Current free email options not requiring phone verification?

Preferably not requiring alternative email verification, either.

I had thought that Mail.com fit the bill, but I see they're requiring verification - maybe they did previously and my memory is wrong?

Anyway, even the email alternative is irritating, because most often the original previous email is long gone.

https://tls-mail.com/ have you tried it?

I haven't even heard of it, thanks. But, hey, when I went to look right now, they obviously require another email to open the account!

I think Proton doesn't require anything, but I feel guilty over-using them.

Why do you recommend TLS? It doesn't show you much, nor tell you much.

because it's run by me. I know email tech stack, and have enough fund to keep it run for free.

I worked on setting up an account with mail .com. Spent good bit of time. Last thing to complete was user name. Spent a while on that but could not find a user name that i felt was usable so i gave up.

So far, the only free no-verification "known" email providers I can come up with are Protonmail and Tutanota.

SafeSwiss won't ask you the mobile for verification.

PM just fine.

Just the other day, I made a new free Outlook.com account, and nothing else was required—no phone number, no secondary email address. They don't even use ReCAPTCHA, because Microsoft tries to avoid outsourcing things to Google. They have their own home-baked CAPTCHA instead.

try sending several emails, they will require you to input mobile.

What do you mean with over-using them? Can you create more than 1 free account? I didn't know that was allowed?
