Anonymous.to, by its domain name, misleads you into thinking that your e-mails will be anonymous. Nope, they aren't anymore anonymous than Hotmail or Yahoo (which are not considered anonymous webmail services). Why? Because they include the X-Originating-IP header in all their outbound e-mails. This header contains the IP address of the originator that wrote the e-mail -- and that is YOU! It is the IP address of your computer, router, or whatever is your external IP address. If you have dial-up connections, your IP address changes on every connection to your ISP (but it is still within the range allocated for use by your ISP). If you have a broadband connection (i.e., cable or DSL), your IP address rarely changes. All e-mails sent from anonymous.to have your IP address in their headers so you can easily be traced. They simply repackage the same service provided by BigMailBox.com/.net, and they aren't anonymous, either.
Oh, anonymous.to seems to have a lot of problems with their site. I constantly would try to Compose, change Options, and perform other actions but end up at a "We're sorry ... can't do that" or some other error page. It happens way too frequently. It occurs less frequently at their provider's webmail site (www.bigmailbox.com) but it still occurs. Cancelling your accounts seems to be the worst since I kept getting to their "Sorry" page and it wouldn't cancel my account.
Sending e-mails from them was the slowest. My ISP's SMTP server was fastest (as expected) in getting the e-mail actually to the target SMTP server. Yahoo was next fastest for a webmail provider, followed by Hotmail. Anonymous.to was very slow. Sometimes the e-mail didn't get delivered (i.e., their SMTP server connected to the target's SMTP server) for a few minutes (while all others were under a minute) or sometimes for up to an hour. It looks like they batch up the outbound e-mails rather than send them immediately. It behooves you to read their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. That's because you won't have any when you use their service. They openly declare in their policies that they will sell your personally identifiable information to 3rd parties (i.e., spammers). If you open an account with them, I recommend first opening an account with SneakEmail.com (to provide an alias to your real e-mail address in which all headers gets stripped to hide you) or a Bigfoot.com account (although their TOS also says using their freebie service opens you up to be spammed, and has a limit of only 25 e-mails per day). Then you can either close that alias e-mail account after opening an anonymous.to account (or other BigMailBox.com account) or kill it should you start getting spammed through it.
Since opening an account with them makes your agree to have your personal info divulged to "3rd parties", and since it is NOT really an anonymous webmail provider because you are identified in the headers by your IP address just like with Hotmail and Yahoo, why bother using such a simplistic equivalent service. Yahoo has more features, much better user-definable filters, includes some spam filtering, and your write in HTML mode and can use bolding, italics, and other styles and colors in your e-mail rather than just plain boring text-only messages.
Advantages: easy and quick to sign up to, neat, easy to attach and add addresses Disadvantages: basic, need alternative e-mail addy
...did a quick search, and anonymous.to was the first site to pop up in my field of vision. Within 2-3 minutes I had signed up and had an account and was thus able to send my e-mail.
Anonymous.to is pretty basic, it is an e-mail site ONLY(no other bells and ribbons I'm afraid) but it serves its purpose well. There is an option for a frams and a non frames site(although the difference I cannot see) and it's all done out in red and black, in a very practical ... ...to fill, unlike another.com's) and you can attach things to your mail in seconds(also another problem I had at another).
It is also extrmelely easy to cancel your account, or modify it, although the modification features are pretty superficial(how many messages due you want displayed per page, text line width, etc. etc) and as far as I can see, you can't change how the site looks(as with another, although I never really went in for that anyway). ...
