emails, the reply will go back as if it is from garden-work@mail.netmails.net or home-improvement@web.netmails.net depending on where the message was received originally. You don't have to take the trouble to remember which identity is for what. We take care of all those details for you!

What if I don't want to mix NetMails.NET mails with my existing email?

You don't have to. You may keep all your emails at NetMails.NET and read it either via out web interface or even download it directly into your PC (Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird etc). Your existing email address or it's space isn't used at all.
