Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our temporary email service and how to use it effectively

It’s safe for low-stakes jobs like signups, downloads and one-time codes, because it keeps your real address away from sites you don’t trust. Don’t put anything sensitive in it. Most temporary inboxes aren’t encrypted, and a competitor’s help page notes that anyone who knows the exact address may be able to open the inbox. Treat every message as readable by strangers.

A timed inbox lasts exactly as long as its timer: 5, 10, 20, 30 or 60 minutes. The address on the home page has no countdown and stays usable in the same browser while you keep using it. Messages disappear after 7 days, whatever the address type.

No law bans disposable addresses, so using one is generally legal. It becomes illegal when you use it for crimes such as scams, harassment or impersonation, and the email isn’t the problem in those cases. Some websites ban disposable domains in their terms and can suspend an account that uses one. That is a site policy, not a legal issue. This is general information, not legal advice.

Absolutely! Temporary email addresses support receiving attachments. You can securely download files sent to your temp email.

Yes, for most sign-up confirmations. Paste the address into the form and the code usually arrives within seconds, by our own page text 5 to 20 seconds. Some sites block disposable domains and never send the code. Try another domain, and don’t use temp mail for two-factor authentication or any account you want to keep.

The most common cause is that the site blocks known throwaway domains. Other causes are delayed delivery, rate limits from resending too often, and typos. Wait two minutes, switch to another domain, request the email once, and avoid repeated resends.

Open History to see the addresses you have used recently and switch back to one. The free plan keeps a short list and paid plans keep more. If you delete an address, or its timer already ended, you cannot get it back, so copy anything you need before it runs out.

Temp mail receives messages and is thrown away, so you can’t reply or recover the account. An alias forwards to your real inbox and stays active until you turn it off. Use temp mail for one-off downloads and trials. Use an alias for any account you’ll keep.

No. TempMail.pw is receive-only. Sending is switched off so nobody can use the service to send spam.
