Online Tip – Avoid spam with disposable E-mail account

Couple of days ago, Ankit Das reviewed a SEO tool called Traffic Travis. The software could be downloaded but to test it, I needed to register with an email address. I usually get sceptical of such sites that ask for email, because this is how your inbox can end up being spammed. 10 Minute Mail is an nice online service which creates disposable E-mail address for us to register and work. As the name suggests, the email account lasts for only 10 minutes.

10 Minute Mail Features

  • When you visit the URL, a temporary email address is automatically created.
  • This can be copy-pasted anywhere. The email notification can be see at the page itself. This email id self-destructs after 10 minutes.
  • A good thing is if you need another 10 minutes then that option also exists.

Over years there have been a lot of filters, court orders and more to deal with email spam. Fact is spam seems to just keep increasing. This is why I think it is better we use innovative services like 10 Minute Mail. What are your views ? Do drop in your comments.

This is also a an option but I guess, many people keep separate ID’s for experimental stuff, which we do not care about.

Those ways and mail sites are really cool and can save our important mail boxes from uneven junk or spam.
