Here are some other throwaway email address providers that might work as alternatives to mailinator.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

If anyone has any experience with any of these and could comment on how they compare to mailinator, that would be very useful.

Here's a gratuitous plug for MailDrop, an open-source version. http://maildrop.cc http://github.com/m242/maildrop


I like fakemailgenerator. They have multiple domains, and incoming emails are shown almost immediately (very fast email servers and push notifications). http://www.fakemailgenerator.com/


Trashmail has an API, so good for various scripts. If I remember correctly you don't have an inbox, you just forward X messages to another email address, where X by default is 2. After that the email is deleted.


mailinator is still my favorite, but when I need an alternative I like SharkLasers. http://www.sharklasers.com/


10MinuteMail.com is my site, so I recommend it:) It's a bit more secure, in that there are no shared inboxes, each address is 100% private.


Some of your translations are confusing.


They are all provided by users, so I take what I can get:) I'm happy to make updates if you provide a better translation!
