I would love to click a button in the app to create a random email address that I could later delete. The intent here is to avoid giving my email address to anyone I don't personally trust to not sell it to spammers. As a practical matter, I think this feature would have to include a way to tag these disposable addresses to remember why they were created.
This actually solves two problems for me, personally. The first is that it gives me the option to permanently shutdown spammers. The second, via tagging, is it tells me who is selling my information so I can act accordingly.
There are email forwarding services that provide this functionality, but, ironically, their terms of service had this: "... which means not sharing with anyone that might abuse it [your email]." So they sell your info but only to non-abusive spammers?
I love what proton mail is doing and will support them by upgrading but I need some more control to transition to it. Secure email from spammers isnt quite enough.
