Free Temporary Email – Your Disposable Inbox Is Ready
The address above is yours right now. Use it to sign up, download, or confirm something without handing over your real email. Messages arrive in seconds, and the whole inbox deletes itself after one hour – or extend it, up to four hours.
What is temp mail?
Temp mail (also called a disposable, throwaway or burner email) is a real, working email address that only exists for a short time. You can receive messages on it like any other inbox, but it isn't linked to your name, your phone number, or your personal email account.
Most websites ask for an email address before you can read an article, grab a coupon, try an app, or join a Wi-Fi network. Many of those sites then send newsletters for years, share your address with partners, or lose it in a data breach. A temporary address lets you get what you came for while keeping your real inbox out of their mailing lists.
How to use TempMaily
- Copy your address. A random address like
k9xq2m@eee.bestork9xq2m@1due.comis created as soon as you open the page. Press Copy, or choose a Custom name you can remember. - Paste it where you need it. Use it on the sign-up form, download page or verification screen.
- Watch the inbox. New mail appears automatically – the inbox refreshes every five seconds. Click a message to read it, then copy the code or click the confirmation link.
- Walk away. After one hour the address and every message in it are permanently deleted. Need more time? Press Extend time (up to three extra hours). Need another address? Press Generate new.
When a disposable email makes sense
- Signing up for a free trial, webinar or one-time download
- Getting a discount code without joining a newsletter forever
- Testing your own app's sign-up and email flows
- Posting on a forum or comment section you'll only visit once
- Public Wi-Fi portals and online shops you don't trust yet
…and when it doesn't
Don't use a temporary address for anything you'll need to log back into: banking, government services, your main social accounts, work tools, or purchases you might need to return. Once the hour is up you can't receive password resets or receipts on that address, and nobody – including us – can recover the mail.
Built for privacy
Gone in an hour
Your address and every message in it are deleted after one hour (up to four if you extend it). No archives, no backups of your mail.
Only you can open it
Your inbox is tied to a secret key stored in your browser. Knowing or guessing an address doesn't let anyone read its mail.
Locked-down viewer
Emails are cleaned and shown in an isolated viewer. Scripts never run, attachments are removed, and one click hides remote images, which are often used for tracking.
No sign-up, no sending
There's no account and no password. The service only receives mail – it can't be used to send spam or impersonate anyone.
Frequently asked questions
What is a temporary email address?
It’s a real email address that works for a short time and then disappears. You can receive messages on it – sign-up confirmations, verification codes, download links – without giving out your personal address. On TempMaily, each address lasts one hour, and you can extend it up to four hours.
How long do my address and messages last?
Your address is active for one hour from the moment it’s created; the countdown in the inbox shows the time left. Press Extend time to add another hour – up to three times, so four hours at most. Messages stay as long as the address does, and when it expires everything in it is deleted at once. Deleted mail can’t be recovered by anyone, including us.
Can someone else read my inbox?
Not without your secret key. When your inbox is created, your browser receives a long random key that’s stored in a secure cookie. The inbox can only be opened with that key, so knowing or guessing your address isn’t enough to read its mail. The only way to give someone access is Share inbox, which shows a link and a QR code – anyone who has either can read the inbox, so only share them with people you trust.
Is TempMaily free?
Yes. There’s no account, no sign-up and no payment. The service is supported by advertising on our content pages – never inside your inbox or next to your messages.
Can I send emails or reply from TempMaily?
No. TempMaily is receive-only by design. That keeps the service from being used to send spam and means nobody can send mail that appears to come from your temporary address.
