Send Self Destructive Emails

Filed Under: Internet    by: Ritesh

You’ve just sent out an email to a work colleague and it went to a wrong receipient..

Do you…..

  • Regret after hitting the ‘SEND’ button?
  • Wish you could recall the mail so you wouldnt be in an embarrasing moment?
  • Wish your mail could self destruct, so there would be no proof that you sent the email?


If you answered “Yes” to any of the above questions, BigString is the solution for you.

With BigString basic account, you get an email address like yourname@bigstring.com, with features like

  • Self Destructing Email
  • Recallable/Erasable Email
  • Non-Forwardable Email
  • Non-Printable/Savable Emails

Before you send out the email, you can set your Email type as below.

If you set your Email type as “Recallable”, on the right side you have different options as to when you want your email to expire. Your emails are not sent as plain text, but instead as pictures, so once the email expires, the user cannot see the picture in his mail.

If you go Pro, which is available for $29.95/year, you can get POP3 access to your account, plus you can use your own domain name.

    [...] is a concern for all of us. A mail with a blank subject line brings a bad impression. One of my earlier posts mentioned about Self Destructing mails, but what do you do if you only forgot the subject [...]
