Terms of Use
Last updated: 6 August 2026.
These terms follow an address through its life: the moment it is generated, the hours it spends receiving, and the point where it stops existing. Using Temp Mail Generator means accepting what is written at each stage.
Stage one: the address is generated
Nothing existed before you loaded the page. The name was picked, a domain was attached, and the mailbox came into being in the same instant. That is why the generator is instant and why a discarded address costs nothing to replace.
What you are given is an inbox that receives, at no charge, with no account, on a domain this site owns and withdraws from circulation on its own schedule. It comes as it is, and the behaviour set out on the about page is the full extent of what has been offered.
Generating in volume breaks these terms. By hand or by script, the effect is identical: every domain in the pool has a finite working life, and creation rate is precisely the signal that ends it. One person running a loop can burn a domain that thousands of people were using one address at a time.
For the same reason there is no API, no feed and no endpoint intended for programs, and building one against these pages is a breach rather than a workaround. Traffic that looks mechanical is slowed, then refused.
Stage two: the address receives
It receives, and that is all. Sending is impossible from any address created here, and no future version will add it.
The arithmetic is unforgiving. Anonymous sending turns a service like this into a relay in days; its domains are refused everywhere in weeks; the receiving side dies with them. The restriction is what keeps the generator working.
Mail that appears to come from one of our domains was forged somewhere else. Faking a sender needs no access to the domain being imitated. The contact page lists what to send us if that is why you are reading this.
What must not arrive here. Do not use a generated address to break the law where you are, to threaten, harass or defraud anyone, to receive material that is illegal to possess, to evade a ban, or to open accounts in bulk against another site's rules. A site's terms and a country's statute are different instruments with different consequences, and this service is built to get around neither.
Other people's mail is not yours. A guest mailbox carries no password, which is a property of the design and not permission. Typing addresses to see what lands in front of you is a breach of these terms regardless of what the software permits.
Stage three: the address ends
Every address here has an ending written into it from the first second. A guest mailbox is deleted twenty four hours after its last use, and generating a new one deletes the previous one immediately, with everything in it.
We may also end it earlier. Any mailbox can be deleted at any moment without notice or explanation; any address, domain or stream of traffic that behaves badly can be blocked; any mail domain can be retired, which stops new addresses appearing on it. These are the controls that keep a free service standing rather than a system of punishments, and they are aimed at automation nearly every time they are used.
What is never promised, at any stage
That the service is available. It can be slow, interrupted or down, with no warning and no explanation owed.
That mail arrives. A sender who refuses disposable domains simply never reaches you, and the attempt is usually invisible from our side. A verification code that never turns up is this far more often than a fault here; generating a new address on a different domain is the practical answer.
That the service continues. It can change or close, taking every mailbox with it on that day.
That it fits your purpose. An address from a generator must never sit on an account you may need to recover. A recovery address has to outlive the account; this one is built to do the exact opposite, and the disclaimer sets out where responsibility falls.
Accounts
An account is free, changes four numbers and adds no obligations: mailboxes counted from your last sign in, ten at a time, domains that never appear on this page, and attachments. It also puts a lock on mailboxes that guests do not have. There is no paid tier above it.
The password is the entire protection. Whoever holds it holds every mailbox in the account, so it belongs to you alone. An account used for anything listed above as a breach is closed.
Advertising
Advertising is what makes the generator free, and two rules constrain it here beyond what the network asks. Space is reserved before an ad loads, so nothing shifts under your finger while the page settles. And no ad may be dressed as a control of this site: advertising that earns by being mistaken for something else is not accepted at any price.
Liability
To the fullest extent the law where you live allows, we are not liable for loss arising from this service: mail that never came, mail that came and expired, accounts stranded behind a dead address, or the consequences of a stranger opening a guest mailbox. Where a court finds liability that cannot be excluded, it is capped at the amount you have paid us, which is nothing.
Changes to this page
The terms move as the service does. When they change, the date at the top changes and the new version applies from that day.
No notice will be sent to you. Continuing to use the generator after a change is acceptance of it, so read this page occasionally if the rules matter to you. Anything materially stricter will be stated plainly at the top rather than buried in the middle of a section.

How an Address Generator Works
What happens in the millisecond between the click and the address: how the name is picked, where the domain comes from, what gets stored.
A Random Name or One You Choose
A random name is harder to guess, a chosen one is easier to live with. The single property that decides which of them you should take.
What Counts as a Valid Address
Standards allow far more than the average form accepts. Lengths, allowed characters, case, and why a working address gets refused.
