GET DISPOSABLE EMAIL ADDRESS TO AVOID SPAM

Often there comes a situation where one want to register with a valid email address for a site to get some information which is OK if one has to visit the site often. But may be you want to read something in a message board for one time, or a store where you want to do shopping once and have no interest in going back to it again and get spammed in your email box lifetime.

There are free web based mail systems like hotmail, rediffmail, yahoo etc where you can get email ID. But then you will have to register with them, remember a lot of passwords, security inputs, and lot of other details in order to set up the account.

Now a new solution has come up where in the email address vanishes after 10 minutes. This is a free service where there is no registration and no verification. Just go to the site http://www.10minutemail.com/ and hit “Get my 10 minute mail e-mail address”. You would instantly get an address that ceases to exist after 10 minutes. You can use this ID in filling out forms. This service has a simple web-based interface which gives you full access to any mails the account receives. With this service you can reply to the emails which you have received but you cannot send mail to those accounts which hasn’t emailed you. If your job is not done in 10 minutes then you can reset the time to 10 minutes more any time.
