Top 15 Temporary Email Services

Ace Huynh
Internet is full of malicious softwares that collect email addresses of web users. Later, spammers will bomb these email by tons of spam mails. Therefore, many one-time email services appear to solve this spamming problem.

When surfing the web, you may have to use your email address to register an account, to use free service or simply just to read news. If you use your real email address, you are at risk of becoming the next victim of spammers. The best way to prevent this from happening is to use temporary email services. Here is top 15 of these useful services:

1. Mailinator: With a simple and friendly appearance, I think this is the best temporary email service. Users only have to type in the address and the webmail will give you an email as @mailinator.com. Then, you go to mailinator.com to check your email.

2. MyTrashMail: MyTrashMail allows you to change from short-term email to long-term email if you want.

3. MailExpire: you can choose your mailbox to exist from 12 hours up to 3 months.

4. TemporaryInbox: very simple to use. You can choose a few provided email addresses.

5. MailEater: provide email address as the form [mailbox's name]@maileater.com. I think this service has the fastest speed of opening your mailbox. The appearance is also very simple and friendly.

6. Jetable: allows you to choose the existing-length of your mailbox. This also supports feature to let you forward your email to your real email address.

7. SpamBox: provide email address as the form [mailbox's name]@spambox.us. Spambox allows you to choose how long your email address will exist.

8. GuerillaMail: this mailbox only exists within 15 minutes. GuerillaMail also provides its service for website for free.

9. SpamHole: this mailbox exists only within two hours with the form [mailbox's name]@spamhold.com.

10: 10minutemail: this mailbox only exists in 10 minutes as it is called. This service will find a random name for your mailbox.

11. Dontreg: this service has everything. However, nothing is special to talk about.

12. TempoMail: a French-English site provides a plug-in for Firefox. Therefore, you can use TempoMail anytime you want without going to the site.

13. PookMail: supports many language and provide you a mailbox as from [mailbox's name]@pookmail.com

14. Spamfree24: this site provide many domain for your email address.

15. Kasmail: this is a great service. However, I decided to rank it 15 because you have to register before using. You can choose up to 25 email address for your inbox. Each address is able to disappear after a period.

Each of these temporary email services has its unique feature. I hope you could choose your favorite one-time email through this article. This would prevent your email from being spammed.

    http://www.yopmail.com 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 ;)

    I use http://www.selfdestructingmail.com â€" 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.
