Temp Mail

Temp mail: a temporary email address, and what it is not

Temp mail is a temporary email address you use once and then forget: you paste it into a sign-up form, the verification code lands in the inbox on this page, and the address expires on its own. Nothing to install, nothing to register – the address at the top of this page is already yours.

It is a receive-only inbox. Temp mail here does not send, reply or forward, and it is not a way to write email under someone else’s name: that would be spoofing, and this service is built so that it cannot be used for it. Whatever a website sends you arrives; nothing leaves.

How temp mail works, in three steps

1. Copy the address. A temp mail address is generated the moment the page opens; the copy button puts it on your clipboard.
2. Paste it wherever an email is asked for. A sign-up form, a download gate, a free trial, a Wi-Fi portal – anywhere you would rather not leave your real address.
3. Read the message here. The inbox on this page refreshes by itself; the verification code or confirmation link shows up within seconds, and you open it right in the browser.

When you are done, delete the mailbox or let it expire. Either way the message never touches your personal inbox, and neither does the newsletter the site signs you up for afterwards. That is the point of temporary mail: the message is temporary, and so is the address it came to.

24-hour temp mail vs. a 10-minute inbox

Every temporary email on this site lives for 24 hours, and that is on purpose: a lot of verification does not happen in one sitting. The confirmation email arrives late, the download link is sent after a manual review, the trial asks you to confirm twice, or you simply step away for a coffee – an address that dies after ten minutes is gone by the time you are back, and the whole sign-up starts over.

With a full day, the address survives the pause. You can return to the same temp mail inbox in the afternoon, catch the second email of a two-step verification, or receive the follow-up a support desk sends an hour later. If you know you need only the next few minutes – one code, then nothing – the 10 Minute Mail page of this site is written for exactly that quick, one-code use.

Why some websites reject temp mail, and what to do about it

Some sites keep blocklists of domains known for disposable addresses and refuse them at the sign-up form, usually with a note like “please use a permanent email”. It is not personal: the list is bought or scraped, it is rarely up to date, and it blocks and misses domains at random.

That is why this free temporary email comes with several domains, not one. If a site rejects the address, open the domain picker, create a new address on a different domain and try again – a domain the blocklist has not seen yet goes through. New domains are added over time for the same reason, and the premium ones, used by fewer people and therefore on fewer lists, are part of the PRO plan.

Temp mail, tempmail, temp email or temporary mail?

Search for it any way you like – temp mail, tempmail in one word, temp email, temporary mail, temporary email or temp mailbox – and you are after the same thing: a throwaway address that receives mail for a while and then disappears. The spelling differs by habit and keyboard; the inbox at the top of this page is the answer to all of them. The neighbouring pages of this site are the same address seen from a different habit: Disposable Email is about keeping your main inbox clean of spam, Burner Email about identity – one address per site, so a leak points at whoever leaked it – and Throwaway Email about the single use: one form, one code, done. The Fake Email Generator on the home page is where all of them start.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is temp mail free?

Yes. Temp mail on this site is a free temporary email, with no registration and no card: open the page, copy the address, receive the email. Signing in is optional and keeps your addresses across devices; the PRO plan adds more active mailboxes, longer message retention and premium domains for people who need them every day.

2. How long does a temp mail address live?

24 hours from the moment it is created, and you can delete it earlier at any time. When the mailbox expires, the messages in it are deleted with it.

3. Can I get the same temp mail address again?

Yes. Your recent addresses are listed in the History on this page, and an expired or deleted one can be activated again from there – it comes back with a fresh 24 hours. Sign in if you want that history to follow you to another device or browser.

4. Why did a website reject my temp mail address?

Because its domain is on a blocklist of disposable email providers that the site checks at sign-up. Create a new address on another domain from the picker and try again; the lists are patchy, and a different domain usually passes.

5. Temp mail or 10 minute mail: which one do I need?

Both are receive-only throwaway addresses; the difference is how long you want to keep it. Temp mail here lasts 24 hours, which covers delayed confirmations, two-step verifications and coming back later. If one code in the next minute is all you need, the 10 Minute Mail page is the short version of the same tool.

6. Is temp mail anonymous?

No account, no name, no phone number and no real email are asked for, and the address itself says nothing about you. It keeps your real address out of other people’s databases; it is not an anonymity tool in the sense of a VPN, and the site you sign up to still sees whatever you type into its form.

7. Does temp mail receive attachments?

Yes. Attachments arrive with the message and can be downloaded from the open message, within the size limit of the mailbox. Verification emails are almost always small; a very large file may be cut off by that limit.

8. Can I have several temp mail addresses at once?

Yes. Create as many as your plan allows and switch between them from the address selector; each has its own inbox and its own 24 hours. One address per site is a good habit: if one of them starts getting spam, you know who leaked it, and you delete just that one.
