Frequently Asked Questions
What is a temporary (disposable) email address?
A temporary email address is a short-lived mailbox you can use for signups, testing, or one-off communication. It helps protect your primary email from spam.
Is my data private and secure?
We store messages temporarily and do not require registration for disposable inboxes. Avoid sending sensitive personal information to temporary addresses.
Can I recover accounts created with a temporary email?

How long do emails stay in the inbox?
Retention varies by plan and configuration. By default, emails stay for 10 minutes. Check the plan details or our documentation for specific retention windows.
