What is Mailboxable?
Mailboxable is a site that provides you free disposable e-mail address.
A disposable e-mail address is an address that you can use only one time. The
goal is to use it only one time. No registration, no password, unique usage.
You give a Mailboxable address every time you don't want to give your personal
address. This way, you keep spams away!
What Mailboxable can do for me?
Keep spam away from your peronal mailbox.
Avoid giving you real address on every web site.
Anything you can do with a temporary e-mail address :) You should have many ideas.
How it works?
When you want to register on a web site and don't want to give you real e-mail address, you just give a Mailboxable address.
Concretely, you pick a nickname, a word, anything you want (for example
foobar). Then, you can use foobar@maboard.com
The messages will directly arrive into the foobar Mailboxable's mailbox.
Why using Mailboxable and not another?
Of course, we are not the only one site that provides disposable e-mail address.
But the others only have one or two domain that makes them quickly baned on many
web sites.
That's why we provides you domains that never stay very long. We keep domains for
about one year. This way, it's difficult to ban us!
How do I consult my messages?
On the home page, you just fill the field and click on the "Go!" button. You have access to all the messages of the specified mailbox.
You can also access to it quickly:
http://mailboxable.net/<foobar>
(replace <foobar> with the name of the mailbox you want to consult).
Is it free?
Completly! The site survives thanks to the advertisement.
For how long are kept the messages?
Messages are kept for at least 7 (seven) days. The maximum time will vary depending on the server load.
Does the mailbox expire?
Never! As the mailboxes are don't realy exists, they never expires. When a message arrives, it is saved and is directly accessible.
Who can read my messages?
Everyone can have access to any mailbox and read any message. Since there is no
registration, no password, everyone that knows the name of an account can have
access to any message.
The more your name is long or complex, the more difficult it will be for everyone
to find it. The only advise you can tell you is do not use Mailboxable
for private messages!
Is it possible to send mail through Mailboxable?
No! Mailboxable only enables you to receive and read messages. You can neither answer nor send messages through Mailboxable.
