I'm trying to find anonymous emails for receiving/sending email that will work with Thunderbird mainly to stop spam from spammers and marketers and to protect from a malicious email. (I use Gmail right now and I'm getting all kind of spam, that I dont want).
This is a fruitless quest. If you have an email address, you will get spam. Nothing you can do on your end can prevent someone from sending an email to an email address. You would get better results by using and training Thunderbird's spam filtering capabilities.
I haven't gotten a single piece of spam that I don't know the origin from for quite awhile using a google email.
There's probably a lot of unwanted emails being sent to me - but they're all being sent to non-existant emails
Have you considered filtering your mail through Spamgourmet?
The service offered by Spamgourmet gives you an unlimited number of (anonymous) e-mail aliases that are automatically filtered and forwarded to the e-mail account of your choice.
I decided what to do same question but rethought: two anonymous emails that will work with thunderbird one for sending emails and one for receiving emails?
