Disposable Email Address in Yahoo

Some times you may not be interested to share your real Email Address due to the fear of spam or some thing else. In such a case disposable Email ID is a nice solution to the problem. In this type of service you will get an email ID and you can use it as your normal email ID as long as you are sure that you are not spammed.

Of late every site is asking for our email address so that they can send updates directly to our inbox. But majority of them are just spamming us or promoting their business via our email which is not desirable at all. So never share your important mail ID with any site on the internet.
Just create a temporary mail ID to handle the spammers. Whenever you thinks that there is no need of it you can just delete it. Yahoo supports this type of email address. You can add up to 500 disposable email addresses in Yahoo.
How to set disposable Email ID in Yahoo?
Here is the procedure for Yahoo All new Mail (also applies to yahoo classic mail).
Log in into your Yahoo account and click on “Options” (appears at right hand side corner below the web Search) and select “More options”  you will get a new page.
On this page click on “Disposable email address” and then click on “Add new address”, follow the wizard, the new ID will appear in the list. Whenever you want to delete the ID just select the ID and remove it.
The procedure is cool and it will not take much time.
