What it does
StartMail combines an email mailbox with aliases that can be disabled individually. It supports browser access and configuration in third-party mail clients.
Aliases are central to StartMail's everyday workflow. Give a newsletter or shop its own address, then disable that alias to stop delivery and return a bounce. The mailbox can also use standard clients such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail.
For a recipient who does not use encryption, the homepage describes reading and replying to a protected message with a password set by the sender. Coordinate that password separately from the message. The site offers a seven-day trial followed by paid service and now announces iOS and Android apps alongside its web and IMAP access.
Strengths
- Disposable aliases can be disabled without replacing the main address.
- Third-party clients are supported.
Best for
