Mailinator


  • What is Mailinator?
    Mailinator is a different kind of email service. The biggest difference is that you don't need to sign up. Any email name you can think of already exists at Mailinator.com. Want BrianTheSkink@mailinator.com? You got it. Want to be JacquesKooStow? ScaryGavyn? GraysonTheMason? No problem. They exist when you create them and they are just waiting for you to check your inbox.
  • How is Mailinator different than some other web email, like Yahoo or Hotmail?
    Mailinator is fundamentally quite different from other services. Other services like Gmail or Yahoo allow you to actually send email. You cannot send email from Mailinator. After several hours, all email is auto-deleted. A Mailinator email inbox can be read by anyone. There is no real security here. Mailinator has strict rules about what kind of email it receives. Plain text is best, html is filtered. Images, attachments, and fancy stuff are simply stripped away.
    The upside is that Mailinator requires no sign-up. Send email to a name, and the account is created automagically.
    In a nutshell, other services provide more functionality but require a sign-up (which takes time, even if you falsify all the information anyway). Mailinator provides less, but requires no sign-up.
  • Do I want this?
    Are you Kidding? YOU SURE DO !
    In our internet world, you often need an email address NOW. Signing up for an email service takes time. That's probably ok for most emailing, but every now and then you need a quick email address for just a single email. After that you don't care what happens to it. Given that such an email address is ready in an instant, you can avoid giving out your real email address when you are afraid of getting spammed. Instead, make up any address @mailinator.com on the spot and go check it later.
  • So Mailinator solves the Spam problem?
    Heck no. If it solved the spam problem it would probably be called IBMinator or MICROSOFTinator or something even catchier cuz we would have sold it and we'd be zillionaires off pursuing our real dream of helping nice people like Dr. Bahutu of Nigeria who keeps emailing us asking for our help transferring some funds.
    Mailinator gives you an opportunity to skirt one avenue that spammers use to spam you. It's just one extra tool in your spam-fighting toolbox.

    Probably a useful site to deal with spammers or using for pranks or whatever!
