Six Temporary Email services that work [ Compared and Tested ]
Spam, is probably one of those few things, everyone hates. There are several ways, through which spammers get your email address. The only ‘Mantra’ to save you from spammers is, “Try not to give out your email address”, however this might not be feasible, because there are several instances when you need to give out your email address. So in such case use of the Disposable or Temporary email services is suggested.
Here I am Enlisting 5+1 different Temporary email services,
SPAM.Sucks

This is an awesome temporary email service, no sign-up, no password required. The uniqueness lies in its drop dead simplicity and accessibility,
- Just think of a username for yourself, and username@spam.su, becomes your temporary email address,
- Access mails at username.spam.su, however try to use some unique username, else conflicts may occur.
10 Minute Email
The name itself is pretty self explanatory, a temporary email account for 10 minutes can be setup using this service.
- Simply click on the link given on the page and as it opens on a new page, with your disposable email address. This page also acts like an Inbox for you.
- Just in case if the email you are waiting for has not arrived as yet, and you doubt if it will really reach your inbox before the account expires, you can use the ‘10 more minutes! ‘ link to elongate the auto-expire by 10 minutes.
SpamFree 24
To use this service, simply think of any username, and choose a domain name from the drop-down menu on the page. Now give this email address wherever you feel like, this email account expires after few hours. This service allows you to choose a different domain name. Try Spam Free 24
Will hack for Food
(Where did they get this name from, any idea? Share in comments.!!!). This is another service, with some extended functionality.
- Here you can get a password protected temporary email address, yeah, it needs a sign up, but the process is damn simple, as shown below.

- A life span, ranging from 8 hours to 7 days can be chosen for your disposable email address, you get the email address of form ‘username@wh4f.org’.
- A maximum size of 1MB, is the restriction for incoming mails, mails bigger than this size will result into delivery failure.However the maximum number of messages that can be stored also has a restriction of 10, if in case the 11th message arrives, the first message will be deleted, i.e., follows the FIFO algorithm, behaves like a queue.
mYTrash Mail
The uniqueness of this service lies in the fact that, here you can create both the type of disposable email account.
- A Temporary email account , simple inbox with no password.
- A Temporary email private account which is password protected, Two domains trashymail.com and mytrashmail.com are available (right now only trashymail.com seems to be active)
The password protected version is paid, but you can get a 30days trial version, this version also has loads of features, allows you to create many disposable email addresses as well. Try MyTrashMail
Mint Email
As soon as you click the link for mint email, page opens for you, has the temporary email address on the top-right of page. So this means the landing page of the Mint Service creates an email account for you.
- This email address is live for four hours, and it keeps checking for your emails hitting your Inbox. There is no need to refresh the page.
- If you refresh it will take you to another new Inbox. It also copies the email address to the clipboard, so you simply need to paste your email address wherever required.
However mint email, also has the email forwarding facility to your actual email account. To use a specific email address every time you visit mint email, check out the preferences page. Try Mint Email
Here is a complete comparison between the six temporary email service:
| Name of Service | Signup Required? | ‘Auto destruct’Feature | Life Span of account |
| SPAM.Sucks | NO | Yes | Few Hours |
| 10Minute Mail | NO | Yes | 10 minutes, if required can be elongated. |
| Spamfree24 | NO | Yes | Few hours |
| Will Hack For Food | Yes | Yes | User Defined |
| myTrashmail | Optional | NO | Until the account is not deleted by the user. |
| mint email | No | Yes | Four Hours |
As per my experience, I prefer the simple non forwarding email addresses, as it keeps it simple. So which service appeals you most, do share with us.

I personally like http://www.MyTempEmail.com It has a lot of the same features that the others have, I just think it is a little easier to navigate and use.
-Cheers!
Thanks for your article!
I just wanted to report couple of typos:
1) “www.username.spam.su” -> “username.spam.su” (otherwise it will not work)
2) “Try Smap Sucks” -> “Try Spam Sucks”
Regarding the lifespan, and the letters in the spam.su are stored for 7 days (if nobody deletes them manually).
Thanks again and have a great day!
http://www.yopmail.com is the best in my opinion . it is free, reliable and multilingual service.
I have been using mailnator and other leading services for a while. They have downtimes, and unlike yopmail delete the mails in few hours. But yopmail keeps the messages for 5 days.
YOPmail stands out is being the most neat, quick, and user-friendly disaposable service around. Have used it for sometime now , it has never disappointed me. There si no registration required, and it can be used on the fly.
It has some pretty creative options like widgets, and RSS feeds. furthermore, it is possible to switch between html and text view and to display all email headers.
Also, one can choose his own username while composing a mail. There are a few domain names a user can choose from. Email aliases, and random email generator is also available.
Serves all my purpose conveniently
I use http://spamevader.com – no registration or login required. You get disposable email address in one click. You can read and reply to emails, the address expires in 1 hour but you can reset the timer @ anytime.
