FAQ
What is a temporary email address?
A temporary (disposable) email address is a short-lived inbox you can use without creating an account. The default lifetime is 10 minutes and can be extended; after expiry, the inbox is no longer accessible through the site. It's meant for one-off tasks where you don't want to give out your personal address.
Is this temp mail service really free?
Yes. Every address on free-temporary-email.com is free, with no premium tier and no credit card. Opening the page is all it takes to get a working inbox.
Do I need to register or set a password?
No. There is no account and no password — your browser session is what links you to the inbox. This also means the address isn't protected: anyone who knows the exact address could read its mail, so don't use it for anything sensitive.
How long does an address last?
10 minutes by default. Hit “Extend 10 min” as often as you need, or discard the address early. After expiry, the inbox and its messages are unavailable through the site and cannot be restored there. Separate operational records may remain; see the privacy policy.
Can I receive attachments and images?
Supported incoming mail and attachments can be viewed or downloaded while the inbox is active. After expiry, the inbox is no longer accessible through the site; see the privacy policy for separate service records.
Can I reply to received mail?
No. The live service currently supports receiving mail only. Sending and replying are unavailable; the interface reports whether sending is enabled.
Is temporary email safe?
It can keep one-off sign-ups and their follow-up mail separate from your personal inbox, but it does not make you anonymous to the site you visit. The inbox has no password, and an expired address cannot be recovered. Avoid sensitive messages and accounts you may need later.
Is using a temp mail address legal?
The legal answer depends on your jurisdiction and how you use the address. A website's signup terms also apply. Do not use a temporary address for fraud, impersonation, harassment or other unlawful conduct. This is general information, not legal advice.
Why did a website reject my temporary address?
A rejection does not identify the exact check the site used. It may apply a disposable-domain list or another signup rule. Follow the site's requirements, use an address it accepts, or contact its support if you think the rejection is mistaken; do not switch domains to bypass an explicit restriction.
Can I use temp mail for social media, banking, or password recovery?
Avoid using a temporary address for accounts you plan to keep. After expiry, you cannot receive password-reset mail at that inbox; the platform may offer other recovery steps, but they are not guaranteed.
What happens to my mail when the address expires?
After expiry, the inbox and its messages are unavailable through the site and cannot be restored there. Separate operational records may remain; save anything you need before the countdown ends and see the privacy policy for details.
Can I pick a custom address name or domain?
Yes. Use the “Custom” button to choose your own name (3–20 characters: letters, numbers and . _ -), as long as it isn't taken. The domain button cycles through the receiving domains this site currently offers.
