The undeniable advantages that are linked to the use of a temporary email have led over the years to the formation of sites and online platforms specialized in offering this particular type of mailboxes. We have defined them as temporary because their duration is often linked to a predetermined time before the start of the destruction process, which can last from a few minutes to a few days. We can define it as a disposable service, which in this case does not affect sustainability but is aimed only at protecting the privacy of users that over the years seems to be increasingly at risk, especially on the net. We can consider the temporary email as a replacement address, moved to safeguard the security of the data of internet users who are constantly tested in the arduous challenge of recognizing a reliable service from one instead for the sole purpose of scam. In this article we will illustrate some of the most used email services currently online, going to analyze the respective features that they offer users.
