Temporary Email for avoiding SPAM

Your email address is precious to you especially when you’re lucky enough to get a login name that you want.
Anyone who gets their hands on it can use or abuse it.
Every time you give your email address to someone, you run the risk of being spammed.
Every time you post to a newsgroup, or use a discussion board, the same applies.
And, once you get onto a spammer’s list, it’s very hard to get off.

You can’t just keep your email address a secret either. What’s the point of having email if nobody can write to you?
Lucky you for being here because I do have a solution for you…


Heard of “Temporary Email“?
Some of you might have heard of it and even used it… For those hearing this for the first time, carry on reading..

There are a few websites that provides free temporary email service.
These temporary mailbox will usually expire in 1 hour, some 1 day and some you can even customize it.
You can create a temporary email address and anyone can login without password. Make sure you are not using common names such as “admin”, “guest”, “raymond”… and etc. Use more specific names such as “raymondcc246″. Few sites does not offer you the power to choose the login name and they randomly generate a login name for you.
Some even provide secured temporary email address which you need to have both login and password to access the temporary mailbox.
As for sending anonymous emails from the temporary email account, not all have this function.

      MailCatch seems to be of the same kind, it appeared very recently. I tried it and it works just fine. I’m sold!
      It is free, has mail forwarding for a limited period, own choice of inbox name and it says it respects the environment. Lol ! :)

      http://www.selfdestructingmail.com — Offers temporary email addresses that last 30 minutes. You can reply to emails as well.

      These services are great, and many more are becoming available everyday. Of course, yahoo and gmail offer the ability to create secondary email addresses, but Yahoo Plus costs $20, while Gmail does not allow you to delete the secondary email address that you create.

      I think that until one of these services, Gmail or Yahoo come up with a simple cheap solution, temporary email services will probably flourish.

      In any event, it’s nice to be able to sign up for third-rate sites without fearing an influx of spam.

      I’m using Yahoo Address Guard which allows you to delete the temporary id after the work is finished. And you know scott, its all for free.

      You are right Gmail doesn’t allow you to delete the temp id.
