Temp mail is a receive-only address for a short, low-risk purpose. This cornerstone guide explains what the tool does, what it cannot protect and when permanent email is the safer choice.
How a temporary inbox works
- Open the home page and copy the assigned address.
- Use it for one permitted, short-lived interaction.
- Return to the inbox and refresh while waiting for delivery.
- Finish the task before changing the address; recovery is not guaranteed.
Appropriate uses
Newsletter previews, one-time downloads and manual testing of forms you control are reasonable examples. Banking, purchases, identity records and accounts you may need to recover are not.
Privacy limits
A separate address can reduce exposure of your primary mailbox. It does not hide your IP address, stop browser tracking, secure third-party links or make you anonymous.
Delivery and retention
Senders can delay or reject temporary domains. Temp Mail 24 is receive-only and promises no exact mailbox lifetime, message retention period or recovery.
