Two Places to Get Disposable Email Addresses
The world is full of disposable things – disposable diapers, disposable razors, disposable lighters, and so on. Disposable email addresses are desirable if you don’t want to give someone, something, or some company your real email address – mainly because you don’t want to be flooded with spam – or maybe you just want to skulk around the Internet furtively like EB.
For every one of you who’ve ever wished for a fake email address that you could use when ordering online, joining something, or flaming EB, there is probably a fake email site. There are dozens of them. If you’re favorite is not listed here, don’t blame me – three means three.
MailDrop
Number one on our list of two – zowie! what an honor! – is MailDrop because you’re allowed to make up the first part of your fake email address – the first part being not the second part or more clearly the part before the @.
Well, I’m not going to spend my time being redundant (yes, I’ve turned over a new leaf)… so I will let the MailDrop folks tell you all about it.
MailDrop
MailDrop is a free throwaway e-mail address. It’s temporary. It’s transient. It’s disposable. It’s meant for those times when you don’t want to give out your real address. Just give someone any e-mail address in the maildrop.cc domain, come back here, put in the e-mail address, and you can see that inbox.
MailDrop has no signups.
MailDrop has no passwords.
MailDrop is designed for no security.
MailDrop is designed for little to no privacy.
MailDrop offers the ability to give out a quick e-mail address to any site or app, then after you’ve established more trust with that site, you can give them your real e-mail address.
MailDrop helps to stop your inbox from getting flooded with spam from that one time you registered on a site that got hacked.
MailDrop can be used to get your receipt for your e-commerce purchase, without signing up to be spammed regularly with “latest offers”.
In short, MailDrop can help you cut out the amount of junk in your inbox.
Wow, don’t you love red? How about my fake email address? Do you like that? You can’t have eb-whipped-me@ because I have it locked up!
Get your own fake email address at MailDrop and send the spammers scramming.
ThrowAwayMail
Love the name, don’t you? You know all about tearaway clothing right? It’s big in football and funeral homes. Well, this has nothing to do with tearaway, or caraway, but it has a lot to do with ThrowAway…mail that is.
With ThrowAwayMail you cannot make up spiffy email addresses like eb-hates-me or eb-eats-dead-flies, you have to take what is generated for you. However…look at it this way, it’s completely random. Just make sure you don’t forget your own fake email address or you will be gnashing your teeth.
ThrowAwayMail
ThrowAwayMail.com is a disposable e-mail address service. Every time you visit ThrowAwayMail.com a new e-mail address is generated just for you. The generated e-mail address can immediately receive an e-mail, and any e-mail that is received will show up on the main page. No one other than you will see the e-mail that is received.
There are many reasons for using a disposable e-mail. You may want to give someone an e-mail address without revealing your identity. Or you may want to sign up for a website or web service but you are concerned that the website will send you spam in the future.
It is important to note that when you restart your browser or your computer, the generated e-mail address will be gone and a new e-mail address will be generated upon visiting this website.
Go forth now, if you dare, and get your own fake email address at ThrowAwayMail
Just remember — don’t forget the address they assign you or your mail will be gone with the wind.
Yawn… there are many, many more fake email sites. We might feature a couple of more, but not tonight. I’m too tired. EB made me do laundry today as well as fix computers and polish her Crocs.
If you have a favorite fake email place, comment on this article and share your favorite fake email sites with us all – saves me a lot of writing.
One fake address was in an article by TC & EB in InfoAve Premium many months, few/couple of years ago.
The site is spamgourmet.com.
http://www.spamgourmet.com
The good part of this program is that it is not necessary to generate a new email address, this one can receive as few or as many as the user decides, and with one of your current genuine email names in the address the replies go to that particular inbox.
As in the example below, you are the one who chooses a name for the site to which you give out as a reminder when receiving one or more replies, so if I wanted no more than 2 replies from Cloudeight I would write the following :- cloudyday.2.mememe@spamgourmet.com. ‘mememe’ could be my gmail name, the 2 between the dots/periods only allow 2 replies in my gmail inbox.
The replies are re-routed to my account which I registered with spamgourmet when setting up the fake address.
This works really well as there are times when an email is sent from say, Cloudeight, requesting the sender to click on a link to verify the email address.
One of the best is http://www.throwawaymail.com. I use them and http://www.emailondeck.com all the time and super useful.
As an alternative to temporary/fake email addresses, you can also get temporary phone numbers. e.g. quackr.io – hope it helps!
