Here’s a great solution for a temporary email account, called 10 minute mail. If you guard your regular email to prevent spammers from finding it, you probably don’t want to hand it out every time you’re required to register to use a website, or provide an email for confirmation. Using a Hotmail or Yahoo account requires jumping through hoops and providing personal information, not to mention, registering for an email account there takes time. And if you hand THAT email out every time you register somewhere, soon it will become full of spam, which was the very thing you were trying to avoid.

The solution is 10 minute mail, a truly disposable email account. The site requires no registration to set up your email - you instantly get an email address good for 10 minutes, which should be long enough to register for whatever site you’re visiting. If not, you can extend the time limit. Once you’re done with 10 minute mail, it deletes itself!
