Temporary email — frequently asked questions
What is a temporary email address?
A temporary email address (also called a disposable email, throwaway email, or burner email) is an inbox you can use once or twice and then forget about. It lets you sign up for sites, download gated content, or test your own app without exposing your real address or inviting spam into your main inbox.
Is MailTempo really free?
Yes. MailTempo is completely free to use. There are no accounts, no paid tiers, no credit card, and no usage limits beyond reasonable rate limits to prevent abuse.
Do I need to sign up or register an account?
No. MailTempo requires no signup, no password, and no personal information. Just type any address you like, or click Random address, and your inbox is ready.
How long does a disposable email address last?
Messages stay available for 60 days, which is much longer than typical 10-minute mail services. Any address on a supported domain works forever — whenever a message arrives, the inbox is instantly available to read.
How fast does email arrive?
Most messages land in the inbox within a minute of being sent. MailTempo syncs every 60 seconds from the underlying Gmail catchall mailbox.
Is it safe to use a temporary email?
MailTempo sanitizes all incoming HTML server-side with DOMPurify, renders messages inside a sandboxed iframe, strips scripts, and blocks remote images by default so trackers can't phone home. Never use a disposable inbox for banking, government, or any account you care about — anyone who knows the address can read it.
Can I use MailTempo to verify signups and receive confirmation codes?
Yes. Temporary email is ideal for one-time verification codes, newsletter signups, free trials, download links, forum registrations, and any other situation where you don't want to hand over your primary address.
Can other people read my temporary inbox?
Yes — MailTempo inboxes are public by design. Anyone who guesses or knows the address can read its contents. Pick a long, random local-part (or use the Random address button) if you want practical privacy.
How is this different from 10 minute mail?
Classic 10-minute mail services destroy the inbox on a short timer. MailTempo keeps 60 days of history on any address you choose, so you can come back later for delayed receipts, password resets, or account confirmations without losing the mail.
