Here’s a new, simplified workflow that will let you use Gmail itself as a disposable email service provider.

You’ll have just one temporary email address to remember and every time your share that email on the Internet, you attach an expiry date. Any email messages sent to your disposable Gmail account after the expiry date are discarded automatically else they are forwarded to your main account.

Let’s say your temporary email address is [email protected]. A website form requires your email address so you can put [email protected] in the sign-up field where mmdd is the month and date till when that disposable email will stay valid.

For instance, if you specify the email address as [email protected] - that alias will be valid until June 23 and any emails sent to that alias after that date are ignored else they are forwarded to your main Gmail address. You can only specify the year in your temporary email [email protected] in mmddyyyy format.

need to use bulk emails.
 
Sites aren't able to detect these? I know alot of social sites began to crack down on the dot trick couple years ago. They would allow the accounts to be created, and later link them all and either ban them or hit them with verification requests. :(
 
It might not be clear to some that this doesn't work automatically. You need to add a script to your Gmail account. The link at the end of OP's post has the details.
 
New trick? this is very old method from over 10 years now and i thought Gmail had patched it. However i hardly used it. You can use it to sign up for websites without having to keep creating new accounts.

The thread starter post is about how to make a temporary Gmail address, which is hardly a 10 year old method.

It's not about the dot or plus sign trick, which can turn a single address into many. That is indeed a decade old method.
