Temporary Inbox
A temporary inbox is something like a disposable email address, which can be used to avoid spam. For example use your temporary email account at registrations. So they will never know your private address.
Here is a small instruction:
FIRST! There is no registration required!!
1. The situation: You want to signup at a website or whatever. You are at the registration form and you have to enter your private email address.
2. You don't want to give away your private email address. So you choose to use an email address from temporaryinbox.com.
3. Now click the "random email" button at the temporaryinbox firefox extension toolbar.
4. A random temporary email address has been generated now.
5. Copy it from the toolbar to the email address field in the registration form.
6. Enter the other things and submit.
7. Now you can check the inbox of your email address on temporaryinbox.com. But it's easier to use the firefox extension. Just enter the email account name you used before and press "Check"
8. Now you will be redirected directly to the inbox of your temporaryinbox account.
9. Open the email and click the activation link or copy the password... or whatever.
10. Delete the mail or let it be. However the mail will be deleted after 6 hours.
Temporary Forwarding (NEW!)
You can use this forwarding email address to register at websites/boards/lotteries and so on. As soon as you recognize that you receive spam, you can delete the forwarding and create a new one.
Works with:
Firefox 1.0 - 2.0b2
