Temporary email without sign-up — disposable email services
A temporary (disposable) email is an inbox created in a second with no sign-up that deletes itself after minutes, hours or days. People use it to receive a confirmation code, download gated content, start a trial or test a form on their own landing page without flooding their main inbox with spam. Compare inbox lifetime, privacy, sending and API.

How to create a temporary email
Open any service from the list: the address appears right away or after you type a name. Copy it, paste it into the form and keep the tab open until the email arrives. No sign-up, no payment.
How the services differ
- Lifetime: from 10 minutes (10MinuteMail.net) to 30 days (Tempr.email) or indefinitely (YOPmail, Mail.tm)
- Privacy: public inboxes can be read by anyone who knows the address; private ones are protected by a password or PIN (Mail.tm, TempMail.Plus, EmailOnDeck)
- Sending: TempMail.Plus and Tempr.email can send, most others only receive
- Domains: the more domains, the better the chance a site accepts the address
- API: Mail.tm, Mailsac, DropMail, Guerrilla Mail, for automated form tests
Why a site rejects a temporary email
Many sites keep lists of disposable email domains and block them. A service with many or regularly rotated domains helps (Moakt, TempMail.Plus, Tempr.email, CrazyMailing), as do aliases on a permanent inbox (33mail, erine.email).
When not to use a disposable email
Never register ad accounts, payment services, affiliate network accounts or anything with money on a temporary address: without inbox access you can't reset the password or pass verification. For long-term protection of your main inbox use aliases instead.
