Disposable Email Address Yopmail

Disposable email addresses provide the user with an easy to access temporary email address that they can use to register to services on the Internet without having to think about protecting their main email address from spam. While most Internet services are legit and do not sell the email addresses of their users some do sell them. Once an email address is on a spam list it is close to impossible to prevent spam from arriving in the mail inbox.

Disposable email addresses can be created at a wide variety of services. Yopmail is one of the newer services. The disposable email address service does not require a signup and provides access to any email address in the form @yopmail.com.

A user who wants to signup for a service that requires an email address - maybe for verification - can select any desired username for the yopmail.com domain, for example ghacks@yopmail.com. The email account can then be checked by the user and anyone else who is choosing or guessing the username.

Emails that are listed in the email account can be read and deleted. There is no way of answering an email using the disposable email address service. Mails will stay for a period of five days in the account unless they are deleted in that time by a user.

Yopmail provides a plugin for Internet Explorer, an add-on for Firefox and a widget for Opera which should please the majority of Internet users. Many other disposable email services display the emails as text messages only. Yopmail can switch to HTML emails and display the mail headers as well which is great for analyzing the contents.

Another interesting option is the ability to forward mails to another email account. That comes in handy if the email contains account specific information like usernames, passwords or security questions.
