Frequently Asked Questions

A Temporary Email, often called disposable email or throwaway mail, is an email address that is meant to be used for a short period of time. Unlike your personal email (like Gmail or Yahoo), it doesn't require registration and is automatically deleted after a set duration. It's perfect for signing up on websites where you don't want to receive spam or share your real identity.

Using a temporary email protects your primary inbox from spam, potential phishing attempts, and unwanted newsletters. When you register for a service using your real email, that address is often sold to marketers or leaked in data breaches. A temporary email acts as a shield, keeping your personal inbox clean and secure.

Your temporary email address is active for as long as you keep the browser tab open. The emails themselves are typically stored for up to 6 hours to allow you enough time to verify accounts or click links. After that, they are permanently erased from our servers for your privacy.

Generally, no. Once an email address expires or you generate a new one, the previous inbox is deleted and cannot be recovered. This is a deliberate security feature to ensure that your private communications don't linger on our servers. We recommend using temp mail only for non-critical verifications.

Yes. We do not ask for your name, phone number, or real email address. We do not track your personal identity. Your IP address is only used for basic security logs (to prevent abuse) and is not linked to your email content in a way that compromises your anonymity.

Currently, our service is optimized for receiving emails only. Sending emails from temporary addresses is often associated with spam and abuse, so we disable this feature to maintain the high reputation of our domains and ensure your received emails land in the inbox, not spam folders.
