Does the website ask for an email id to view content? Don’t get spammed leaving your email there. Here is a quick way to solve this problem. Use the 10MinuteMail.
Whenever you are asked for your email id in the website you have visited, leaving your email id might result in lot of unsolicited spamming. So the best and easiest way to prevent this is to use 10MinuteMail. Like the name suggests, you can create your own email id which vanishes after 10 minutes. No username, no password nothing. With just a mouse click, you get an email id.
It’s not an email account that takes 10 minutes to sign up; it’s a one click signup where the account lasts for 10 minutes. All you need to do is :
Once you get your id, you can use it to register, fill up forms; web forms etc that need to confirm the visitor. You can even send a reply to those emails received but however you can’t send a mail to an id from which you haven’t received a mail. And after 10 whole minutes, the email id expires if you haven’t reset the 10 minute clock within the expiry of the account.
This seems to be a very useful service. Instead of logging on to your secondary email id you would have signed up for such signup forms and other web related email requirements to prevent your personal id from spam, and then later deleting all the emails received there, this is very simple and very quick; perhaps the best solution by far in preventing spam flooding your email account.
Useful service - I’ve used similar services myself. Much better than cluttering my inbox with junk, and [insert disgust here] many companies sell off lists of email ids - I proved it with a little GMail trick (more on that in a post)
10 minutes mail is a pretty decent service, I had used it one year back.
