I just released a new @thunderbird add-on which integrates Addy.io (a.k.a. AnonAddy) directly into the Thunderbird message compose window.
Now when you're writing an email in Thunderbird and you don't want to let the recipients see your real email address, you can easily route the email through Addy to keep it private.
Share and enjoy!

https://vimeo.com/ slightly limits what your account can do until you've verified your account email address. After changing my account email address to an #AnonAddy address, I've requested a verification email three times, and none of them have arrived.
EDIT: The emails never arrived, but I opened a support ticket and their support people marked my address as verified instead of fixing the address verification problem. 🤷

#ChangeOfAddress 🧵

This is what happened when I tried to change my email address for my #PlaystationNetwork (#PSN) account to an #AnonAddy email address. I don't know whether this is specific to AnonAddy addresses or whether the address change workflow is broken in general. 🤷 I've said it before in this thread, but it bears repeating: web sites should not be blocking people from using anonymized email addresses for security and privacy reasons.

Over at #Cisco #OpenDNS (https://opendns.com/), when I enter a new login email address, it says it's sending me an email message to confirm the change, and indeed it does send the email, but clicking the confirmation link doesn't work. I tested this with non-anonymized addresses, not just an #AnonAddy address, so apparently this functionality is simply broken. Way to go, Cisco!

I'm spending Yom Kippur atoning for my privacy sins by continuing to anonymize the email addresses for my accounts by changing them to #AnonAddy addresses.
Let's talk about changing your email address on #NationalGrid's billing portal.
This message incorrectly says to specify a notification email address "If you'd rather receive notifications at an email address that is different." That field is actually required: you can't submit the form without filling it in.
