20 Great Temporary And Disposable Email Sites

If you are like me you visit literally hundreds of sites a day many of which require an email address for various reasons. Why bother giving out your person email address only to be hit with tons of spam when you can give them a temporary one that works just as well (in most cases).

The sites listed below are perfect for creating one-off “use them and toss them” addresses. All of them are totally free and most need no registration or sign up. Simply create an address and check your mail via the website, rss feed, a widget, your browser or in some cases you can have them forwarded to your real inbox.

    I really enjoyed reading your take on this new way of handling e-mail. I think you should check out OtherInbox, a new email service that fits right in line with what you are discussing.

    With OtherInbox, each user receives their own domain name (username.otherinbox.com) and proceeds to give out personalized addresses to each site or service (amazone@username.otherinbox.com, etc.)

    OtherInbox then automatically organizes these addresses, allowing the user to manage their email and, if necessary, block an address that is receiving too much spam.

    It is currently in a private beta, but this URL will give you (and 25 of your readers) a chance to try it out.

    Feel free to try the service out, and we look forward to finding out what you and your readers think.

    Thanks!
