Sometimes, it seems like every website you visit wants you to sign up for a "free" account, which usually consists of giving them at least your name, email address, and zip code. However, that "free" email account simply allows the website to aggregate a large amount of information and use it to spam you themselves or to sell it to other spammers. And despite the spam filters present in most email accounts, you can be assured that a few will manage to sneak through to your regular inbox.
Melt Mail can help solve this problem. It allows you to create a temporary email address that will forward mail to your current address for a period of time. This allows you to get a receipt for an online purchase or obtain a confirmation email for the account you set up. Then, after the period of time you designate (three, six, twelve, or twenty-four hours), the account goes inactive and any further emails will bounce back.
Melt Mail apps are also available for iPhone and Android.
