14 Alternatives to Mailinator for Temporary Email Services [January 2020]

About every website or app in existence seems to want you to register with your email address, and there’s a reason for that: they want to sell you something in some way. They want your permission to give you messages about their newsletters, latest ads, specials, and a variety of other items. 

You may want to sign up for those newsletters; I know I like it when Priceline sends me deals-of-the-day emails because it might inspire me to take a last-minute trip if there’s a good deal somewhere. But most of the time, what we want to do is sign up for the platform. What if we don’t want to provide them with our primary email address?

Using a temporary email service like Mailinator is one of the safest ways to keep your identity hidden. Not only does it make it simple to send an email that is completely anonymous, but any temporary email service also helps to have disposable inboxes for junk mail you don’t need. Unfortunately, certain internet providers and retailers become wise and block specific domains on occasion. 

Since Mailinator is one of the most commonly used temporary address pages, its domains are often blocked. You have other choices if your new Mailinator domain isn’t approved when you try to register for something. I looked at 15 Mailinator alternatives that provide similar services. In this post, I’ll go through each one and explain its peculiarities and features.

Email providers that are anonymous come and go, and a few popular ones have passed away. As of January 2020, all of the places I’ve identified are usable and functional. Each is free, with only a few requiring registrations, and all provide instant email disposal. Either of them, in my opinion, is a viable alternative to Mailinator. Let’s get started with the list.

 1. Guerrilla Mail

• Guerrilla Mail is a well-known disposable email service provider. 
• It uses a session address that is valid for as long as the session is open. 
• However, any emails you receive will be automatically deleted after an hour, so make sure you won’t need them again. 
• There are actually eleven domains to choose from, including the amazing @sharklasers.com, to minimize the chances of being blacklisted.

2. 10 Minute Mail

• It doesn’t get any easier than 10 Minute Mail. A simple web page with a ten-minute-long dynamically generated email address. 
• While the time limit may not be appropriate for all services, it is ideal for insurance, free trials, and websites that send instant confirmation emails.

3. Fake Mail Generator

• Another disposable email service is Fake Mail Generator, which promotes itself as a way to get unlimited Netflix trials. 
• That may not be your primary motivation for obtaining a temporary email address, but it will suffice for your needs. 
• Fake Mail Generator offers ten different domains and is highly user-friendly.

4. NADA

• Another easy way to get a disposable email address is via Nada (formerly Getairmail). Simply go to the site and a temporary address will be created for you. 
• You can also make a personal inbox. Keep the session open to keep an eye on your inbox, then close it when you’re done.
• While Nada has several domains, it assigns you an address and a domain; you do not have the option of choosing your own domain. It’s fairly simple, as many of the other places on this list.

5. Dispostable.com

• Disposable.com has a straightforward user interface with a white screen and a small box containing an email address generator. 
• Create your own name with @dispostable.com as the domain, or use their autogeneration command for a random address. Then you can put it to whatever use you want.

6. MintMail

• MintEmail is just another address generator that is extremely easy to use. 
• The current address is shown in the top right corner of the page, with the choice to change it beneath it. 
• When you open an email, it appears in your main inbox, where you can check or ignore it depending on your needs. It’s easy to do and very successful!

7. Mail Drop

• Maildrop is a better alternative to Mailinator since it has a more advanced page from which to create disposable email addresses. When asked, create a prefix and it will be ready to use. 
• Keep an eye on your inbox to get things done. 
• Although a few providers seem to have blacklisted the @maildrop.cc address, it appears to operate in the vast majority of cases.

8. YOP Mail

• Even though YOPmail’s website design is from a decade ago, it still works perfectly. 
• To view the junk mail that arrives, create a name on the left and press Check Inbox. 
• If you’re a frequent user of disposable email addresses, the site even has a plugin and widget, which is a pleasant touch. 
• There’s also a chat service where you can communicate with other YOP users.

9. spamgourmet

• Another website that could use a redesign is Spamgourmet, but its services are usable. 
• It has a no-brainer mode that takes care of anything for you, as well as an advanced mode that provides better security but needs some user feedback. 
• In any case, creating a temporary email address to protect yourself from spam is easy.

10. Harakirimail.com

• Harakirimail.com has a brilliant website and generates a fake email address in a matter of seconds. 
• If you’re a regular user, there’s also a web plugin you can use. Make a name for yourself, then press the red envelope icon to get started. 
• It’s that easy! If you want to use fake email on the go, the site also has an iOS app and browser extensions for all of the major browsers.

11. Mailnesia

• Mailnesia functions in a similar way to the other Mailinator alternatives on this list. 
• Give your email address a name, then click the green arrow to complete the process. 
• If you can’t think of anything, you can create random addresses by clicking the text link below.

12. Tempr. email

• Tempr.Email is a quick but powerful email program. Make a new email address, pick a domain, and check your inbox. 
• That is everything there is to it. You may also choose your own domain or create an email address at random. 
• It’s an easy method that works well, and it comes with a Firefox plugin if you need it. 
• There are a few hundred different domains to choose from as well.

13. 33 Mail

• 33Mail provides disposable email addresses as well as a few other features. 
• You must register to use it, but in exchange, you will be able to track inboxes for much longer periods of time and even forward emails to your real or fake email address. 
• It’s also possible to respond to emails anonymously, which is a clever trick.

14. Temp Mail

• Our last recommendation is one of the most well-known temporary email services available today, and it’s well worth investigating. 
• TempMail is a straightforward address provider with ten separate domain options. In addition, they have a VPN service and a Chrome plugin for daily users. 
• When you need to update your email, it’s simple to do so, and the inbox is always refreshed, so your messages arrive as soon as possible.
