How Long Do Temporary Emails Last?
A temp mail address lasts as long as you choose when you create it, from 5 to 30 minutes. The clock starts the moment you make it and does not reset with use. After that, the address and its mail are erased for good.
Need more time? Just make a new address. If you want a set window, try our 10 minute mail for a quick, short task.
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?
Temp mail is built for privacy. We ask for no sign-up. We collect no name and no real email. The address is not tied to you, and your mail is wiped once it expires. If you want to stay fully hidden, pair it with an anonymous email.
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?
Temp mail is made to receive mail, not to send it. You cannot send from a temp address here. If you need to send, use a normal email app. Custom domains are not offered, so every address ends in @tempmail.now.
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.
