I'm still contemplating moving from Yahoo Mail to Gmail (Google's new calendar is a big reason, along with the "threaded" mail message view in gmail). However, one of the things that I'll miss the most about Yahoo Mail is the disposable addresses I have (via a paid account).

I remember the hacks about adding "+whatever" to the end of your gmail account and it will still get to your account. Not the greatest solution, since your "real" address is still in plain sight, but could be good for automated lists, signups, etc.

Anyway - a quick google search tonight shows this article, which lists some sites whos sole purpose is dishing out one-time (many times read-only) addresses.
