Private and anonymous email
11 listings · 3 tested by the Monereo team
Most big email providers want a phone number at signup and read your mail to sell ads. The providers here sign you up without a phone number, encrypt what they store, and many accept crypto for paid plans.
Alias services add another layer: you give every site its own address that forwards to your inbox, so a leak or spam list never reveals your real one.

Private and anonymous email: questions
Can I make an email account without a phone number?
Yes. Every provider here lets you sign up without one, though some may ask for an invite, a small payment or a short wait to keep spammers out.
What is an email alias?
A forwarding address that sends mail on to your real inbox. Use a different alias for each site and turn it off if it starts getting spam.
Is encrypted email anonymous?
Encryption protects what is in your messages. Anonymity depends on what you give at signup and how you pay, so use a private payment method and connect over a VPN or Tor if it matters.
