Guerrilla Mail provides you with disposable e-mail addresses which expire after 15 minutes.

As Wikipedia states:

Disposable e-mail addressing (DEA) refers to an alternative way of sharing and managing e-mail addressing. DEA aims to set up a new, unique e-mail address for every contact or entity, making a point-to-point connection between the sender and the recipient. Subsequently, if anyone compromises the address or utilises it in connection with any e-mail abuse, the address-owner can easily cancel (or “dispose” of it) without affecting any other contact. Following the cancellation or replacement of a disposable e-mail address, the (ex-)owner need notify no more than one person/contact of the change. An example DEA might be ContactName@YourName.Provider.com.

You can also read and reply to emails that are sent to the e-mail ID within this time frame.

On the homepage, once you click on the “Get temporary e-mail” link, you are provided with a randomly chosen e-mail ID @ guerrillamail.net. You cannot chose your own e-mail ID though.

The e-mail ID, as they say is valid for 15 minutes only. In case you feel that the mail you were expecting will take more time to arrive, then you can extend the period that it lasts. For example if the timer is at 3 minutes, when you click on the “Give me 15 more minutes” link the timer is reset to 15 mins. Remember, the timer is only reset, but 15 minutes are not added to the already existing 3 minutes.

There is a reload button, smack in the middle of the page which can be used to refresh the page and see if any new mails have arrived. You can only reply to a mail that has arrived and not send a new one of your own. No URIs are live, meaning unclickable. The received mails can be seen as text only.
