Everywhere you go online, it seems that somebody is asking for your email address whether there’s a valid reason for it or not. This can range from newsgroups, mailing lists or discussion boards, to shopping or voucher sites or simply to download a piece of freeware. Everybody wants it because they know how valuable it can be. The problem is, every time you give out your email address, you run the risk of being bombarded with spam, even if you think you have opted out.  You might be able to unsubscribe from some of these messages, but sometimes it can take weeks to get off the mailing list, or more often than not the option just doesn’t work at all. But thankfully there’s a solution by using disposable or temporary email addresses.

The general idea is for the temporary email address to be created and remain active long enough for you to receive a reply from whoever the address was given to. Then you don’t have to use it again. If you’re trying to signup for message board or streaming/sharing logins, it’s also worth checking sites like ButMeNot or Share Your Pass to see if somebody has already shared one you can use. The downside is anyone can login to the address you create without a password, even another user who accidentally creates the same name. This means for privacy reasons you shouldn’t send anything personal or private through them.

Make sure you are not using common names like Raymond, and use more obscure ones such as Raymondcc2468cc where possible. A few sites do not offer you the choice of login name and they randomly generate a username for you, some others will offer password protection for the account which offers better privacy. Below are 15 websites that offer free temporary email services along with what each service has to offer. They are listed in no particular order.
