33mail: Free Personal Temporary Email Service

Disposable email addresses is one good way to fight spam. A typical disposable or temporary email service allows you to generate random email ids that remain active usually for a few minutes to a few hours. The idea is to set up temporary email addresses for one-time-use requirements, such as signing up on some website, or for contacts you do not plan to correspond to in future. After the email address expires, any mail send to that address is lost. This way, no one can compromise the address or abuse it.

Traditional disposable email address services give no long term ownership and control over a disposable address - they expire after which they become available for anyone to use. 33Mail is a new disposable email service that seeks to solve this problem by allowing users to have their own personal disposable email address service.

When you sign up for 33mail you get an email address of the form @username.33mail.com, instead of [email protected] like regular email addresses do. You are free to create and add any prefix before @username.33mail.com and use it as temporary email ids. Here you retain control and ownership over @username.33mail.com – it’s yours.

Another thing is that all emails sent to [email protected] are forwarded to your actual email address, which may be Gmail or Hotmail or your company email. So you don’t have to login or visit your 33mail inbox to read them. When you are done with an email address and want to block it, simply click the unsubscribe link that they send out with every email from 33mail.

You can also manage your aliases from your 33mail dashboard.

Free 33mail users are allowed 10 MB of bandwidth per month. That doesn't sound much but emails cost very little in terms of bytes sent and according to 33mail, this should allow you to receive about 500 mails each month. Premium accounts, which cost $12 per year, comes with five times the bandwidth. Additionally, premium users can add their own domains and create aliases from it.

33mail also gives users (of selected countries) an easy way to convert their free accounts to premium – just refer 5 friends and get 1 year premium subscription at no cost.

  2. There is no "add alias" button. You create alias on the fly. Once you receive email on a particular alias, that alias becomes available in the dashboard.

  4. 10mb for free is pretty bad but 50mb for premium is way too little. Good idea sounds similar to Spamex, kasmail (dead)& Emailias (dead). Wish to see more similar services.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
