#2Great, but they seem not to have plans to create recyclable emails for person-to-person communication, which is sad.

#3Sounds great but I'm nervous to trust personal communications with a company that seems to be so new – what if they fold? I lose all the emails I might be getting sent. Without information about who's behind this, I probably won't sign up

#4I love the concept. In fact, it's somewhat similar to the manual, ad-hoc scheme I've been using for years. It's always interesting to see exactly who is leaking your email address to spammers (whether intentionally or otherwise).
Edit: It does have the slight downside to making some human conversations awkward. "Just to confirm, the email address we have for you is... wait, what?"

Not only are they new, they're missing a bit of polish on the site. I'd like to know how it works but the "how it works" link doesn't go anywhere. Their browser extension also failed to install for me.
I like the idea but given the obvious problems and the fact that they want four bucks a month and no trial, I'm inclined to avoid. Shame because I would use something like this.
e: seems like "how it works" is meant to link to the video

#6I discovered that when you delete your email address for a week almost all the spam and newsletters disappear. I don't know exactly how it works, but it does. So every couple years I just completely disable my email address for ten days, or whatever, while on vacation.

#7Takes about 5 pages until you get to the little price tag. I wonder how many abandonments they will get. Personally I like seeing the price up front.

#8Am I missing something? Why not just create a filter that permanently deletes or marks emails from a certain sender as spam?

That doesn't catch the cases where the sender uses a different From: address, or shares your email address with third parties.

There is a pricing link at the top of the page.
