How do I set up disposable e-mail addresses?

rgthomas · Jul 14, 2009, 18:49:29

My notes from when I first came to IDnet say disposable e-mail addresses or aliases (expiring after a short period) can be set up. But I can't find
any current help on this. Can anyone tell me how to do it please?

I've not seen or heard of it myself, but someone should be along soon

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I don't think, but someone may correct me on this, that disposable email addresses are available from the free idnet.com service.

Looking on my IDNet account, I can only setup email accounts, but there is no time limit on them, they can however be deleted at anytime.

You can set up as many email addresses as you like, and delete them, so I guess that's as close to 'disposable' as you might get with the free IDNet addresses.

There are a couple of other solutions that I know of, those being: http://10minutemail.com/ and http://www.mailinator.com/ either of which might do what you require.

Disposable email addresses? Isn't that what Hotmail was invented for?

I think with the .net you can. I can set up alias accounts with my domain mail with IDnet, but you cant on the .com addresses as far asI know. I can set up alias accounts with my yahoo mail as well.
