Ever Have you wondered if there is the possibility of having a temporary email account?? It is not something very frequent because, in general, when we communicate with someone we want it to be recorded and that the information always reaches a good port and that it can be answered, that is, to be available.
However, yes there are situations in which a finite email can be interesting, and that is precisely what we will see today with TempMail. This is an application that, as its name indicates, you will help us by creating temporary email accounts.
If you are interested in knowing how does this software work and what uses can you give it Keep reading because you will find out below.
What is and what is Temp Mail used for? Uses and advantages
TempMail is a software that generates a temporary and disposable email account. This means that, after a certain time, it will disappear.
Is can be used normally both to receive electronic messages, read them, download attachments, etc. You have your inbox, your update button (in case you’re in a hurry, hehe), the possibility of creating another account and the possibility of deleting the current one.
Accounts sometimes have a predetermined lifetime that may or may not be extended. In the case of this software, the address lasts as long as we want, disappearing at the press of a button. Know that I know It has an extension for Chrome, which shows you the email account and the possibility of changing it as well as if there are emails and access to your tray. This can also be installed from the website.
The main use and that a domestic user can demand the most is that of have an address to register anywhere and then do not get spammed. We create an account, we use it for the registration that interests us, the verification and the reception of some automatic content if necessary and goodbye, “very good”. Contests, promotions, sending pdf`s files and other digital gifts, etc.
But not only . Our temporary account will be sold, along with thousands of others, as part of a database, something highly demanded by companies that later use the addresses to do email marketing or seek, from these, more information about the user, reaching the point , even, to communicate with us by phone if they succeed.
Or, what is worse, your account goes to cybercriminals trying to hack it. They do! There will be nothing of interest there, when they want to access it it will simply disappear.
Another use that we can give to this type of (although it is not the case of Temp Mail) is that of sending anonymous correspondence. You will be able to say what you want to whoever you want from an address that has nothing to do with you, impossible to associate with any of your data.
How does the TempMail anonymous temporary email service work and how to create a free email?
