Temporary Mail Addresses

Did you know there are services to obtain a temporary email address? This could be useful for example when you want to register for something and need to receive an email in order to unlock the account, but you don't want to provide your real email address for whatever reason.

The service I usually use is mytrashmail. You don't have to sign up or something. Just specify an arbitrary XXX@mytrashmail.com and if an email gets in, the account is created. Then you just catch the mail on mytrashmail.com and after some hours the account gets deleted.

There are also some other services as mailexpire.com or spamhole.com but in my opinion mytrashmail.com is the best one.
