Dispostable: Get a Disposable Inbox

February 6th, 2010 | Comments Off | Posted in Tips N Tricks

You might have heard of disposable email address for sending email anonymously. Dispostable differs from those services by providing you with a disposable inbox. It can only be used for receiving emails and not for sending. It’s like creating an email address that destructs as soon as you clear your created inboxes.

The creation process only takes a few seconds. You can choose your own username or choose a random name for your inbox and begin handing it out immediately. You don’t need to register for an account to use the service. There is also no login needed in order to view the messages left on your dummy email account.

What is it good for?

You can use the service to create a dummy email address and hand it out to a person or group of persons you don’t trust completely with your email. You can receive messages through Dispostable and download them in EML format. The EML format is commonly associated with Outlook Express and is used by other email clients as well, so you won’t have a problem opening your saved email from Dispostable.
