Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for facilitating communications with service providers using disposable email addresses (DEAs) are provided. A first email, associated with a requested service, may be received from an email account. A set of service providers may be determined based upon the requested service. A DEA corresponding to the email account may be generated. A second email, comprising an indication of the DEA, may be generated based upon the first email. The second email may be transmitted to a set of email accounts associated with the set of service providers. Emails received from the set of email accounts that are addressed to the DEA may be transmitted to the email account. Responsive to receiving a request to deactivate the DEA from a device associated with the email account and/or responsive to determining that the requested service is completed, the DEA may be deactivated.
