List of 20 Temporary Email Services

I’m currently tweaking the new theme which takes more time than I thought. I just want to apologize for the lack of articles in the last days. Once the new theme is published I will have more time to write articles again.

I have been writing about temporary (disposable) email services before which can be used to register to certain web services without revealing your true email address. This is great if you do not want to risk that the website is selling your email address.

This is however a security risk if you do register at a service that is sending passwords to the email again if you have forgotten them. Everyone who knows the email that you have registered with could use the forgotten password request to get your password.

I have taken the liberty to paste the complete list from Sizlopedia in my blog.

  1. Mailinator is one of the best and top rated disposable email services that gives you a temporary mailbox on the following address format e.g. something@mailinator.com
  2. MyTrashMail is another good temporary mail service that gives you a mailbox in the address format e.g. something@trashymail.com and also gives you secure temporary mailbox if you signup
  3. MailExpire stands out in the crowd by giving you the option to have a temporary inbox ranging from 12 hours expiry to as long as 3 months
  4. TemporaryInbox is yet another simple and easy to use temporary email service that gives you an email address in different formats
  5. MailEater gives you a free temporary email inbox in the format e.g. something@MailEater.com
  6. Jetable not only allows you to set the life span of your temporary email inbox but also allows you to forward the mails in your temporary inbox to your real email address
  7. SpamBox gives you a temporary email address in the format e.g. something@spambox.us and also allows you to set the lifespan of your inbox
  8. GuerillaMail lets you generate a temporary email which expires in a time of 15 minutes and also tell you how to offer a temporary email service on your site.
  9. SpamHole provides you a 2 hour long temporary email inbox at the address format e.g. something@spamhole.com
  10. 10MinuteMail generates an easy 10 minute email inbox for your temporary email needs
  11. DontReg is one bigger, better, faster and safer temporary email inbox solution
  12. TempoMail is one new temporary email inbox services that give you spam-free mailbox
  13. TempEmail aims to give you a fast, anonymous yet secure temporary email inbox
  14. PookMail is a multi-language temporary email inbox service that gives an email address in the format e.g. something@pookmail.com
  15. SpamFree24 is a new multi-domain temporary email inbox service which is growing rapidly
  16. KasMail requires registration, allows up to 25 aliases, can set aliases to expire after a certain amount of time.
  17. SpamMotel requires registration, provides mail forwarding, mail can be accessed through desktop e-mail clients, can reply to e-mail from your real e-mail address using SpamMotel e-mail.
  18. GreenSloth requires no registration, receive-only, e-mail expires automatically after a week
  19. AnonInbox requires no registration, simple, no frills.
  20. Spam.la is a fast disposable email service which requires no registration, no frills. You can see all spam being sent to all Spam.la accounts, or just your own.

    I have used Spamgourmet.com for years. It works brilliantly.

  2. I think he missed this one
    http://www.dodgeit.com/

  3. And this MintEmail

    http://altagradazione.blogspot.com/2007/05/mintemail-e-mail-temporanea.html

    or Mierda Mail (spanish)

    http://www.mierdamail.com/

  4. James says:

    I also use http://www.mintemail.com. Its easier to use than mailinator

  5. Dante says:

    I actually paid, a cheapo $19 annual charge, for YahooMail that lets me set up disposable addresses for each vendor. i.e. I can set up dante-ghacks@yahoo.com for gHacks, dante-softpedia@yahoo.com for Softpedia, etc. Than I can keep these email boxes or delete them as I see fit. This is how I found out that Microcenter.com sells their client lists to spammers. I only get spam from dante-microcenter.com. I don’t get it from the other vendors.

  6. Fred says:

    I have been very happy with MailNull (mailnull.com).

  7. :) says:

    And this one
    http://us.trashmail.net/

  8. gatzet says:

    disposable email address from BugMeNot is fine as well

  9. Erick says:

    I’m using www.regbypass.com

  10. anon says:

    I am using http://spam.su. The advantage of it is that you just go to anyname.spam.su and read the mail for anyname@spam.su – no registrations, logins, passwords. No need to enter anything or to click anything!

  11. Sorkny says:

    MailCatch also offers this kind of services. It also gives RSS feeds for every inbox and adds the possibility to have incoming mails forwarded to you. It also can handle the whatever.mailcatch.com way of checking your mailbox. No registration, no signup, no hassle!
    It is also environment friendly :)

  12. Al says:

    I use SelfDestructingMail.com — They offer temporary email addresses that last for 30 minutes. You have the option of subscribing to a RSS feed for all new emails sent to the alias while it’s alive and you can reply to emails as well.

  13. bruce stenberg says:

    You should try SpamReturn.com – They offer 24 hours temporary email addresses. You basically can just come up with anything@spamreturn.com and then login to there website to check it.

    pretty cool.

  14. Spam Free Email says:

    Anonymbox should be added to the list. It allows 12 hours self destructed temporary email service.

  15. el marco says:

    Hey guys,

    Here is another one, I think it’s the best of all temporary inbox services : http://www.yopmail.com/

    Just try it !

  16. ljungberg says:

    This is my fav http://www.litedrop.com because you can reply back to the sender ;) also have rss feeds you can check your email in real time. I use it with my firefox :P

    p/s: mai self destruct in 1 hour :D

  17. sergio says:

    This is my fav http://www.20minutemail.com because I can create a free forwarding email also

  18. walker says:

    I agree with above comments.

    YOPmail.com is the best in my opinion . it is free, reliable and multilingual service.

    I have been using mailnator and other leading services for a while. They have downtimes, and unlike yopmail delete the mails in few hours. But yopmail keeps the messages for 5 days.

    YOPmail stands out is being the most neat, quick, and user-friendly disaposable service around. Have used it for sometime now , it has never disappointed me. There si no registration required, and it can be used on the fly.

    It has some pretty creative options like widgets, and RSS feeds. furthermore, it is possible to switch between html and text view and to display all email headers.

    Also, one can choose his own username while composing a mail. There are a few domain names a user can choose from. Email aliases, and random email generator is also available.

    Serves all my purpose conveniently ;)

  19. Kluyg says:

    http://noclickemail.com/ – great thing!

  20. AP says:

    Another good site http://spamevader.com gives you instant disposable inbox, no login or registration required. Simple and fast.

  21. Mike says:

    To add to the list try http://www.expiremail.com its a free, anonymous 15 minute disposable email account service. It comes complete with the ability to send & receive emails with attachments upto 2MBs in size as well as the ability to reply and forward emails. Other features include a resetable timer, randomly generated email address and no limit on the amount of accounts you can create.

  22. Anonymous says:

  25. Rick Fran says:

  26. temporary email says:

    A new site to add to the list : http://www.easytrashmail.com

  27. anuraag says:

    nice article author..add some more to his list check this out ..http://wiredcpu.com/top-temporary-or-disposable-email-services-which-needs-no-sign-up-or-registrations/

  28. Sesame says:

    Practically all, of these services are not so reliable or inspire trust. Non of them offers SSL connections, neither offer to set up a passsword to protect your temporary email account – I mean, password is a Good thing, otherwise, if, per example, you provide your temporary email address at a Forum or website – and your temporary email account is not password protected, then, the owner or administrator of that website you provided your email, can actually and easily login into your temporary email account – if it is not password protected – Cappicci?

  29. Mike says:

    Add this service to the list: http://ixi.me
