anyone who needs that, needs a burner account. Those are lots less permanent and when your account is taken by someone else since you have no way to recover that account it's understood whatever you had in it was encrypted and is disposible. Google provides a higher level of management than you need for this kind of account. The aol "service" it turns out had these kind of accounts which once a screen name was taken over you lost the account that went with it. Search for public internet sites and check out what mail services those have to offer and I think you'll be happy.
