Disposable email addresses: These providers are available

There are countless providers of disposable email addresses on the Internet. Instead of giving out your own email address, you can use a generated address.

Three popular providers of disposable email addresses

If you need a disposable address, these providers are available free of charge:

• At TrashMail.de, you don’t need to register to get a disposable email address. Emails are stored here for 24 hours and you can even choose your own trash mail address.

• You can also create any one-time email address you want at Müllmail.com. Incoming emails are stored for 3 days and can be deleted at any time. With a premium subscription, you also get additional email extensions and no advertising.

• At Spoofmail.de, you can choose between several domains. This is useful if you want to register on a website that blocks known disposable addresses. Unless you do so beforehand, incoming emails are automatically deleted after 24 hours. File attachments up to 2 MB are also supported.

Other providers of temporary email addresses

In addition to the ones mentioned above, there are other providers:

• You can also get free email addresses at Mailinator.com. No registration is required and no user data is requested, which ensures your anonymity. The service also offers spam filtering and a public inbox.

• You get more features with Tempr.email. With this German service, you can, for example, retrieve your received emails for up to 30 days or use your own domain. In addition, great importance is attached to speed and reliability. Basic spam protection is also integrated.

• 10minutemail.com promises simplicity and is suitable for quick tasks that take less than ten minutes. An email address is automatically generated when you visit the site and deleted after the time has expired. If you need more time, you can extend the time limit by 10 minutes by clicking on “Get 10 more minutes.”

• The German site Byom.de also allows you to generate an email. Personalization options include various security levels and storage duration.

• Compared to most other services, Fakemailgenerator.com allows you to personalize the fake email address yourself. The data is only deleted if you do not reopen the created page within 24 hours. This provider also works with multiple domains to circumvent blocking by websites.

Further information on using disposable email addresses

In addition to the services mentioned above, there are a few important points to keep in mind when using disposable addresses.

• Some providers change their storage times for received emails. Therefore, always check the current time limits directly on the website of the respective service.

• Make sure that you are using a secure connection (https) when using these services, as not all of them offer encrypted transmission. Modern browsers such as Chrome usually indicate an unsecured connection in the search bar.

• Many websites block known disposable addresses. Services with multiple domains or customizable addresses offer a helpful alternative here.

• If you value data protection, use European services such as Müllmail.com, as these offer transparent data protection guidelines and often have servers located in the EU.
