WoW!!! That’s a huge list to choose from…
Byte of Technology Indeed it is
There are still a lot many services out there but they are not worth it. These 20 were the best and most reliable ones 
I use http://www.mintemail.com. I was a big fan of mailinator before I discovered mintemail. I think mintemail is the easiest and most user friendly temporary email services. For instance, the temporary email address is automatically copied to your clipboard and you don’t need to press CTRL+C. Also, you don’t need to refresh the page to check if your email has arrived. The webpage title is automatically updated and this is very useful in firefox tabs.
Also email.bugmenot.com
This is a very impressive list I think I’ll start using some of these in the future. But i notice that you seem to be missing my favorite http://www.tempinbox.com.
My first choice is mailinator, but lately I just make an account for spam and use it on all unimportant websites
Great list!!! Thanks…I’ll be providing a trackback.
undisposable catches them all
dodgeit.com
Really surprised that didnt make the list,,,,its super simple.
Sneakemail.com is also a very good one I have used for a while. I like this one because the emails do look very random and allows some neat rules when you are finished with the address.
Also, it is not as mainstream so not blocked by some providers who only want the real email address.
I’m pretty disappointed to not see SpamGourmet on the list…
dodgeit.com
Great list… Will help in fighting with spam…
mintemail.com is cool.
Thanks for the link, Julius.
Another is http://www.nobulk.com works for me. ;
spamavert is another gem.
I didn’t see http://2prong.com . Awesome site.
http://www.mailexpire.com is a fav. The expiry time option is very useful
Ben
http://www.controlpanic.com
it is always better to use multiple disposable email sites.
try
http://www.spaml.com
i agree, dodgeit.com is an excellent no frills temporary mailbox service. The registration service can be bypassed altogether following a perusal of bugmenot.com though, it has free searchable disposable logins for most sites that require registration
you forgot 2prong.com!!
alot more reliable, smmipler and better! i have been using it forever…. now..mailnator should not even be the first, it is so slow and unreliable most of the time
world’s longest alphabetical email address:
http://www.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.com/
most services have difficulty sending to a mail with that address
Quite an exhaustive list.. Good work
How could you not include hushmail.com? PGP already setup, completely free, super easy to setup, and if you don’t access it in a month, it kills it for you.
I didn’t know that these services actually existed. Thanks a lot for this, very useful.
Cool now registering to forums will be a piece of cake and I don’t even have to get those pesky spam emails anymore
http://www.tempinbox.com/
is one the best, interesting it wasn’t mentioned.
Nice exhaustive list, I have used only a few from this.
I love 2Prong
mailintor is my tip for whenever I need to login to porn sites!!
What about MailNull – I have tried all the rest and now stick with this – unlimited in its uses
http://www.emailmiser.com is a really nice one as well – super simple, and their big advantage is that you can send email to disposable addresses at at least 20 different domain names.
Thanks for leaving http://www.spamify.com off the list. Not only is it faster then the rest, you can also reply to messages sent to your temporary email address, which most services don’t offer.
another homey for dodgeit
Ads by Google above your post!? Are you crazy!?
thats a long list …
will check a few of them out …
am sure it can be useful … hehe …
ipoo.org is pretty awesome too!
it exists MierdaMail too
http://2prong.com
http://spamgourmet.com
http://sneakemail.com
http://e4ward.com
great!
Another good one: http://www.regbypass.com
Anonymity.ws – useful resource list.
Where`s the grand-daddy of them all? – Spamgourmet.
http://www.spamgourmet.com
I`ve been using it for years.
OK! Great list and I also read all the commentaries, also very helpful. Thanks for this article !
All the best !
PS: I will use them for testing.
I use Email Warden.
It gives me unlimited disposable email addresses.
None of the test mail I’ve sent to mailinator has ever shown up. They seem to be very unreliable.
The new one mailme.lv is quite good too.
The new one http://www.spamcero.com is quite good too. No Sign ups, no wait, no software, no buy…100% free
This information of disposable-e-mail-address-services certainly helped me to prevent spam. Thank you!
PookMail is a disposable email account system. Use PookMail to avoid giving your personal email address to suspicious websites. It’s very easy, anonymous and fun! Just think up a name and Go!
TempE-Mail.com
Free Disposable Temporary E-Mail Address (expired after 15minutes)
This one is good too
http://www.saynotospams.com
Here is my favorite;
http://www.MyTempEmail.com
lots of cool features, reply, forward, custome, auto-copy, the whole ball of wax.
FakedEmail.com
We all can certainly use these in “times of need”. Thanks for compiling them.
The author has missed a new temp email website.
http://www.tempemail.biz
The owner of that site, has also added a really cool widget. It allows people for $ 1 to add a Text URL of there website as an advert. I have already added an advert.
So you get a great temp email, and a chance to advertise your business – cool idea
cheers
Mark
I like IncognitoMail. It checks emails automatically and changes the page title if you have an email. You can also subscribe to an RSS feed for your address. Plus, I think they have a cute logo.
http://www.cosmorph.com Free 15 minute disposable email account. Create an address, use it, then abandon it without regret.
are there any services that let you pick a .edu adress?
I use DeadAddress.com for my temporary email purposes. It works better than most and all email accounts and messages are deleted daily by the server for additional privacy. Disposable use only.
I use http://www.dandikmail.com . Also recommended…
Too bad I tried several of these and the emails never came.
what a waste of 10 minutes.
Did you guys have tried http://hidzz.com/ ?
Found this site, and it’s brilliant.
Mainly because of the short url so its an easier email address, and its just easy to use and fast.
lopl.co.cc
Easy ae?
MailCatch seems to be of the same kind, it appeared very recently. I tried it and it works just fine. I’m sold!
My fav is MailCatch.com.
No signup, rss feeds, easy access, forwards, very nice clean and fast!
Your forgot to mention : http://www.mailzilla.org nice one with no signup
spambox.us is pretty neat
I’ve been using http://www.briefemail.com for the past couple days and it has worked great for me.
It’s great to see that not one comment is from spammers saying things like…”this will only work for a short time”…No spammers are commenting because temporary and disposable emails work against spam and there is nothing they can do about it.
Three cheers for something that is finally a 100% solution against spam that will work forever.
I use http://www.selfdestructingmail.com — They offer temporary email addresses that last for 30 minutes with the option to subscribe to a RSS feed for that disposable email alias. You can reply to emails as well.
http://www.selfdestructingmail.com
Provides temporary / disposable / self destructing email addresses that are valid for 30 minutes.
You can view received emails on the webpage or subscribe to an RSS feed which delivers all mail received to that address while it’s valid.
You can reply to e-mails as well.
This is ideal for signing up to forums or other online services which require valid email addresses for activation emails without worrying about having your real email address exposed to spammers.
Ever heard of litedrop?? No signup, rss feeds, easy access, very nice clean and fast! http://www.litedrop.com
goodluck anyway
Most of those are good sites and do the job, if your looking for another to add I run one called http://www.skeefmail.com
Enjoy.
Anonymbox provides 12 hours lasting temporary email service. You should consider of adding it.
A friend refered me to a new site ( http://www.soodonims.com ) that I am very happy with.
It allows unlimitted emails, they can be expired by time or quantity. You can also see who (which domain) is sending the emails to you and you ca selectively turnoff the misbehavers. It has a nice interface and gives you lots of infoata glance.
It has a nice interface and easyto you. I used to use Spam Gourmet but it was very confusing.
Thanks for the word Paul. I have been confused by this selection process for a while, guess you have to pick one sometime!
Cool site (soodonims), I am trying it out. Now I WANT to find someone to spam me after I register. Anyone know any sites that will for sure? Or ones who sell your names?
I love living on the edge
Apparently the way soodonims works (and others), is that they just ignore spam mail based on your instructions. We should start a campaign advertising spammer sites, have people signup with disposable aliases, and then deactvate them. That way they waste their bandwidth and never know it.
another one:
http://www.rapidmailbox.com
Been on http://www.soodonims.com for a week.
Very happy. Nice system. Clean and easy to use.
Was on Mailinator for a while, IMHO this is better. Haven’t tried them all of course.
Now I need a service where I can send emails.
Thanks Paul
nice list… found what i need here.. thanks
The new one Temp Mail is a really nice one as well. No Sign ups, no wait, no software, no buy…100% free
WoW!!! That’s a huge list boi
Hi, please visit: http://www.20minutemail.com
Recommending http://dumpyemail.com – has a feature of RSS email view, and IP hiding
Would rate A+
Soodonims.com works great, lots of features easy on the eyes.
Bobby
I am jumping in to add my 2 cents.
Recommending Soodonims.com
Excellent service with amazingly quick support
Craig CS
Well, my favourite is http://www.spamobox.com – it is the easiest and fastest service for temporary emails. No ads, no hassle.
I vote with the Soodonims.com people.
System is great, nice to use, speedy support, they listen. If I get spam, its a single click to vaporize it!
http://www.anonymbox.com is another alternative with 12 hours temporary email.
YOPmail is the best in my opinion . it is free, reliable and multilingual service.
I have been using mailnator and other leading services for a while. They have downtimes, and unlike yopmail delete the mails in few hours. But yopmail keeps the messages for 5 days.
YOPmail stands out is being the most neat, quick, and user-friendly disaposable service around. Have used it for sometime now , it has never disappointed me. There si no registration required, and it can be used on the fly.
It has some pretty creative options like widgets, and RSS feeds. furthermore, it is possible to switch between html and text view and to display all email headers.
Also, one can choose his own username while composing a mail. There are a few domain names a user can choose from. Email aliases, and random email generator is also available.
Serves all my purpose conveniently
Check also http://www.tempymail.com. In extra, it allows you sending outgoing emails too.
TemporaryInbox is for sale now.
