Yahoo used to let you create a throwaway email address that you can use when subscribing to mail lists. I can't find the location anymore. Have they removed the feature? Is there any announcement online?

GMail doesn't do this either do they?

Geez. It's crazy when you can't rely on basic services be they paid or unpaid. I used to pay mailblocks for email until they stopped actually doing anything...even after being bought up by AOL. I switched to fastmail... but I can't find any throwaway email features by them... I have to leave registerfly because they turned into crooks. I don't want to move them to bulkregister because they were just bought by eNom. It's just crazy. At least knock on wood after switching ISPs I finally found a bit of stability there for the last year or two.

I couldn't find it in the new mail client, but the clasic mail still has the link "options"

I'm still using classic. "Options" button exists but I don't see any throwaway emails creator there like it used to be.
