Disposable
email account also known as a temporary email address is an email
account that you can create to fulfill a temporary need that may contain
potential risks. If the temporary email gets compromised in any way or
if it is abused by a third party, you can simply dispose of it to avoid
any problems.
If there is a site you want to join and it’s asking for your email account, if you want to avoid getting hundreds of spam mails in your real account every day, you can set up a temporary email to use in such situations. So when you use a disposable account to sign up for a particular website, you are using an alias of your real email account. Every such alias is made specifically for a single mailing list or site which then gets associated with the disposable email account. Due to this when you get spam in your mail, you will know exactly what its source was.
Overall
a temporary email is quite a boon that can protect your real account
and have it uncluttered. Of course this function shouldn’t be used for
any malicious purposes and should be used responsibly. With great power
comes great responsibility.
