On an untrusted public library computer, you don’t wanna log in to your main account.
Currently, I use a secondary private email account, but I’m wondering if there’s a better way… Maybe with Nostr?
It would also be better if the attachment sent is deleted from the sender after a while. Signal does this perfectly, but I also don’t wanna log into Signal in a public library.
You might find Guerilla Mail helpful. There are no accounts in the traditional sense.
The website gives you a secret key, and with that secret key you own an account. A Guerilla Mail account allows you to compose e-mails and own an inbox.
From what I can tell, you might only care about their composing, but if you’re also interesting in their inboxing, they have a system that they follow, which you can find in their FAQ in /about.
Edit: They delete your inbox from their servers after a while, but I’m not sure how they will deal with items you’ve sent.
