E-mail account just for trash - disposable

littlejaffa

Does anyone know the website for the company that allocates you a random e-mail address, you can access e-mails to it, but the whole account disapears in 24 hours (or similar) so you can use it for trash e-mail?

Mailinator.com

You can either pick your own address (to the left of the '@' sign) or use an autogenerated one.

Some sites that require email addresses are wise to this now and won't allow to to use Mailinator.

I've used it myself and it works well. When mail is auto-deleted it's gone forever.

I would definitely not recommend it for confidential information as it can be viewed by anyone who can guess the address you've used.

I would suggest you read the FAQ's at the Mailinator site to determine if it's right for you.

PookMail does this too...

yahoo mail also have an address guard/spare email for webistes etc which you choose when to delete

there are also a few firefox extensions (trashmail being one) which generate disposable email addys.

I originally used 10minutemail.com but sites started banning email addresses ending in that too - so I moved to https://www.2prong.com. This does not have the 10 minute restriction and 2Prong changes the domain every week in order to prevent the addresses from being banned

sneakemail.com is another one.

spamgourmet.com is pretty good. Basically it redirects to your normal mail account, but only a set number of email...

so for example, I would create an address anythinghere.10.chrisw2k@spamgourmet.com

it would then redirect the next 10 emails sent to that address to my normal email account.
