When it comes to Email, there’s always a question in the mind that how secure the email is. Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail etc. provide great security features to protect the email addresses. But however, there is still a thing called Spam Email which can’t be stopped entirely. Each of the email providers has its algorithm to detect the spam emails and to put them in a separate folder instead of the inbox. Sometimes, these algorithms can’t catch the spam emails and put the non-spam emails into the spam folder. To overcome such situations, you can try out the Disposable Email service.
What is Disposable Email?
Disposable Email service lets you create a temporary email address, which you can receive emails and to avoid spam emails. Say someone wants to send you an email, but you do not want to reveal your email address to him, at this time, you can use this service. Instead of giving your real email address, you can give him the temporary email address where he can send emails, and you can read it. Usually, these temporary email addresses last for a short time, from 10 minutes to 1 hour. Here are some of the sites which provide this type of service.
