What is a Temporary Email?

Temporary email, refers to a temporary email address that can receive emails, also known as disposable email, 24-hour email, 10-minute email, throwaway email, which is completely anonymous and secure.

Have you encountered websites/blogs/forums that require registration to view content? But you're unlikely to return to these websites/blogs/forums later. If you register with your real email address, you may frequently receive spam emails and advertising emails in the future. At the same time, is the registration website secure? Is there a possibility that registration information might be leaked? In such cases, we recommend using temporary email. Temporary email can also receive emails, but unlike personal email, temporary email is completely free and anonymous. Using temporary email can help avoid leaking your information, receiving too many advertising emails and spam, and avoid being tracked.

How to use temporary email?

It's very simple. When you open this page, we have already generated an active email address for you. This email address starts receiving emails from this moment and belongs exclusively to you from now on. You can use this email address to receive emails.

In the dropdown menu at the top, we provide various domain names as email suffixes, including com, net, org and other domain suffixes. You can choose your favorite by simply clicking on the corresponding domain.

Additionally, when you close the current webpage and reopen it within 24 hours, you will see the domain initially generated for you. This is to help you retrieve some needed emails in the short term. Beyond this time, recovery is not possible, as most people don't need this email address long-term. We always focus on your privacy and security - except for short-term necessary cookies, we do not save any other records.

Our servers are constantly receiving emails. Usually, 2-3 seconds after other email addresses send emails, we can display the emails on the current webpage. You don't need to do anything to quickly see the emails received by your email address. This process only takes a few seconds and requires no action from you, which is much simpler than using your personal email.

Features of temporary email:

2. Destroy anytime: When you finish using the temporary email, click the "New Mailbox" button, and a new temporary email will be generated immediately, while the old temporary email is destroyed.
3. Avoid being tracked: Your personal email can be tracked. If you use your personal email extensively, you will leave many usage traces online, which may lead to information leakage.

In what scenarios can temporary email be used?

1. When you have to register on untrustworthy websites, you should use temporary email to avoid receiving a large amount of advertising emails and spam.
2. Privacy protection: Sometimes you may need to participate in one-time online surveys or join temporary group discussions. Using temporary email can help protect your personal identity information.
3. Product testing: Developers can use temporary email instead of real email addresses for product testing. This way, they can test email functionality without disturbing real users.
4. As your alter ego: When using websites like dating, AI, etc., you may need an alter ego where no one knows the real identity behind it. Using temporary email is appropriate in such cases.

What are the risks of using temporary email?

Temporary email has advantages, so it naturally has its disadvantages.

1. Reliability issues: Temporary email is only suitable for short-term, unimportant tasks. If you have long-term or important affairs, we do not recommend using temporary email, such as long-term communication or transferring important files.
2. You may waste some time because some websites may refuse registration from temporary email addresses.

In summary, with the development of the Internet, data breach incidents are becoming more frequent, and privacy protection is receiving increasing attention. Temporary email is becoming more popular due to its unique advantages. You should get used to using temporary email in addition to traditional personal email.
