How to Filter & Block Unwanted Emails (Spam) in Gmail
Mailinator is built on a unique concept: anyone can access any inbox, as long as you know its email address. You literally can come up with any inbox name you want (megacorpnewsletter123467, say), add @mailinator.com to the end, and use it in any email address field, say to signup for an online newsletter.
Here's how to use Mailinartor to create a disposable email address: First, go to the Mailinator website, enter the new email address, then click the green Check it box, and the inbox will open—no password required. You'll see any emails that have been sent to that address, and may even notice emails you didn't signup for if someone else has used that same email address before.
The email inbox interface works the same as you'd expect. You can read and reply to emails, download any attachments, and more. It's full-featured email, where all emails you receive are public to anyone who knows the email address.

Check any mailbox any time on Mailinator.
Mailinator isn't private at all—the address isn't tied to you. Any replies to it are public—but it is an incredibly simple way to get a disposable email address for anything you want, making it perfect for a fully anonymous email address (albeit one where any replies you may receive are public) or for testing out your new web app. You could even set up Mailinator on your own domain as an even better way to test out your own services.
3. Airmail - Randomized, Disposable Email Addresses
Airmail is another private email service that is quite similar to Mailinator, though with more privacy. You click a button, and get a random email automatically along with a unique code that lets you view any emails that address receives online without a password.
To get a new email address, just go to the Airmail site and click the Get Temporary Email button. Seconds later, an inbox view will load with your new randomly assigned email address and the unique access code in the address bar. You'll need to make note of both—or copy the URL with both codes in the address—to be able to see any emails you receive.
For example, say the email address I was randomly assigned was tutyw@grandmasmail.com, and in my browser's address bar, it showed the address as getairmail.com/tutyw/INGX. In this case, the first code is the address of the email (it does not include the randomly assigned domain name), and INGX was my unique code. In the future, to access the mailbox, just type out or copy the URL from the browser's address bar and you'll be able to access your email—though this will only work up to 24 hours after you last visited the page, after which time the emails will be deleted.

Another public option for a free temporary email address is MailDrop. This service provides throwaway email addresses that are cleared after 24 hours of inactivity.
To get a MailDrop email address, simply type a user name in the blank in the upper right in front of @maildrop.cc. Then, click the GO > button to see any messages sent to that email address.
For example, if I typed the user name web-designer in the blank, my temporary email address would be web-designer@maildrop.cc.

There are limits on the messages a MailDrop inbox can receive. Each MailDrop inbox is limited to receiving ten messages. The size limit for received messages is 100k. Plus, any attachments to a message sent to a MailDrop inbox are stripped from the message and thrown away. So, MailDrop is not a good option for sharing files.
Temp MailIt's also important to note that MailDrop inboxes are not private. Anyone with the email address can see the messages in the inbox.
