[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1836193, member: 396914"] Pobox is a service. [url=http://www.pobox.com]Pobox Lifetime Email - Mailboxes, Email Forwarding, Spam Protection and Personal Domains[/url] is the website. More tutorial. You said: DuckDuckGo is a search engine, not email. It does what Google does to let you search the Internet, but keeps your identity private. So, for example, you can search for "British Columbia" and see places with information on BC in the Internet. Once you find a good site about BC you like, you can set a bookmark for that so you can find it quickly again. Bookmarks are "shortcuts" to web locations. So, in your browser (Safari or Brave, for example) you would save a bookmark for the BC website and when you wanted to go there, instead of typing in "www.<<whatever>>.com" you just click on the bookmark and your browser opens that site. DuckDuckGo knows nothing about your bookmarks but you can always set DuckDuckGo as a bookmark if you wanted to. Or you can set DuckDuckGo to be the default search engine for your browser and not need a bookmark. DuckDuckGo does NOT do mail. It does not provide mail service. It just searches the internet.
