How do I go about getting a temporary email address?

Go to yahoo.com, google.com, hotmail.com or any other web-based e-mail provider and create an e-mail account. If you need an invitation to join g-mail, send me your e-mail address via comment, and I will send you an invite to create a new gmail account.

go for gmail, best email service ive ever used.

For actual temporary/disposable email addresses, try checking out some of the following services as identified at lifehacker:

Guerrillamail.com
10minutemail.com
2prong.com
mailinator.com

I’d suggest getting a gmail account… you can set it up to forward to your yahoo account.

On Firefox, install one of the many plug-ins that allows for the instant insertion of a disposable email address from many of the sites freerangemonkey mentioned above
