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.
One should not forget the security implications though. Since most emails are publicly accessible, it is possible to access sensitive information such as password reset requests as well. It is therefore recommended to use public email providers only for sign ups where this is not possible or where it does not matter to you.
I have taken the liberty to paste the complete list from Sizlopedia in my blog.
- Mailinator is a free email service that does not require you to sign-up. Just select any mail address in the form [email protected] and you are free to check if emails have arrived for it on the Mailinator website.
- MyTrashMail is another temporary email service that you can use without account registration. It supports several different domain names that you can use, and supports temporary private accounts which you need to register for but can then use exclusively.
- MailExpire offers several interesting options. You can select the private lifespan for the mail box, and also enter an email address to receive reminders to.
- TemporaryInbox is not available anymore.
- MailEater has been abandoned.
- Jetable is still available. You can create a temporary email address for a select interval and can check it online without registration.
- SpamBox provides you with similar options as Jetable. Pick a random email address and set the time you want it to be available.
- GuerillaMail one of the few tools that provides you with sending capabilities and not only email checking ones.
- SpamHole is no longer available.
- 10MinuteMail lets you create email addresses that expire automatically after ten minutes.
- DontReg is one bigger, better, faster and safer temporary email inbox solution
- TempoMail is no longer available.
- TempEmail enables you to create a free temporary email address without registration.
- PookMail is no longer available as a temporary email service. The operators have released the code as open source though.
- SpamFree24 has been abandoned.
- KasMail is not available anymore.
- SpamMotel requires that you register an account. It is not free as well, but provides you with additional features such as statistics or access in desktop clients.
- GreenSloth is not available anymore.
- AnonInbox is not available anymore.
- Spam.la is also no longer available.
He is missing the email service from Bugmenot.

You said that Outlook isn’t your main email client, so which is your main one?
I think its thunderbird
It is Mozilla Thunderbird.
Awesome! This actually solved my problem… what a stupid bug.
If this is the same bug that I’ve encountered, there may be another fix: (1) hover over open Outlook item in Taskbar, cursor up to hover over Outlook window item, and right-click; (2) this should give you Restore / Move / Size / Minimize / Maximize — choose Move or Size; (3) use your cursor keys, going arbitrarily N/S/E/W, to try to move or size the Outlook window back into view. Basically, the app behaves as though it were open in a 0x0 window, or at a location that’s offscreen, and this will frequently work to resize and/or move the window. Don’t forget to close while resized/moved, so that Outlook remembers the size/position for next time.
THANK YOU Claude!!! I could get the main window to launch but could not get any other message window to show on the desktop. You are my hero!!!!
Solved my issue! 6 years later and this is still problem…
Fantastic. Thank you. Size did the trick.
This solved my Outlook problem, too. Thank you. :)
Thank you so much, this started happening to me today and was causing big problems. You are a life saver, I hope I can help you in some way some day.
You are a god – thank you!

Yah…thanks Claude. I’ve been having the same problem and tried all the suggestions…your solution was the answer. It had resized itself to a 0/0 box. Cheers
Excellent post. This had me baffled even trying to accurately describe the problem. This fixed it for me.
Thank you
Thanks a lot for the article. Don’t know why it happenend, don’t know how it got fixed, but it was really annoying and now it works :-)
Thanks a lot. I was facing this issue from past 3 week. I tried everything but no resolution. The issue was happening intermittently and mainly when I was changing the display of screen ( as i use 2 monitors). The only option i had was to do system restore. But thanks to you.
I’ve been tried to sole this problem for 12hours. Your comment about changing the display of screen helped me a lot!! Thanks!!
Thank you…don’t know why this happened but your instructions helped me fix it. Running Windows 10 and office pro 2007

I had a similar issue with Outlook 2013 on Windows 10 and this helped me to fix it. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much. Solved!
Considering you published this in 2012, incredible not been debugged by Microsoft.
Thank you again. M
This problem was faced by only one user logging to TS 2008 r2 using outlook 2010.The issue was resolved.
Thanks.
Great tip. Thank you!!!! If it helps, I had to use the Control Key and the arrow keys at the same time to bring my window back into view. Worked like a charm.
Thank you, this worked !!!!
