01Can temp mail receive verification codes?
Yes. Sign-up codes and confirmation links from the vast majority of sites arrive normally, usually within seconds. A few sites block known temp-mail domains — switch to a long-lived anonymous alias there, since aliases forward through regular domains that no blocklist contains.
02How long does a disposable email address last, and what happens to the mail?
Seven days. On expiry the inbox and every message in it are destroyed, no copy stays on our servers, and nothing can be recovered. If a message matters, forward it to your own mailbox before the clock runs out.
03Can I generate temp mail addresses in bulk?
Members can. Open a whole batch at once and create as many as you need — useful for sign-up regression tests, bulk form data, or giving each marketing channel its own address so you can see which one leaks. Free users claim one at a time.
04What is the difference between free temp mail and membership?
Free gives you a disposable address whenever you want one: 7 days, codes included, enough for a single sign-up. Membership adds bulk generation with no cap on how many, several inboxes held at once, and the option to promote an address into a long-lived alias.
05Do I need to sign up, or give a phone number?
Neither. Disposable inboxes need no account and no phone number — the page hands you one. An account is only required to manage long-lived aliases and forwarding targets, and signing up for that takes just an email address.
06Can I send mail from a temp mail address?
No. Disposable inboxes are built for receiving only. If you need an address that can also send, an anonymous email alias is the better fit — it stays valid, forwards into the mailbox you already use, and can send under the alias from the console.
07What does a temp mail address look like, and can I choose it?
Addresses look like [email protected], with a random prefix so they cannot collide or be guessed. Each claim gets a fresh prefix on the free plan; if you need to choose the prefix yourself, a long-lived alias or a catch-all on your own domain is the better fit.
08Can anyone else read my temp mail?
Each disposable inbox belongs to the browser session that claimed it — it is not a public inbox, so nobody can read your mail by guessing the address. On expiry the whole inbox is destroyed and no copy stays on our servers.
09My temp mail is not receiving anything — what now?
Wait a few seconds and refresh; almost all verification mail lands within seconds. If nothing ever arrives, the site has most likely blocked known temp-mail domains — switch to a long-lived alias there, since aliases forward through regular domains that no blocklist contains.
