One-time email address. We create disposable email addresses

Have you ever thought about why disposable tableware has become almost as widespread as reusable tableware - ceramic, silver, aluminum, etc.? Because it is indispensable in solving certain everyday problems: lunch in the office, impromptu party, picnic, etc.

What about email for 10 minutes? Also a very useful tool in some cases. Temporary addresses are indispensable when necessary:

  • hide your real mailbox when registering on any website or forum;
  • send an anonymous message by e-mail;
  • organize temporary forwarding to your current e-mail;
  • quickly (without registration) and free of charge receive a fictitious (temporary) mailbox address.

So, let's take a closer look at the most popular services on the Internet that provide email for certain periods of time.

When you open the main page, it automatically displays an e-mail for 10 minutes (its “life” timer is displayed above the address).

To transfer an email domain name to another site, click the “Copy…” button and then move the cursor to the place (field, form) where you want to paste the email and press the “Ctrl+V” key combination.

All correspondence that comes to the ten-minute mail will be displayed in the “Inbox” section. In approximately the same format as in other email services: indicating the addressee, the title of the letter and the time of receipt.

At any time, you can extend the existence of the newly created e-mail for another 10 minutes or destroy it and create a new mailbox. If no action is taken by the user, after ten minutes the mail is destroyed automatically.

Advice! After the mailbox is destroyed, it can be returned using the “Recovery...” option under the message “... was destroyed.”

The online service has a minimalistic design. The panel contains only two control buttons:

  • "copy address"- transfer the generated email to the clipboard for pasting on a third-party resource;
  • "reset timer"- extend the validity period of the box, set the timer again to 10 minutes.

Plus, 10MinuteMail supports a multilingual interface. To select a language, open the drop-down menu in the site header.

The service with the original name “crazy mail” differs favorably from its analogues in that it allows you not only to receive incoming letters, but also to send messages to any e-mail. To enter the corresponding section of correspondence, just click “Inbox” or “Outbox”.

You can delete received messages. Also in the control panel you will find the “Refresh” button; after clicking it, the page reloads, saving the received data.

To extend the operation of the mailbox on Crazymailing, in the vertical panel on the left, under the inscription “Need more time,” click the “+10 min.” button as necessary. or “+30 min.”

If you want to organize the forwarding of letters to a real (with password) mailbox from a temporary one or quickly change ten-minute emails, register for the service. Authorized users are provided with more advanced functionality.

Temp-mail.org

Russian-language service with a user-friendly interface. The generated address is displayed immediately after the page is loaded in the header.

Mail management is carried out using the side menu:

  • “Copy” - copies the e-mail address to the clipboard;
  • “Refresh” - refreshing the page;
  • “Change” - creating an e-mail with the desired address. In the form that opens, the user sets a login and selects a domain name from the drop-down list;
  • “Delete” - destroys the box.

They also have convenient plugins for Google Chrome and Opera, an application for Android and iOS.

Positioned as a powerful anti-spam tool. Performs temporary forwarding from a temporary mailbox to a permanent mail account.

In the “Email address:” field, enter your current email address. In “Life span”, set the validity period of temporary mail (1 hour, 1 month). And then click the “Create your disposable...” button.

You can indicate the address received on the server in the registration forms. Messages through it will be sent to your email within the specified time. This way you will get rid of receiving advertising mailings and messages from the services where you registered. After the expiration date, the temporary mailbox will be destroyed, and forwarding to a permanent email will no longer be performed.

Use temporary E-mails! With them it is much more convenient and safer to relax and work on the Internet!

Sometimes we all need an inbox for “five minutes.” Register on a forum, or some website, only to download some necessary program, or for a “one-time” correspondence with a person who does not want to share his main email.

In such cases, temporary email services come in handy. They can be used without fear that your main email address will be exposed in spammer databases or used for commercial mailings. Disposable mail can be used in other cases, for example, to send anonymous letters.

All the services discussed below operate using the HTTPS protocol and most have a Russian interface. If one of them does not work, use the next one.

Attention! Do not use temporary email to receive important emails containing personal data or information that could be used to access resources you value. Basically, mailboxes created in such services are public and can be viewed by anyone.

Tempr.email

Tempr.email is an advanced temporary mail service that provides the user with many useful features. You can use a random email address or set your own by choosing one of several dozen domains. For some domains it is possible to use a password.

Mail on each of the created mailboxes is stored for 30 days. Users have the ability to receive letters in text and HTML formats with attachments (up to 10 MB), write and respond to letters, print and save letters, manage their spam list, use a direct link to access their mailbox, and view letters in RSS or ATOM feed.

Among the advanced features, we should mention the ability to use your own domain for mailboxes. In this case, you can choose whether you want to make this domain public or private.

GuerillaMail

This temporary mail service creates for you, when you visit its website, a mailbox, the letters from which are deleted an hour after receipt. The mailbox itself does not have an expiration date, but if desired, you can quickly delete it or create a new one. By default, the email name is generated automatically, but it can be changed by the user. It is also possible to choose one of the available 11 domains if one is blocked on the site on which you plan to use mail.

The service understands HTML perfectly and accepts emails with attachments. GuerillaMail also allows you to send letters and attach files up to 150 MB in size. In addition to the web version, this service has applications for Android (with somewhat reduced capabilities) and an extension for the Chrome browser.

TempMail

When you first visit the site, an E-Mail will be created for you. If for some reason you are not satisfied with it, you can change it using the name you came up with and one of the 10 proposed domains.

You can use TempMail indefinitely. It will be valid until you delete it. The only thing is that received letters are destroyed after 60 minutes. There is no possibility to send letters.

In addition to the online service, TempMail offers its users extensions for Chrome, Opera and Firefox browsers, as well as applications for Android and iOS. The interface of this temporary mail service has been translated into many languages ​​(including Russian and Ukrainian).

DropMail

As with many other temporary mail services, a DropMail mailbox is created immediately when you visit the service’s web page. With the click of one button, you can create additional addresses with one of six available domains or “multiply” an existing address using a template. Each temporary address is unique and is issued only once.

The service provides the ability to configure the forwarding of letters from a temporary mailbox to a permanent one. You can also enable notifications of new emails using browser pop-ups. To save letters on your computer, you can download them all as an archive or download them individually.

Unlike other similar services, a mailbox on DropMail is provided without any time restrictions. It will exist until the page is refreshed. If you need access to previously created mailboxes, use the “Restoring Access” section, but remember that this way you can only restore email addresses, but not the letters themselves.

The DropMail interface is available in Russian and Ukrainian, displays Cyrillic correctly and works with attached files. But it is impossible to send letters from it.

Moakt

Moakt is a temporary email with a simple and intuitive interface. It is possible to specify the address yourself or use a random one. Mailboxes are public - anyone who enters the same address can view its contents.

All information about the mailbox is deleted an hour after receiving it, but its lifetime can be extended. Among the advantages is the ability to send letters and receive attached files.

Mailsac

Mailsac's disposable email service allows you to create a temporary address with the name you specify. In this case, you can use a public (available to everyone) or private (registration required) mailbox.

Without registration, you are only allowed to receive and read letters. After registration, users have the opportunity to create an unlimited number of addresses, save letters, and access via POP3 and SMTP.

Temp Mail Address

An email address consisting of a randomly generated first and last name is created in this service immediately upon entering its home page. By default, you can use it for 60 minutes, but you can set it to a different time – up to two weeks. You can delete the address (a new one is immediately created) or create your own.

A nice little thing - Temp Mail Address immediately offers you a randomly generated password and avatar for use on the site where you are going to register using this temporary mail.

10 Minute Mail

When you enter the website of this service, you will immediately be allocated a temporary randomly generated eMail address. There is no option to set your own or change your email address.

Any letter sent to this address will appear on the 10 Minute Mail page. You will be able to read and answer it. By default, the mailbox will self-destruct after 10 minutes. You can increase its lifespan with a special button, each click of which resets the counter to 10 minutes.

10 Minute Mail allows the use of HTML, but does not accept emails with attachments. It is possible to reply to letters and forward them. The service has been translated into many languages, including Russian and Ukrainian.

NADA

NADA is a service that provides its users with a “permanent temporary” email account. It will be active as long as the domain on which it is hosted is active. With NADA, you can create multiple aliases and domain combinations for your email, and after using them, delete them if necessary. For this purpose, the service provides 10 domains.

From time to time, developers drop domain names that are too familiar and replace them with others. At the same time, a month before such an event, they inform users about this so that they can transfer their mailbox to another domain without haste.

Despite the durability of the mailbox, individual messages are stored in it for only 7 days, which, however, is much longer than on some other similar services.

Unfortunately, you cannot send emails using NADA, nor can you receive files attached to incoming emails. Another disadvantage is that anyone who enters their name can gain access to a particular mailbox. After all, it is impossible to password protect “your” email here. Among the advantages is the presence of an extension for the Chrome browser.

Crazy Mailing

The CrazyMailing service provides a temporary mailbox for 10 minutes. Just go to his page and you will receive a randomly generated email address (you cannot choose the email name yourself). If the default time is not enough, you can extend its lifetime by pressing the “+10 min.” button the required number of times. In this case, the maximum period of activity of the box is limited to 30 days.

CrazyMailing allows you to accept emails with attachments and displays the Cyrillic alphabet correctly. The website interface has been translated into many languages, including Russian and Ukrainian.

To provide greater ease of use of the service, developers offer extensions for Chrome and Firefox browsers that make it easy to create and use CrazyMailing. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, the extension for Firefox is outdated and cannot be installed on the latest versions of this browser.

After authorization using social networks, the Crazymailing user receives additional features - sending mail with attachments up to 10 MB, forwarding incoming letters to the main mail, generating up to 10 additional addresses, a button to increase the service life of the mailbox “+30 min.” etc.

My Temp Mail

My Temp Mail is a simple and convenient temporary email service. Go to the main page of this site, click the “Start Here” button and you will be redirected to view the incoming letters of the newly created address. Click, if necessary, on the “New Inbox” button and you will create another address.

Among the useful features of this service are the ability to send letters, the ability to link your own mailbox domain, automatic opening of links in received letters and notifications about the receipt of letters. Disadvantages - only English version of the interface.

AirMail

Go to the AirMail website and click on the “Get temporary mailbox” button so that the service will generate a unique email address for you and move you to the “Inbox” page. Here you can copy the newly created address, replace it with another one and view the received letters. Like most similar sites, AirMail does not have the ability to send emails, does not support forwarding, and does not allow you to receive attached files.

You can access your mailbox on this service using a unique link, so you can leave the page (after saving it in your bookmarks) and return to it later. But you should remember that AirMail deletes letters and magazines every 24 hours.

Tempail

Tempail provides everyone with an e-mail address that will be destroyed after 1 hour. To receive it, you just need to go to the main page of the site.

There are few available options in this service. You can use the QR code to access the page from a mobile device and delete the mailbox (a new one will be generated immediately). The service has been somehow translated into Russian and Ukrainian.

MailForSpam

As the name suggests, the MailForSpam service is designed to receive spam. Messages are stored on it for a limited time and are deleted as needed in free space on the server (this can happen several times a day or once a month).

Logging into your mailbox on MailForSpam is easy. You just need to enter the address in the form on the main page and click the “Login” button. There is no option to send emails or receive attached files.

Flashbox

Flashbox is a simple Swedish service that provides basic capabilities for creating and using a temporary email address. Just enter the desired address or use one created by chance and go to your inbox.

Letters from the mailbox (which holds 200 letters) are deleted 30 days after the last message was received. There is no option to receive attachments or send emails. Since all created mailboxes are password-free, be careful not to use this mailbox for important correspondence.

Mailinator

When you enter the main Mailinator page, you are immediately prompted to create a name for your temporary mail. Just enter it in the form and click the “GO!” button, after which you will be taken to the web interface of the newly created mailbox. Subsequently, you can check mail coming to this address simply by entering his name in the appropriate field. Of course, there is no need to talk about any privacy here. The lifetime of letters is several hours.

The free version of Mailinator only works to receive emails. The service understands HTML markup and the Russian language, but does not accept attachments (they are simply removed from emails). The paid version of this service has great capabilities (saving emails, forwarding, chat, API access, private domain...).

EmailOnDeck

You can create a temporary email on the EmailOnDeck service in two clicks - the first is to pass the captcha, the second is to receive an automatically generated email address. You cannot change the name of this address or add additional addresses to your mailbox in this service. There is also no ability to send letters and receive files attached to letters, but there is the ability to restore access to the mailbox using a previously saved token. The interface has, among others, Russian.

The EmailOnDeck developers do not set any lifetime for the temporary address. What is known is that it “must be valid for more than an hour.” If you close your browser or clear your cookies, you will lose access to it sooner.

In addition to free functionality, this service also has paid features - custom mailbox names, saving addresses, exclusive domains, secure deletion of logs, private letters, etc.

TempMail

TempMail is another public temporary mail service. This means that if two or more people choose the same name for a mailing address, they will use the same mailbox. And they will be able to read all the letters coming to him. According to the creators of the service, they do not save any information and delete the mail after two hours. The advantage of the service is the ability to receive attachments up to 30 MB.

In addition to the temporary mail service, TempMail also provides the ability to use toll-free phone numbers to receive SMS.

HarakiriMail

The service with the self-explanatory name HarakiriMail destroys letters received at the address you entered 24 hours after they were received. You won't be able to set a password for your mailbox here. You can't send emails, just like you can't receive attachments. Pros: Availability of an application for iOS and extensions for popular browsers.

Mailgutter

Mailgutter, like the other sites on this list, allows you to get a free temporary email address. You can choose between an automatically generated address, or enter one yourself. A password is not set for the mailbox, so anyone who enters the address in the form on the main page of the service can view the letters in it.

A valid email address is required when creating various accounts and registering on certain sites.

But it is not always advisable or possible to indicate your real email, and in such cases, temporary one-time email without registration may be required.

The essence of the service

What exactly is temporary mail and how is it provided?

Temporary mail services generate random mailboxes located on their server.

These boxes, depending on the “scope” of the service, can range from several tens to several thousand.

When starting to use the service, the user receives an email address on the server and login credentials.

Access is provided for different periods of time, depending on the conditions, from a single opening of a letter to several months.

After this, the passwords for the provided mailbox are reset, stop working, and the mailbox can be provided to another user with different credentials.

The functionality of such a service may differ depending on the format of work.

It can work only to receive incoming messages, or it can assume the ability to send correspondence and receive incoming messages over a short period of time.

Why is it needed?

Why can’t you indicate your real email when registering, since almost every user has one?

In what cases might a temporary dummy mailbox be needed?

There may be a number of reasons for this:

  • The user has already registered on the site with his real email, but now cannot remember any backup data of his account for recovery;
  • The user has been blocked from the site, for example, for violating its Rules or for some other reason, and can no longer re-register with the real address;
  • An account registered to a real address on this site already exists, but another one is needed;
  • After registration, many sites begin to send unnecessary information to your mailbox - account login information, message notifications, etc., and disabling this in the account settings is long and difficult, so it’s easier to create temporary mail;
  • Other purposes are a prank, a surprise, confidential distribution of any information when the sender’s email address should not be recognized.

Of course, you can simply create a different email each time on standard servers (gmail, mail, rambler, yandex, etc.), but this is quite complicated and inconvenient.

The process takes a lot of time, and it is inappropriate to carry out it if the mail is needed “one time”.

Advantages

The main advantages of using temporary mail services are described below:

  • Saving time on registration procedures;
  • There is no need to invent different credentials every time;
  • Getting rid of mailings, spam and other unnecessary letters on the main mail;
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality when necessary;
  • Ability to create multiple accounts at once.

Although using temporary mail can be associated with a number of difficulties, it is still more advisable than using a permanent mailbox.

Flaws

However, using the service also has some disadvantages associated with the very principle of its operation, and which cannot be avoided.

These are phenomena such as:

  • Since email passwords no longer work, it is impossible to recover the password from the account that was registered to it;
  • Since addresses on some services are transferred from user to user when passwords are changed, when creating an account on a popular site, there is a possibility that the email you use has already been used there - in this case you will have to request an additional address;
  • You will not be able to receive important news about changes to the service.

Such shortcomings, in principle, are not too critical and are not always relevant, so the benefits of such services still outweigh.

Crazymailing.com

As soon as you go through it, right on the Home page, at the top of the screen you will find a randomly generated email address that you can use.

Above the address itself in this field there is a countdown timer showing how much longer the mailbox will work.

The address obtained in this way remains valid for 10 minutes.

If there is not enough time, and you cannot accomplish everything you need in 10 minutes, find the section Need more time?

On the left side of the page and click on the +10 minutes button.

To use the adjacent +30 minutes button, immediately adding half an hour of time for using the box, you need to register on the site or log in to it using social networks.

To do this, in the upper left corner of the start page, find the social network buttons under the service logo. Click on the desired button and log in to the service with your social network data (Google, Twitter, Vkontakte).

On a blue background, just below the address field, the contents of the mailbox are located.

When you first enter the site, you see in your mail only one welcome letter from the service administration.

But if you register with this mailbox, another inbox will appear - to open it, just click on it.

The appearance of the letter is no different - it is the same as when using any other mailbox.

At the top of the screen are the Mark as Unread, Reply, and Delete buttons.

The service also functions normally for sending letters - on the start page, on the right, under the address field, there is a Write button.

When clicking on it, the user is redirected to the authorization form - only authorized users can send emails.

If you need to save an incoming or outgoing letter, then find the corresponding button. Do you want to save the letter? on the left side of any page on the site.

After clicking on it, an input field for the real e-mail will open, to which a copy will be sent (this service is also available only to users authorized in the service).

Tempail.com

When crossing it, to Home page you'll immediately find an email address ready to use.

Click on the address and copy it. Now it is ready for use during registration, but in order for it not to stop working, the site cannot be closed - while the site is open, the email is active, but as soon as you close it, another one will be generated.

Important! An additional advantage is that in the site header on a blue background you can find a QR code button. When you click on it, you will automatically receive the appropriate code corresponding to your temporary email. There is no particular point in such a service, but sometimes it can be useful and even necessary.

The disadvantage of the service is that you cannot send letters from such temporary mail. It only works to receive and view incoming messages.

Temp-mail.org

A service with a name similar to the previous one, but completely different in functionality.

To use this service, follow the algorithm:

  • Find your temporary email address in the field at the very top of the start page and copy it - there is even a special button for this at the top of the page, on the left;
  • The main part of the page is occupied by the field where your inbox will be displayed;
  • The Refresh button in the menu on the left is needed to check the contents of the mailbox - there is no automatic update;
  • The Change button involves creating any desired temporary email address - click on it to open the corresponding field, enter all the necessary data in it and click Save;
  • You will be notified of a successful address change by a message on a green background that appears after clicking the Save button;
  • The Delete button is used to delete a mailbox after use so that others can use it.

The main disadvantage of this service is the same as in the previous version - it is impossible to create an outgoing letter.

Mydlo.ru

A simple service for generating temporary mailboxes, located at https://www.mydlo.ru/.

Provides minimal but sufficient functionality and is easy to use.

The time it can be used is unlimited, but the page cannot be updated either - when updating, a different address is generated.

  • The address itself is located in the very top field on the start page;
  • By clicking on the button with the image of a tablet to the right of it, you can copy the data to paste on the site;
  • The orange I don’t like button is needed to generate another address - click on it and the data in the top field will be updated;
  • The field below is necessary to display inboxes - they appear automatically, there is no need to refresh the page;
  • A letter is opened by clicking on it, just like in any other mail.

This service is not suitable for sending letters, does not provide any additional services at all, but, nevertheless, it is quite convenient, simple and functional.

Dropmail.me

A simple and functional service is located at https://dropmail.me/ru/.

  • In the field Your temporary mailbox, the actual address is displayed, which can be easily copied by clicking on the image of the tablets to the right of it;
  • In the Incoming mail block, which is updated automatically, all incoming correspondence will be displayed, which can be opened by clicking on it;
  • There is no time limit for using the generated combination, but you cannot refresh the page or restart the site, as this will lead to the automatic generation of another email;
  • Click on the Additional mailbox button and another address will be automatically generated for you, and if you click on the arrow next to this button, you can also select the desired domain for it;
  • To the right are buttons for setting up audio and visual notifications about receiving a new letter (disabling or enabling both types).

You can contact support by clicking the Having problems?

The site is convenient and multifunctional, but like many, it does not allow sending outgoing messages.

YOPmail.com

A simple service with some unique functions is located at http://www.yopmail.com/ru/.

Its distinctive feature– creating a unique mailbox address.

To do this, find the input field in the upper left part of the page and enter the desired combination, then click on the Check mail button.

If the address is not busy, then the mail page will open for you.

On the left there is a list of incoming correspondence; the main field contains the contents of letters, which are opened by clicking on them.

At the top there is a Write button that allows you to send messages. Click on it and generate text.

This site does not provide the function of copying incoming and outgoing messages to a real mailbox.

Conclusion

All such services provide approximately the same functionality, with the exception of a number of features.

For example, a not very convenient characteristic is the limited time of using the service, as in the first case.

If you need to send a letter from a temporary address, then you need to be more careful when choosing a service, since not all sites provide this opportunity, as well as copying correspondence to a real mailbox.

The “Anonymizer” function has appeared in the settings of the mail service of the Mail.Ru portal. With its help, you can create a temporary email address and use it

  • for on various forums and sites that do not inspire confidence,
  • in coupon services,
  • or in dubious, unreliable online stores,
  • as well as when submitting advertisements for the sale of something (to communicate with possible buyers), etc.

Then, when the temporary e-mail is no longer needed, you can easily delete it.

Anonymizer Mail.ru is a service for creating temporary mailboxes inside your main, permanent mailbox on Mail ru.

It is a generator of temporary email addresses inside the main mail.ru mail.

How to create temporary mail.ru

You can create a one-time mailbox (in other words, temporary mail ru) after 6 steps:

1) you need to go to your mailbox mail ru official website:

2) enter your username, password,

3) in the upper right corner click on your login. A menu will open in which you need to click “Mail Settings” (2 in Fig. 1):

Rice. 1 Where are the Mail settings in the Mail.ru mailbox

4) At the end of the “Mail Settings” menu, select the “Anonymizer” item (1 in Fig. 2):

Rice. 2 Anonymizer: Add a temporary address to Mail.ru

5) In the “Anonymizer” form that opens, click on the “Add temporary address” button (2 in Fig. 2).

6) The “Create a temporary address” window will appear (Fig. 3):

Rice. 3 Create a temporary address for your Mail ru mail

To create a temporary mail inside your Mail ru mail, all that remains is:

  • 1 in Fig. 3 – agree with the proposed name for temporary mail mail.ru, or enter your address (of course, provided that such a name has not previously been occupied by other users).
  • 2 in Fig. 3 – agree with the mail domain (that is, mail.ru), or click on the small triangle and select another domain from the proposed list: inbox.ru, list.ru or bk.ru.
  • 3 in Fig. 3 – it is advisable, but not necessary, to write a comment for yourself so as not to forget why an e-mail was once created.
  • 4 in Fig. 3 – select the folder in which incoming correspondence will be collected. By default, a folder of the same name is created (with the same name as temporary mail), but you can select a folder from others that already exist in your Mail.Ru mailbox
  • 5 in Fig. 3 – enter the code from the picture. If the code is unclear or hard to see, you should click on the “I don’t see the code” link.
  • 6 in Fig. 3 – click on the “Create” button.

Rice. 4 How to copy and how to delete temporary Mail ru mail.

As can be seen in Fig. 4, temporary email created – [email protected].

How to use a temporary box

Opposite the temporary email, click on the “Copy” button (1 in Fig. 4), after which the temporary email will be copied to the clipboard, that is, placed in the computer’s temporary memory. Please note that the “Copy” button (and the “Delete” button) appears (“pops up”) only after you move the mouse cursor over the name of the temporary mail.

Now go to where you need to specify this temporary email, place the cursor there and press Ctrl+V (in order to paste what was copied to the clipboard). After this, a temporary email will be placed where it is needed for registration or anything else.

Useful points

You can create many such temporary boxes. The main thing is that the user himself does not get confused in them later.

We must remember that all temporary mailboxes are accessible only through the main Mail.ru mailbox. In other words, you can only access temporary mailboxes if you log into your main mailbox. Temporary mailboxes are accessible only using the login and password of the main mail.ru mailbox. This is roughly how we get into our house: first we go into the corridor and only then can we get into other rooms.

After the temporary mail has been created, you can go to your main mail.ru mail. There you should find a new folder (Fig. 5), which will have the same name as the temporary mail. Compare the folder name in Fig. 5 with the name of the temporary e-mail that was created earlier, in Fig. 4. It is clear that the names are the same.

You can open a letter with additional information that arrived in a new folder. It will have the following title: “You have created a temporary address. Mail.ru recommends that you read this letter.”

Rice. 5 Folder with new temporary Mail.ru mail inside the main mailbox

What are the benefits of temporary boxes? Of course, because they can be removed. In this case, the main mailbox will remain safe and sound.

How to delete temporary mail.ru mail

After deleting temporary mail, letters will stop coming, but old letters will remain in the folder.

To delete temporary mail, you need to follow the steps described above, I will repeat them here:

  • you need to log into your main mail.ru mailbox by entering your main mail login and password,
  • click on your login, that is, on the name of your email (Fig. 1),
  • go to “Mail Settings”,
  • click on “Anonymizer” (Fig. 2),
  • Move the mouse cursor to the temporary mail that you want to delete. Only after this the “Copy” and “Delete” links will appear,
  • click on the “Delete” link (2 in Fig. 4) opposite the temporary e-mail that is no longer needed.

Other methods for temporary emails

Often, after registering on some resource, intrusive mailings begin to arrive. Spam filters in Mail.Ru mail do not always cope with their function. The Mailru anonymizer will help compensate for this shortcoming. Although, in principle, there is nothing new in this function.

There have long been resources for creating temporary e-mails, for example:

  • 10minutemail.com (more details),
  • mailinator.com.

The only difference is that Mail.Ru combined temporary e-mail with the main mail service. The main mailbox can now only be used for correspondence with real people.

How to delete the main mail.ru mail

The temporary mail.ru mailbox can be deleted without much thought, that’s why it’s temporary. But with the main mail.ru mailbox, you need to think carefully and remember everything that can be connected with it: in addition to the bad, then (alas, often only after deletion) both good and valuable may be discovered there.

The fact is that after deleting the main mail.ru mail, it will be possible to restore the login (name) of this mail.

The first question that may arise is why people use anonymous email messages when there are many free email services available today like Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo! Mail? Well, privacy and anonymity are our right, a digital right. These email services are “free” only because of advertising.

While this is considered a necessary evil, advertisements are specifically targeted at visitors and users, and in order to do this, providers need to obtain data to tailor advertisements to you. That is, you will see advertisements that you are most likely to click on.

Moreover, the disclosure of the intentions of intelligence agencies and Internet censorship services (like PRISM) has caused much dissatisfaction on the part of privacy advocates. If you want to prevent your email messages from falling into the wrong hands, then in this article we will tell you several options that will help you send and receive anonymous emails.

Anonymous email messages provide the basic basis for user anonymity on the Internet. The Internet is not a secure repository, and you should at least have some control over who has access to your data and who doesn't. If you do not want to disclose your data and information, you can at least use anonymous email messages.

Note: Anonymity on the Internet is not possible without hiding your IP address, so you better use Tor or any other proxy or VPN service before you decide to use one of the tools suggested below.
