10 Minute Mail – Creates Temporary Email Addresses
The idea behind this service is so simple and useful that it could have major success. 10 Minute Mail does exactly what it says – it creates a disposable email address so users can avoid giving their regular details. Email validation is needed to take part in discussions, games, or to access certain websites. Sometimes people ask for an email address to send a quick communication and 10 Minute Mail provides a speedy solution.
The design needs to be quick and easy to use and it is. The name is easy to remember and find, and the temporary email address is automatically created the moment the user arrives on the site. For the next 10 minutes this email address is available, and the user can check for incoming emails on the same screen and also reply to them. If time runs out there’s an option to request 10 more minutes. Everything is available on the main screen, together with a choice of languages making it multinational. As there’s no need to navigate between screens it’s possible to carry on with other activities and get back quickly to check for incoming emails.
There are alternative solutions to this problem, such as creating extra email addresses, but this takes more time and leaves unnecessary email addresses filling up with spam as many sites sell on the email addresses they collect. 10 Minute Mail does the work quickly and it’s a joy to see the email address self destruct when it’s no longer needed. The only disadvantage is that the email addresses are obviously not personal ones, which could be important when passing them to individuals.
