What is temporary email used for
Temporary email should be seen as a disposable resource. Email addresses have a limited lifespan, with messages typically stored for just a few minutes or up to a week. After this period, the content is completely deleted, along with the randomly generated address provided by the service.
Considering the way temporary email operates, it is easy to understand that it can be used in situations where you need to quickly activate an account or receive an email on a disposable email and then forget about it. Creating profiles on social media or other services using this email doesn't make sense because it won't be possible to recover access to them in the future.

Creating profiles on social media or other services using this email doesn't make sense because it won't be possible to recover access to them in the future.
The only way to save emails is to forward them to your primary mailbox, where there are no time restrictions. Many websites use this method to receive emails and then send them to Gmail or other popular services.
Some temporary email boxes can be made infinite by purchasing a paid subscription. Many services offer this option - after subscribing, you gain access to linking your own domains, disabling ads, and unlocking other hidden features.
If the task is to obtain an email address without providing personal information, you can use the popular service Protonmail. However, it's worth noting that it is under sanctions from 'Roskomnadzor,' and accessing the site without an active VPN is unlikely to be successful.

What tasks can temporary email be used for
Using temporary email serves several purposes:
The unique feature of temporary email is that it creates a secure environment that shields the user from unwanted emails. You generate email addresses with a single click, use them for the necessary services, receive activation codes or other information, and then forget about the issue.
While some services do not impose time limits on email storage, it's not advisable to rely heavily on this offer. Email platforms are designed for premium subscriptions and are unlikely to provide indefinite storage.
- Account Creation: If you plan to use accounts briefly and then forget about them, you can use temporary email to receive activation emails and set up profiles.
- Anonymity: Digital footprints can be used to track a user's online activity and access their social media profiles. A disposable email address eliminates this concern.
- Spam Protection: If you purchase accounts from stores, subscribe to newsletters, or provide your contact email somewhere, service providers may inundate you with promotional emails in the future.
- Data Forwarding: Some services allow you not only to receive emails but also to send them. You can receive important information on a 'placeholder' email and then forward the email to your primary inbox.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
- Time-saving: Most services generate an email address randomly, and it's ready for use within seconds.
- Anonymity: No need to provide your full name, answer security questions, or provide a phone number.
- Spam Protection: Emails won't reach the recipient because the address ceases to exist.
- Multi-Accounts: Some services allow you to create 10-20 email addresses and switch between them with a single click.
- Free Access: You don't need to pay for basic features; you'll only need to open your wallet if you purchase a premium plan.
- Variety of Domains: You can create email addresses on all available domains.
- Data Cleansing: Disposable email services promise to erase the user's activity history from their servers.
- PIN Protection: To prevent other users from accessing your email, you can protect it with a password."
Disadvantages:
- Reuse: Email addresses are not exclusive, so there is a chance that the address may end up in the hands of someone else. Given the popularity of temporary email among arbitrators, there is a possibility that a competitor could become the owner of the mailbox.
- Domain Blocking: Many platforms blacklist domains of temporary email services.
- Restrictions from Roskomnadzor (RKN): The regulatory authority regularly blocks access to popular services. Therefore, sometimes you have to use a VPN or switch to another platform.
- Inability to Extend Lifespan: Not all services allow you to extend the email storage duration.
In conclusion, to ensure the functionality of the services, we sent test emails to each created mailbox. Therefore, all the mentioned platforms work at the time of article publication, making them suitable for the needs of money-makers.

Owners of various services used by arbitrage professionals for their work are interested in collecting a database of real email addresses. That's why they regularly add temporary email domains to their blacklists - it's not possible to create profiles with such addresses.
Several services come to the rescue, which allow you to create temporary email addresses based on Gmail. These are SMAIL PRO and Gmailnator. The first generates mailboxes like email@googlemail.com, while the second provides an address on the @gmail.com domain.

Temporary email services come in handy for arbitrage specialists in situations where they need to quickly receive an email or generate 10-20 mailboxes for account creation. Some platforms are blocked by 'Roskomnadzor' or advertising networks, but these restrictions can be bypassed.
