Jetable.org - Disposable Email Address Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

The Bottom Line

Jetable.org provides easy to use disposable email addresses that auto-expire after a certain time. Useful when you need an address just once, it's not an all-around disposable email solution. Jetable.org is no longer available.

Pros

  • Jetable.org disposable addresses are easy to use
  • Email addresses at Jetable.org auto-expire
  • Jetable.org addresses have no connection to your real email address

Cons

  • Jetable.org can't be used for newsletters
  • Addresses can't be disabled manually at Jetable.org
  • Jetable.org does not rewrite replies to use disposable address

Description

  • Jetable.org lets you create temporary email addresses that forward all mail to your default address.
  • Jetable.org addresses expire and stop forwarding automatically after one to eight days.
  • Use Jetable.org whenever you need an email address quick and just once.
  • A Mozilla Firefox extension lets you create Jetable.org addresses via the context menu.

Guide Review - Jetable.org - Disposable Email Address Service

You're often asked for an email address on the net: to use a forum, to order something, to receive an email from your new IM acquaintance,... What you can never be sure of is that your email address won't be used to spam you.

So, instead of submitting your real email address it's better to get a temporary one at Jetable.org. These addresses, easily created either via the Jetable.org web site or a Mozilla Firefox extension, expire automatically. Until then they forward all mail to your real address, however.

Since Jetable.org addresses will stop working no matter what, you can't use them to subscribe to newsletters, for example. You should also make sure your new-found friend knows your real address before the disposable address expires.

Yet, whenever you need an address just once Jetable.org is easy, fast and useful.

Some Web sites won't accept a jetable.org email address in their forms. The jetable.org site goes down ""for maintenance"" from time to time, and may be unavailable for a duration of several days to several weeks. If it happens to go down during the time you were expecting a message to be forwarded through the service, you're out of luck.
