10 Minute Mail – Self Destructing E-mail Service

Saturday, February 13th, 2010 (No comments yet)
Self-destructing short-term e-mail address

Here's a useful tool;a self-destructing e-mail address!

The way it works is you go to the website, click the link and it will provide you with an e-mail address you can use when filling in account creation forms on a website. When that site sends you the confirmation e-mail, it will show up on the 10minutemail.com screen where you can respond to it (which all happens online and doesn't require any software download).

After you've confirmed the e-mail, you can forget about it forever as 10minutemail will destroy it after… 10 minutes (see how that works?). The main reason to use this is if you never want any communication from the site you're registering with (remember that means you won't be able to reset your password either).

If you're unsure if you want further communication, you should use your buffer e-mail account instead. On the other hand, if you're sure you have no need of an actual account with the site (other than this one time), see if there's a name and password available on BugMeNot.com (and if not, consider sharing your newly created account there when you're done.
