33mail - very cool email masking service

I have a Blur by abine.com account for saving logins. It’s not bad, but what really got me hooked is it’s masked email service. It generates an email address, something like [email protected], that forwards to your real address. If you get spam or emails you don’t want, click a link to disable that address. It works great, problem for me is that you have to let the software or site create the address for you before you can use it. I decided to look around to see if there was a service that did the same thing but that I could make up the address on the spot without needing to generate it. I did, and it is called 33mail.com. There is a free level that gets you 10mb of emails and unlimited addresses. It does put ads in the emails. You can pay $12 a year and get 50mb of emails, unlimited email addresses, no ads, and can use your own domain. So far, I am loving it and plan on keeping the service. I wish all email providers had a service like this. I know I can make “aliases” with Gmail using a “+” after the main address and the make a filter to delete unwanted emails to them but just being able to click a link in an email to disable the address is a lot more convenient in my opinion. So, if you need/want a service like this, I recommend 33mail.com.

Inbox by Gmail

Just got an invitation to Inbox by Gmail and so far it’s very cool. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it because I used Box (by DropBox) and have for a while. This new app has the same type of swipe to archive and snooze but includes a few more neat things. Since it is integrated with Google it makes things faster and cleaner. Take a look at the promo video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayFAQ2OoJaA
