The usual problem applies...
If they're doing all this for free, how are they getting any income? I had a quick read of their Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service. There's clearly going to be a paid-for Premium service at some point, though without joining I couldn't - in my very brief look - see if that already exists. I googled for ManyMe.com, and mainly found multiple places reporting their existence, which - to a casual glance - just looked like everyone reporting a standard press release. I also googled for info on the parent company - Raven Fly, Inc - and found very little. |

Just for kicks I signed up to ManyMe and have tried it out with a few forums and non-important sites. Everything works as they state, with extremely fast delivery. So far nothing has gone into Spam when forwarded to a Gmail account. The little dashboard you get when you join shows your recent messages and has various options that allow you to deactivate addresses, quarantine messages, and LockDown an address so that only messages from a certain domain can send to that address. They have an extensive collection of How To information that is very well written and clear, along with lots of good advice on best practices, security, privacy, etc. Whoever writes their documentation is doing a really good job. Other email service providers should take note. Here's a link to a press release announcing their service back in May 2018: https://www.businesswire.com/news/ho...ivacy-Security

I found out manyme from here and so far I'm very satisfied with the results.
One thing of concern is that what if the malicious spammers got to know how manyme works and start spamming you with your username.randomstring@manyme.com? At the moment there isn't an option to whitelist only desired "labels" so all other .randomstring won't be blocked, should that attack/spams come by. |
