To forget about spam and annoying emails with promotions, when registering on dubious sites, indicate a temporary email address that can be created using these services.

Quite often, you need to register on some site that you plan to use only once. Forums, blogs, file sharing and even some shared Wi-Fi hotspots ask for your email address. Then you find that your inbox is full of spam, promo messages and other nonsense that is being sent to you from wherever you register.

Temporary email services are designed to solve this problem. With the help of disposable mailboxes, you can register where you need to without worrying that you will be annoyed with unwanted correspondence.

Please note that some sites and forums do not allow the use of temporary email when registering. You can work around this limitation by trying a different mail domain.

1. TrashMail

Popular disposable email service. To use it, you need to specify your real postal address where messages will be forwarded. The number of messages forwarded can be configured. In addition, you can choose how long the temporary mailbox will last.

Registration with TrashMail is optional, but registered users can create multiple temporary addresses. You can choose from 16 email domains.

If you need multiple disposable email addresses, you can sign up for a TrashMail Plus account for $ 21.99 per year. A paid account allows you to create up to 5,000 temporary email addresses with an unlimited number of forwarded messages.

TrashMail has extensions for Chrome and Firefox that make it easy to sign up quickly.

2. Guerrilla Mail

Guerrilla Mail is one of the oldest disposable email providers, operating since 2006. Unlike TrashMail, Guerrilla Mail does not allow you to create multiple email addresses and does not ask for your real email address.

The received address will be valid for one hour only. But Guerrilla Mail is much easier to use and completely free.

Besides the web interface, there is an Android app.

5. Mailinator

Mailinator has one special feature. When creating a disposable mailbox, you can enter any address. If it's already taken, you can still use it. You can read all emails in mailboxes created by other users. They will also be able to read your letters. So Mailinator shouldn't be used when registering on really important sites and forums.

If necessary, you can register on Mailinator, making your temporary mailboxes private and inaccessible to other users. In addition, the service provides special tariff plans for developers and businesses, but for personal use, the free version is sufficient.
