Have you ever just wanted to check out what’s on a website, but the only way they let you in is if you fork over an email address? Or, better yet, you need to register for a site through a confirmation email, but don’t want to be on someone’s spam list. If either of these things have happened, Mint Email is right up your alley.

Every time you access Mint Email, a fresh email address appears at the top right. You enter it into the website asking for an email address, and keep the window open.

As soon as the confirmation email comes through, the browser window (or tab) starts blinking, letting you know that your confirmation email has arrived. Four hours later your temporary address expires, and any email list you would have been on now has a non-existent address.

I use Mint Email all the time to try new sites out. Give it a shot, at least it’ll stop spam.

Happy Stumbling!
