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.
- 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
- 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
- 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
- TemporaryInbox is yet another simple and easy to use temporary email service that gives you an email address in different formats
- MailEater gives you a free temporary email inbox in the format e.g. something@MailEater.com
- 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

- 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.
- SpamHole provides you a 2 hour long temporary email inbox at the address format e.g. something@spamhole.com

I have used Spamgourmet.com for years. It works brilliantly.
I think he missed this one
http://www.dodgeit.com/
And this MintEmail
http://altagradazione.blogspot.com/2007/05/mintemail-e-mail-temporanea.html
or Mierda Mail (spanish)
http://www.mierdamail.com/
I also use http://www.mintemail.com. Its easier to use than mailinator
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.
I have been very happy with MailNull (mailnull.com).
And this one
http://us.trashmail.net/
disposable email address from BugMeNot is fine as well
I’m using http://www.regbypass.com
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!
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 :)
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.
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.
Anonymbox should be added to the list. It allows 12 hours self destructed temporary email service.
Hey guys,
Here is another one, I think it’s the best of all temporary inbox services : http://www.yopmail.com/
Just try it !
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
This is my fav http://www.20minutemail.com because I can create a free forwarding email also
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 ;)
http://noclickemail.com/ – great thing!
