Once in a whileUsually, if you are registering at some kind of web service, you’re questioned for a email address to receive some kind of activation code. What happens with your mail address thereafter us mostly unknown. To prevent it from being abused by spammers, it might be a good idea to use temporary mail addresses.
10minutemail offers these in a very simple way. Once you enter the site, you get access to a email box and are able to receive messages for 10 minutes. But be aware, theres no form of encryption or authentication, so its possible for a 3^rd party to read these mails, too. Therefore you should avoid using this for sensitive data, but for evaluating different services without giving away your personal address this works fine.
