How to Create an Anonymous Email
Every time you purchase a product over the Internet, join an online forum or register for a service, you run the risk of exposing your email address to spammers. This could result in a lot of junk email and spam messages in your inbox. To reduce the amount of unwanted junk mail to your personal email address, you can create an anonymous email address. These anonymous, temporary email addresses can be created and used anytime you don't want to give out your email address.

Log onto the website of the anonymous service that you chose. Create your anonymous email address by following the anonymous email service registration process. Choose the expiration date for your anonymous email address. Some services require that you to enter your email address as part of your registration so it can forward the emails to your personal address, while other services don't require this because all emails are kept on its server for you to check. Select the "Generate" or "Create" button to create your new anonymous email address.
