hide email address

Aug 31, 2005 5 Replies

I keep going back into google my account and saying I want my nickname showing and not my email address and it still shows. Can anyone tell me how to stop it? barbie



Yeah...by spammers. It is not unreasonable for someone to want to protect themselves from having their inbox swamped with hundreds of spam messages, possibly even filling up the mailbox so that important messages can't get through in a timely fashion. (And, of course, in the US it's illegal for *anyone* other than a US mail carrier to leave something in a mailbox.)

Trouble is, Mirjam, thst they get used by spammers - like the rubbish post you get through your letterbox!

I understand all this , still i found it not so important to hide my home adress or email adress nore my phones ,,,,one has to have some contact with the world besides hiding behind screens etc... i have POB . only because our Mail persopns wouldn`t take mags ,,, saves me standing in line in the post office ,{ and our`s seems less safe than the home adresses , since it was robbed twice , during the last year .. mirjam
