30 disposable email address providers

Friday, March 31st, 2006

anonymous_emailVeronica, a Listable user, has put together a comprehensive list of 30 services that provide disposable email adddresses.

I don’t feel the need for something like this myself, but many people find disposable addresses a useful way to combat spam or to provide a means of contact for people or companies on those occasions when using your permanent email address seems like a bad idea.

You will find well-known services like Spamgourmet and PookMail on the list.

Less well-known are services like Sofort Mail , a German provider that offers anonymous emails addresses without the need for registration.

If you are into this sort of thing, this is a list to bookmark.

Setting a default email address in Address Book

Saturday, December 24th, 2005

addressbookIn a follow-up to his excellent “Making Mac Mail Work for You” article on LowEndMac, Ed Eubanks publishes some feedback from the original article.

One of the user comments contained a tip that was news to me: how to set a default email address for an Address Book contact.

The answer is tucked away in a submenu. In Address Book select “Edit Distribution List…” from the Edit menu.

You will be presented with a screen like this:

distributionlist

Selecting an email address from the list next to each contact turns it bold. That address becomes the default one for Mail.app, but only when the contact is selected as part of an Address Book Group.
