Best Temporary Email Address Service
Have you ever downloaded a software, where you have to register with your email to receive the activation-code or the simple download-link?
Have you ever registered to a forum with your real email, just to post one question or comment?
There are a lot of scenarios as such. And in every case, you give your real email address and get tons of “Thank You” and “Special Promotions” junk-mails.
Using a disposable email address, you can create a temporary email address of yours which stays alive only for a short period of time and automatically disposed off after the time period.
By using these Temporary emails services, you not only save the time by not logging in to your real email address to get the activation link, but also save your email account from unwanted spam.
There are dozens of Temporary/Disposable email services, but 10minutemail.com is the one I like the most. May be because it is the fastest to do the task.
10minutemail.com, creates a disposable email ID for a time span of 10 mins! Which is enough to register to the sites and receive email(s) having activation links.
Unlike other services of this type, there is only one-page interface of the whole website.
10minutemail automatically creates a new temporary email as soon as you land on its home page.
HOW IT WORKS?
1. Open 10minutemail.com
2. Just click and copy the already created temporary address, Don’t close the window.
3. Go to the site, where you want to register using this 10minute email address.
4. Come back to the 10minutemail page, from where you copied the temp. email address.
5. You’ll see new email(s) arriving on the same page under “Messages” table.
6. Just Click the email(s) you want to open.
7. Keep your eye on continuously updating remaining time, displayed on the page.
If you want to register on some other sites, using same temp.email address, new emails will be displayed on this same page. And the best part is that you dont even have to REFRESH the page in order to see new incoming emails.
Page automatically refreshes as soon as new mail arrives.
This is the reason I use this service , the one-page interface I was taking about, Less clicks and no additional page loads!!
After 10 minutes, account is automatically destroyed. You are now allowed to create new temporary 10 minute email address. 🙂
Mailinator.com is another recommended website for creating quick temporary email accounts.
