Has it ever happened to you that a service asked for your email address just to send you a password, a download link or anything like that, but you couldn’t give it out, or simply didn’t want to?

A great solution in order to keep your address all for your self without leaving it to untrusted sites, is to create a disposable Inbox, that will only last for a few hours maybe, that will allow you to receive email messages as if it was a real account.

In this guide I have collected some of the best temporary email services that I found out there:

• TempInbox
  
  Free service that allows you to enter a name for your “@tempinbox.com” account and receive all of your messages, which can also be checked via RSS or Atom feed.

• GuerrillaMail
  
  Provides you with disposable “@guerrillamail.com” email addresses which expire after one hour. You can read and reply to emails, and also check them with a dedicated RSS feed. Free.

• TrashMail
  
  This service lets you create a disposable email address, that will forward all the received messages to your real account. You can set a number of forwards before the email will expire, or give it a limited life-time.
