HOWTO: Use A Temporary E-mail Service

Ever been really annoyed that when you sign up for a website your probably only going to use once, you have to use your own e-mail, or make another one if you don't want the spam? This guide is short and sweet, and will tell you how to use a temporary email.

1) Go to Mailinator.com. This site offers you emails which become created as soon as they recieve an email.

2) On the website you are wishing to use a Temporary Email on, enter your email as [Anything You Want]@mailinator.com.

3) On Mailinator, enter the email you used for the sign up. [EG. "vladis1337", not "[email protected]".]

4) Hit enter, and you will see the confirmation email.

5) Open it, find the confirmation link, and click it.

You have now used a temporary email. You can not delete emails you recieve.

(NOTE: If you recieve an email from the website, it will go to the mailinator email site. It would be a good idea not to share your mailinator email, but make it something hard to guess. It should not be used for important sites like Paypal, but rather one-time-use websites, or things such as Photobucket.)
