Harakirimail

What Harakirimail is

Harakirimail provides disposable email addresses for messages you would rather not receive in your personal inbox. Enter an inbox name at harakirimail.com to view the incoming email stored for it. Inboxes and their messages are removed after 24 hours, and all inboxes are public: anyone who finds an inbox can read what it contains. There is no inbox protection, so the service is suited to messages that do not need privacy. Harakirimail is available on the web and through an iOS app, with browser extensions listed for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari to generate addresses. The Firefox add-on can insert an address from the right-click menu and open its inbox in a background tab. Harakirimail says its site is always served over SSL and that it keeps logs briefly to address problems. Its Free plan costs nothing. The site also links to Harakirimail’s blog and lists its Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Who it suits

Harakirimail suits people who want a short-lived address for incoming messages they do not want in their personal inbox. It is best for email that can be public, since anyone who finds an inbox can read it.

Limits

The Free plan costs nothing. Inboxes and stored email disappear after 24 hours, and all inboxes are public.

Getting started

1. Open harakirimail.com and enter an inbox name to view its email.
2. Use the iOS app to access inboxes on mobile.
3. Install a listed Firefox, Chrome, or Safari extension to generate addresses.
4. In Firefox, use the right-click menu to insert an address and open its inbox in a background tab.

Verdict

Choose Harakirimail for disposable email that can be read publicly and only needs to remain available for a day. Look elsewhere for inbox privacy or longer retention.
