Get a disposable email address from MailDrop

July 09, 2013

Your email address is like your home address: Never give it out unless absolutely necessary. Thus, if you're registering online for some freebie, promotion, or Web site that you just know is going to deluge you with ads and other spam, it makes sense to supply a disposable address—something you can access as needed for confirmation messages or the like, but that won't otherwise interfere with your primary inbox. MailDrop gives you a free throwaway email address. Use it in place of your own address, then head to the site to retrieve any messages you might need. It works like this: Think up whatever prefix you might like for your address, then add @maildrop.cc. Presto, there's your disposable email. For example, I might use hasslefree@maildrop.cc.
