In this article, I will present you a brief comparison of my top 4 temporary email providers.

When testing email server or for creating account, you always need at least 4 mail accounts:

  • one for the original account because you don’t want to use your personnal email
  • two for the second account for checking lateral priv
  • tree for the priviledge account
  • four for checking the priviledge account priv and why not even more !

TLDR; Ranking

All the email providers showcased need JS.

  1. https://dropmail.me
  2. https://www.trash-mail.com
  3. https://www.guerrillamail.com
  4. https://maildrop.cc

Assessment criterion

Therefore, the selection is based on the following requirements:

  1. Ease to create email box
  2. Ease of use and reuse
  3. Reliable / Fast
  4. Nice css would be a plus

Dropmail.me

https://dropmail.me

This is my favorite. It has a nice UI. It is fast and clear. Have a tons of domains.

You can extend on assigned domain as follow:

mlzaekrk.whatever@whatever.emlpro.com
mlzaekrk.whatever1@3whatever.emlpro.com
mlzaekrk.whatever2@2whatever.emlpro.com
mlzaekrk.whatever3@1whatever.emlpro.com

You can add domains at will:

  • It has no time limit, it dies when you close the browser or refresh (careful)
  • It has to option to forward all input to other email address.
  • It can alert you with notification with or without sound, viber or telegram.
  • It handles mail attachments
  • Nobody can recover your previous mail box except you if you choose to thanks to the generated password.
  • You can recover all inbox but not the mail previously received.
  • The site is available in lots of language.

Trash-mail.com

Trash-mail is an alternative to dropmail.me.

You have to generate the user account on your own. It offers a plus, because you can send mail.

Guerrillamail.com

Ugly, old but has almost the same features as both previous.

Maildrop.cc

The simpliest. When security is none of your concern, you can use maildrop.cc or equivalent. This an open malbox without password and that can be recover by anyone.

https://temp-mail.org/ is similar and has a qrcode feature ¯\(ツ)/¯.


Conclusion

Dropmail is the hoyl grail. If it goes down,a good backup solution is trash-mail.com.
