Getting Started: How to Use Temp Mail Like a Pro

Welcome to Temp Mail—the fastest way to regain control over your digital privacy. Whether you're trying to avoid marketing spam or testing a new application, our service is designed to be instant, anonymous, and effortless.

This guide will walk you through the three simple steps to using our web platform and our native mobile applications.

1. Generating Your First Address

When you visit our homepage, a unique, random email address is automatically generated for you. You don't need to sign up, provide your name, or verify your identity.

  • Copy with One Click: Simply click the "Copy" icon next to your email address to save it to your clipboard.
  • Refresh Anytime: If you need a different address, just hit the "Refresh" button, and a brand-new identity will be created instantly.

2. Receiving and Reading Emails

Once you use your temporary address to register for a site, simply stay on the page. Incoming emails will appear in your Inbox automatically within seconds.

  • Real-Time Delivery: Our servers check for new mail every 10 seconds.
  • Read & Verify: Click on any incoming message to read its full content, click verification links, or copy OTP codes.
  • Safe Attachments: All emails are scanned for security, allowing you to interact with your mail without risking your primary device.

3. Taking Privacy on the Go (Mobile Apps)

Privacy shouldn't stop at your desktop. We’ve built powerful, lightweight mobile apps so you can generate burner addresses while you're out and about—perfect for airport Wi-Fi or quick in-store signups.

Pro Tips for Maximum Privacy

  1. Don't Close the Tab Too Early: Ensure you've finished your verification before closing the browser, as the inbox is temporary.
  2. Use Our Apps for Push Notifications: If you're waiting for a delayed email, our mobile apps can notify you the second it arrives, so you don't have to keep refreshing your browser.
  3. Check Your History: On our mobile apps, you can manage multiple temporary addresses at once, making it even easier to handle complex testing tasks.
