TempMail FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything people ask about temporary email, answered plainly.
Common temp mail questions
What is a temporary email address?
A temporary email address is a free disposable inbox you can use to sign up for websites and apps without giving your real email address. It receives real emails — including verification codes — and is deleted automatically after a short time.
Do I need to register to use TempMail?
No. Your address is created instantly when you open the page. No name, no password, no sign-up.
Can I receive verification codes with a temporary email?
Yes. Most sign-up and verification emails arrive in the inbox within seconds, and you can read them right here.
Can I choose my own address name?
Yes. Type a name in the “Choose your own name” box and click Change Address. If the name is already taken, try another one. Choosing your own name is free.
Is TempMail free?
Yes, TempMail is 100% free. There is no paid plan and no limit on how many addresses you create.
How long does a temporary address last?
Your address stays active while you keep using it. Addresses and messages are deleted automatically after a short time, so never use a temporary address for banking, passwords or anything you cannot afford to lose.
Can I send emails from my temporary address?
No. TempMail only receives emails. It is made for sign-ups, confirmations and verification codes.
Is temp mail safe?
A temporary address protects your real inbox from spam and from leaks if a website is hacked. But anyone who knows the address can open its inbox, so never use it for banking, passwords or private information.
Why do some websites block temp mail?
Some websites block disposable email domains to stop fake accounts and abuse. If a site refuses your temporary address, that is the site's own rule — try signing up with your real email instead.
Can I use temp mail for Facebook or Instagram signup?
A temporary address is best for newsletters, trials and sign-ups where a lasting inbox is not needed. Social media platforms often require a real, lasting email address, and many detect and block disposable domains — in that case you will need a real email address.
Which email providers and domains can I choose?
You can pick an address on Mail.tm (fldubai.com), GuerrillaMail (guerrillamailblock.com) or TempMail Plus (tempmail.plus, fextemp.com, fexpost.com, fexbox.org, mailto.plus, rover.info and merepost.com). Use the provider menu above your address. Every provider is free — if one is down, it shows as unavailable and you can pick another.
