Temporary Disposable Email Provider List: 15 Temp Mail Services That Still Work

A temporary (or disposable) email address is a throwaway inbox you can give to a website when you do not want to share your real email. It is great for one-time downloads, free trials and sign-ups that would otherwise fill your inbox with promotions.

Our older list had dozens of services and a list of 500+ domains, but many of those sites have shut down or are now parked domains. We checked every provider and kept only the ones that still work. Here is the updated list.

Temporary Email Providers at a Glance

Instant Temp Email (No Sign-Up)

These services do not ask for any of your information. Open the site, copy the address, and check the inbox on the same page. They are perfect for quick downloads and one-time sign-ups.

• 10 Minute Mail: The classic temp email. You get an address that lasts 10 minutes. If your email has not arrived yet, click the button to add 10 more minutes. You can also reply to messages or forward one to your real inbox if you need to save it.
• 20 Minute Mail: Similar idea, but the mailbox lasts 20 minutes and you can extend it. You can also pick a custom address and download messages as .eml files.
• Guerrillamail: One of the oldest and most reliable services. It gives you a random address (you can scramble it for a new one), lets you compose and send emails, and deletes all emails after 1 hour. If you need your old address again, you can switch back to it.
• Yopmail: Use any name you like @yopmail.com, with no registration. Messages are kept for 8 days. YOPmail also offers alternate domain names, which helps when a website blocks the main yopmail.com domain. You can reply to other YOPmail addresses, but sending to outside addresses is not allowed.
• Mailinator: Type any name @mailinator.com on a website, then check that inbox on Mailinator. These public inboxes are still free. Mailinator now focuses mostly on email testing for developers, which is what its paid plans are for.
• Mailnesia: Use any @mailnesia.com address. Its best trick is that it visits verification links automatically, so your new account gets confirmed right away. It also has an RSS feed for every mailbox and supports aliases.
• Mint Email: A “no-click” service. As soon as you open the site, you get an address, and new emails pop up on the same page. You can also set a custom address.
• Incognito Email: A clean, simple service. Click the button to get a temporary address and read your mail in the inbox.
• Trashmail.ws: Gives you a disposable address with buttons to copy, refresh, create a new one or delete it. It offers several domains to choose from.

Note: On public inbox services like Mailinator, Mailnesia and YOPmail, anyone who guesses your address can read your emails. Pick an unusual name and never use them for anything private.

Disposable Forwarding Addresses

These services ask for your real email address. They create a temporary address that forwards mail to your inbox until it expires. Your real address stays hidden from the website.

• Easy Trash Mail: Enter your real email and choose how long the address should last, from 15 minutes up to 1 month. All mail is forwarded to you until it expires, and then the address is destroyed. It can also send you a reminder before it expires.
• TrashMail.com: This long-running German service was renamed Aionda Mail in 2026, and existing addresses and forwarding rules were kept. It creates disposable addresses that forward to your real inbox, has a free basic plan, and offers a Firefox add-on.

Free Sign-Up Alias Services

These require you to create an account. In return, you get a long-lasting set of aliases that you can block one by one. They are better than a 10-minute inbox if you might need the account again.

• 33Mail: Make up a new address whenever you need one, like [email protected], and it forwards to your inbox. If an alias starts getting spam, block it from the email itself. The free plan has a bandwidth limit, and premium raises it.
• Spamgourmet: A free service that has been around for years. You create addresses on the fly, and each one only forwards a set number of emails before it stops working.
• E4ward: Create a unique address for each contact. Choose which ones are forwarded to your inbox and which ones are bounced. No credit card is needed to start.
• Spamex: A paid disposable address service. It hides your real email and shows you which company leaked or sold your address.

Other Good Options

A few newer services are also worth knowing about:

• Temp-Mail and Maildrop: Two popular instant temp email sites. Maildrop lets you make up your own address and is free.
• Firefox Relay, SimpleLogin and DuckDuckGo Email Protection: These create email masks that forward to your real inbox. They are a good fit for accounts you want to keep, because you can still receive password reset emails.
• Hide My Email: If you pay for iCloud+, Apple can create random addresses that forward to your inbox.

When to Use a Temp Email (and When Not To)

Temporary email is useful when:

• You want to download a file or ebook that is locked behind an email form.
• You are signing up for a free trial or a forum you will only use once.
• You want to test a website’s sign-up flow.
• You want to avoid newsletters and promotional emails in your main inbox.

But it has limits:

• Do not use it for accounts you need to keep. If you forget your password, the reset email goes to an inbox that no longer exists, and you lose the account. Never use it for banking, shopping, work or social media.
• It is not private. Many temp inboxes are public, and the service can read everything. Never receive passwords, personal documents or financial details there.
• Many sites block it. A lot of websites reject known disposable email domains. Try a service with alternate domains (like YOPmail) or an alias service instead.
• Follow the rules. Using temp email to abuse free trials or break a website’s terms can get your account banned.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best temporary email service?

For a quick inbox, 10 Minute Mail and Guerrilla Mail are the most reliable. If you need to pick your own address and keep messages for a few days, use YOPmail. If you might need the account later, use an alias service like 33Mail or Firefox Relay.

Is a temp email address safe to use?

It is safe for low-risk sign-ups, but it is not private. Anyone who knows or guesses the address may be able to read the inbox on public services. Do not use it for anything sensitive.

Can I get a temp email that is not disposable?

Yes. If you want an address that keeps working, use an alias service like 33Mail, Spamgourmet, SimpleLogin or DuckDuckGo Email Protection. They forward to your real inbox and you can turn each alias off when you want. You could also make a free second Gmail or Outlook account just for sign-ups.

What happened to Dispostable, Mail Vanish and other old services?

Many services from our old list, such as Air Mail, Dead Address, MailCatch, My Trash Mail, NoClickEmail, Jetable, Mail Expire, Melt Mail, Spambox, Mail Null and Hidester’s temp email, have shut down or stopped loading. When we checked, Dispostable, Mail Vanish and DisposeMail did not load either. Stick with the services listed above.

That’s it! We hope this temporary disposable email provider list helps you keep your inbox clean. If you know another temp email service that still works, let us know in the comments.
