How long is the email address valid?
Each address is valid for 10 minutes. After that, the address and all received messages are deleted automatically. You can generate a fresh address any time with the “New address” button.
Do I need to register?
No. The address is generated instantly when the page loads – without any signup, password or personal data.
Is it free?
Yes, 10MinMail is completely free.
Can I also send emails with the address?
No. Temporary addresses are meant for receiving messages only, for example confirmation links or one-time signups.
Is it anonymous and safe?
Using it requires no personal data. However, never use a disposable address for important or confidential accounts (e.g. banking), because the inbox is in principle accessible and gets deleted after it expires.
Is it legal?
Yes. Temporary email addresses are a legitimate tool to protect your privacy. As always, only misuse for illegal purposes is prohibited.
