Temp mail that websites actually accept

Why it exists

Most temp mail services hand out addresses on a domain of their own. Websites keep lists of those domains and refuse them, so the address fails at the very first step, usually right when you only wanted a verification code.

An address ending in gmail.com cannot be blocked that way without blocking Gmail itself. TempMails was built around that idea: a throwaway address that looks like any other Gmail address, with the code read out of the email so there is nothing to hunt for.

How it works

Gmail ignores dots before the @ and anything after a +, so one mailbox answers to a great many addresses. The addresses here are made that way, on shared accounts run by an email provider that TempMails connects to. When you press Generate or Refresh, this site asks that provider on your behalf and shows you the result. The steps are explained in our temporary Gmail guide.

• No account, no password, and no email address of your own.
• Emails open in a sandbox with scripts turned off.
• We do not keep copies of the mail on our servers. It passes through to your browser and stays with the provider.
• Your recent addresses are saved in your own browser, not with us.

What it is not for

Public addresses are shared, so anyone who knows an address can read what arrives at it. We say so plainly because it matters: never use a temporary address for banking, government services, work, or any account you would mind losing. Our guide to temp mail safety goes through the risks in detail.

Who makes it

TempMails is built and run by Bathan Dev, who also makes the Temp Mail app for Android. The website and the app work the same way and share the same email service.
