Nowadays email is one of the most important communication tools. It is used for workspaces, registrations and social networks. Almost everyone who uses the Internet has an email address. However, what to do if you need a one-time address? As for example in case of a need to check the registration and authorization forms or simply send letters.

Let us look closely at what a dummy email is. It also can be called as a one-time email. It helps to sign up on any service, avoiding spamming and never ending ads and annoying bots or hacks. Also, by creating a dummy mail, you don’t need to register or share some of your personal data, the anonymity is preserved, the letters arrive fast and data is deleted after deleting a dummy email.
