How to make a throwaway email account to avoid spam from the websites you sign up for

• You can create an throwaway email address using a range of online services that are free.
• Email accounts that are not used for sending emails are an excellent way to stay clear of spamand can also be used to quickly sign up to websites that require verification of email.
• There are two kinds of throwaway email accounts: permanent accounts that last the time you require them as well as disposable accounts that are only good for a brief period of time.

Imagine an throwaway email account as a digital dumping ground for unwanted mail.

Many websites require your email address once you sign up for an account, even if it's not required to access the website. The majority of websites will then begin sending you daily or weekly emails including sales offers, newsletters as well as notifications and other things you don't require.

This isn't even including websites that sell the email addresses of users to advertising agencies, or even accidentally leak their information, which results in more spam for you.

One of the most effective ways to stay clear of this type of email is to use an throwaway email account. An throwaway email account is an account that is not connected to you and is there to store all the junk mail you don't want. They are perfect for websites which require you to provide an email address, but you are aware that you don't want to be to hear from them again.

There are two types of emails that are discarded. You can set up a permanent account using Gmail and Outlook and only access it whenever you require it or need to, or you can use a free service to create an account that lasts a few minutes or hours.

Both work. You can choose a permanent account if you believe you'll have to look through the coupons or newsletters you receive in the future, or you can also use a disposable account for websites that you don't want to be contacted by again.
