WHY TEMP MAIL?
Useful when you need an address, not another permanent inbox.
Temporary email has a practical role, but it also has limitations. We explain both so you can use it with the right expectations.
✉
Keep your personal inbox cleaner
Separate one-time newsletters, trials and short-lived notifications from important communication.
⌛
Short-lived by design
A temporary mailbox is not a replacement for a permanent email account. Messages can expire.
!
Know its limits
Do not rely on temporary email for banking, recovery, legal notices or anything you may need later.
HOW IT WORKS
Three simple steps
01
Create an address
Choose a random or custom address. Your current inbox stays available on this homepage while the mailbox is active.
02
Use it for a short task
Receive low-risk messages in the temporary inbox while the mailbox is active.
03
Read and let it expire
Messages follow the published retention period and are removed after expiry.
