Frequently Asked Questions

A Temporary Disposable Email is a special email address that you can use for a short time to receive messages without revealing your personal or work email. You don’t need to sign up or provide any personal information—these emails are created instantly and ready to use.

People often call it "tempmail," "10-minute mail," "throwaway email," or "fake email." It is widely used when you want to register on websites, download files, subscribe to newsletters, or test online services without sharing your real inbox.

Temporary disposable emails are ideal for short-term needs. They are usually available only for a few minutes or hours, and anyone who knows the email link could potentially access messages while active. Therefore, avoid using them for important accounts such as banking, work, or services that require long-term communication.

In summary, temporary disposable emails help you protect your privacy, avoid spam in your personal inbox, and quickly receive verification codes, activation links, or download files without committing your real email address.

No registration or account creation is required. A temporary email is generated instantly when you visit the site.

This makes it simple for beginners or anyone who wants to protect their privacy without managing passwords or accounts.

Temporary email addresses last for a short period, usually minutes to hours, depending on activity. Inactive emails are automatically deleted.
