MintEmail is a fantastic disposable/temporary email service offering a great mix of functionality and simplicity. Similar to other disposable email services, MintEmail provides visitors a temporary email address they can use to register for email-spamming sites. However, MintEmail has added some great features that make the site much more user friendly.
First, MintEmail automatically copies your new temporary email address to your clipboard as soon as you visit their homepage. Although this may seem like an unnecessary feature, it is a definite time-saver. This also ensures that your email address is entered typo-free.
Second, MintEmail loads new messages without a page refresh. For users, this means that you can open MintEmail in a tab and wait for the title of the tab to show the new message (similar to Gmail) instead of having to wait and refresh the page constantly.
Third, MintEmail automatically clicks confirmation links for you. Once you set up a temporary inbox, you can send most confirmation emails to your inbox for confirmation without having to visit MintEmail and click the link. Genius!
Fourth, MintEmail provides email forwarding. This allows users to set up an inbox that forwards directly to your real email. The lifespan of your inbox is adjustable as well, so you can use the same inbox for many months without having to re-enter your settings.
Rarely does such a simple and straight-forward service offer so many useful new features. MintEmail has made site registrations 100% less annoying. Bravo!
