Quick answers about how TempMailHub works, what it is good for and where it stops being useful.
Frequently asked questions
How long are received emails kept?
Messages stay in your temporary inbox for a limited time, currently up to 30 days, and are then removed automatically. You can also delete them yourself at any time.
Is TempMailHub free?
Yes. Creating a temporary address and reading its inbox is free, with no sign-up needed.
Do I need to register to get an address?
No. Open the site and an address is ready to copy. Signing in is only needed for extras such as the bulk generator.
Will my address be given to someone else?
No. Each address is generated for you and is not reassigned to another visitor while you are using it.
Can I receive verification codes and confirmation links?
Yes. Most sign-up confirmation emails and one-time codes arrive within seconds. Some services block disposable addresses, so results can vary. See temp mail not receiving emails if something does not arrive.
Why did a verification email never arrive?
The most common reasons are a site that blocks disposable domains, a typo in the address, or a short delay on the sender's side. Wait a minute, request the code again, and if it still fails try a Gmail-style address from our tool.
What is the Gmail dot trick and plus addressing?
Gmail ignores periods in usernames and anything after a plus sign, so one address can be written many ways. Our Gmail dot trick generator helps you create these variations.
Can I send emails from TempMailHub?
No. TempMailHub is receive-only, which keeps it simple and helps prevent misuse.
Does TempMailHub forward messages to my real inbox?
No. You read messages on the page. If you want mail forwarded, use an alias on your own mailbox. See temp mail forwarding for the difference.
Do you keep personal logs about me?
We keep only what is needed to run the service and keep it secure. See the privacy policy for details.
How does the bulk email generator work?
Sign in and you can create up to 50 separate temporary addresses at once. See the bulk generator.
Is it safe to use for important accounts?
No. Temporary addresses are best for sign-ups you do not need to recover later. Use your real email for banking, work or anything important. Read more in is temp mail safe and legal.
Can anyone else read my inbox?
Anyone who knows or guesses an address can open its inbox, so never use a temporary address for private information.
What is the difference between a temp inbox and an alias?
A temp inbox is a separate mailbox you read on the website. An alias delivers into a mailbox you already own. The guide to temp mail vs Gmail alias compares them.
