Why do we need a temp mail address?

Websites and online services often require a valid email address to register, access or receive protected content, etc. However, the problem is that some of these websites may use our email addresses to send unwanted messages.

A good way to deal with this is to use a temp email address if you are not sure that this website is absolutely credible and trustworthy. This way, you can keep your emails away from spam and protect your privacy.

The disposable mail (also known as temp mail, temporary mail, or 10-minute mail) works like any other real email address with some differences:

• It is short-living – from a few minutes up to a few days (minemail.org keeps old emails for 2 days).
• It's just for receiving emails. Sending mail via temp mail service is impossible.
• Only text and html messages are allowed, and file attachments are disabled. The main reason is to protect users from dangerous content and viruses.
