Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

OtherInbox is an innovative solution to solving problems with signing up for online services. Rather than giving out your actual email address, you will give out your OtherInbox id and use that for managing emails.

This can help you block unwanted marketing offers (a.k.a. spam) without having to change your actual email address.

The service is currently in closed beta and you require an invitation code to signup.

If you signup as “username” with OtherInbox, you can create as many @username.otherinbox.com email accounts.

Basically, just use id’s on the fly; there is no creation process. So, if you are creating an account at eBay, just use something like ebay@username.otherinbox.com. Cool! Isn’t it?

If you land up getting far too many spam emails, you can just block that mail id. At no place have you given your actual email address.
