What Is TempMail.now and How Does It Work?
TempMail.now is a free temp mail service. It gives you a working inbox in one click. You do not sign up. You do not share your name. You just open the page and start using the address.
The inbox lasts for the timer window. When it expires, browser access closes and you should not expect to recover its messages; server-side records are removed later by scheduled cleanup under the retention policy. It is a fast way to try a disposable email without any setup.
How temp mail works, step by step
The whole flow takes seconds. Here is how you use it from start to finish.
- Open TempMail.now. A random address shows up right away.
- Copy the address and paste it into any sign-up form.
- Watch the inbox. New mail arrives on its own.
- Grab the code or link inside the message.
- Let the address expire. Browser access closes and scheduled cleanup follows.
What makes it handy
You get a clean inbox with zero setup. That is perfect for quick tasks like a free trial or a one-time download.
- Free to use, with no sign-up
- A random address in one click
- Gets codes, links, and files
- Clears itself when the timer ends
How Long Do Temporary Emails Last?
A temp mail address is accessible for the duration you choose when creating it, from 5 to 30 minutes. The clock starts immediately and does not reset with use. At expiry, browser access ends and scheduled backend cleanup removes the records later.
Need more time? Just make a new address. If you want a set window, try our 10 minute mail for a quick, short task. What is stored and when it is deleted is on how we handle your data.
Can I Receive Verification Codes and Attachments?
Yes. Temp mail is great for codes and links. The inbox reads plain text and HTML. It also opens common files like images, PDFs, and ZIP files. So you can verify an account on most sites, forums, or apps.
One thing to note: Very large files may be cut short. But for normal codes and small files, it works well. This is a simple way to avoid spam and still get the message you need.
Is TempMail.now Anonymous and Safe?
TempMail.now asks for no account, name, phone number, or permanent email address. That keeps your real inbox hidden from the destination site, but cookies, other details, and normal network logs may still connect activity. Read our anonymous email guide for the exact limits.
Use temp mail with care, though. Do not use it for a bank or a government login. For those, keep a permanent email with a strong password. But for daily sign-ups and less spam, temp mail is safe and quick.
Can I Send Emails or Use a Custom Domain?
No to both. TempMail.now is receive-only, so you cannot send from a temp address, and custom domains are not offered. The site picks a domain for you from its own pool, and Change Email gives you a fresh address, often on a different domain. See temp mail domains for how the pool works.
You do not need to delete an address. Just leave it and let it expire on its own. Want a fresh start now? Reload the page for a brand-new address in one click.
Frequently asked questions
What is a temp mail and how does it work?

Yes, TempMail.now is completely free. There is no charge for generating temporary addresses, receiving emails, or using any feature. We do not require payment or subscriptions.
Do I need to sign up to use TempMail.now?
No signup is required. You can start using TempMail.now immediately without providing a name, phone number, permanent email address, or password. Ordinary technical and security records still follow the privacy policy.
How long does a temporary email address last?

Does TempMail.now support attachments?
Yes, TempMail.now supports common attachment types such as images, PDFs, and documents. However, very large files may not be fully processed. For standard verification attachments, it works well.

No, TempMail.now does not support sending emails. It is a receive-only service. If you need to send an email, you will need to use a different email provider.
Is using a temporary email anonymous?
TempMail.now does not require an account, name, phone number, or permanent email address. It hides your real inbox from the destination site, but cookies and normal network or security logs may still contain technical data, so it does not provide complete anonymity.

How do I delete my temporary email address?
You do not need to manually delete a temporary email address. Browser access expires when the timer you picked, from 5 to 30 minutes, runs out; server-side records are removed later by scheduled cleanup. You can generate a new address immediately if you want to discard the current session.
Is it safe to use TempMail.now for sensitive accounts?
TempMail.now can be appropriate for low-risk sign-ups and keeping promotional mail away from your permanent inbox. Do not use it for banking, government services, sensitive data, or any account you may need to recover.
What happens when my temp mail expires?
When your temp mail expires, browser access ends and the session moves to a new address. You can no longer rely on receiving or recovering messages through the old inbox. Scheduled cleanup removes its backend data under the retention policy.
