Free Temporary Email Accounts
Anyone worried about giving their email out on different websites or to certain people, can worry a bit less.
Without any registration or work a person can give an account that can be later accessed to receive the email, while never giving you're personal account. myTrashMail allows people to make up any name @mytrashmail.com to receive a message at. This can be used when you must enter a email address for contests or for other registrations. It of course is not secure at all, but for such situations it may not matter.
If you do need a secure account, you can create such an account on their site with an address beginning with me. and ending the same as the standard accounts. These accounts can be used to receive passwords and other such information.
All of the accounts are completely anonymous and free.
The accounts are temporary though and the email is stored no longer than 30 days. The minimum time you have to access the account is 12 hours, so it does give enough time so you don't have to panic.
One problem you could face with the non-secure account is if someone else chooses the same name, they can access the email you received and possibly delete it, or you could access it first. Out of curtesy I would suggest not viewing other people's mail in such an account and especially not deleting it. I also strongly suggest deleting your own mail after you read it.
