How does it work?

    (1) Register and create an akapost email for example JBlack@akapost.com and associate it with the email, i.e. JBlack@gmail.com that you do not want to be exposed.

    (2) Say you want to send an email to someone at blahblah@gmail.com and do not want your actual email to be seen. In that case, simply append the “.akapost.com” to this mail address “blahblah@gmail.com.akapost.com“ and send it.

    (3) The message will be then redirected to Akapost where your actual email (JBlack@gmail.com) details will be substituted with the one from Akapost (em>JBlack@akapost.com) and then then sent to the recipient.

    (4) When the recipient sends a reply, it first goes to your Akapost email and then gets redirected to your actual email.
