Saved on this deviceWhat is Mailfornet?
Mailfornet (mailfornet.com) is a free temporary email service. It gives you a disposable email address in one click, with no sign-up, so you can receive verification codes and sign-up emails without exposing your real inbox. An address and its messages are deleted the moment you replace it, or when the timer on the address runs out. Mailfornet also offers optional paid plans with permanent addresses and custom usernames, and a free Gmail alias generator.
People call it temp mail, disposable email, throwaway email or fake mail. It's all the same idea: a real, working inbox that only sticks around for a few minutes. Mail lands in it like any other address, nothing ties it to you, and then it's gone. One thing worth knowing up front is that these addresses only receive mail. They can take in a verification code all day, but they can't send anything out, which is exactly why they can't be used to spam anyone.
There's no catch and no counting. Make one address, use it, and make another a minute later if you want — the new one simply replaces the old. There's no daily limit, no credit card and nothing to sign up for. The paid plans exist for people who need several addresses at once, the same address on every device, or a username they picked themselves. If one free address does the job for you, you never need to pay us anything.

Mail shows up fast
The inbox checks for new messages every few seconds, so you're not sitting there hitting refresh.
More than one domain
If a site rejects one domain, switch networks and try another. Takes two clicks.
Nothing to sign up for
No account, no password, no phone number. Emails open in a protected view to keep your device safe.
Cleans up after itself
Replacing an address deletes it and its mail at once. Need an address that stays? Go permanent.
How it works
-
1
Copy the address
An address is created the moment you click Generate, and it's already on your clipboard. Free addresses get a random username; paid plans let you pick your own.
-
2
Paste it where you need it
Use it on the sign-up form, download page or Wi-Fi portal that's asking for an email.
-
3
Read the email here
Verification codes and links land in the inbox below within seconds, and the address is still here when you come back tomorrow. Generate a new one and this address and its mail are gone.
Free temp mail, or a permanent address?
Most people never need to decide: the free address does what they came for and that's the end of it. The question worth asking is whether you need more than one at a time, or the same address on your phone as on your laptop. If yes, that's what a plan is for. If not, stay on the free side — it costs nothing and there's no timer.
| Free temp mail | Paid plan | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Nothing | a small monthly price |
| Address lasts | Until you replace it or the timer runs out | As long as you keep the plan |
| Username | Random | Whatever you want, if it's free |
| Account | Not needed | Needed |
| How many addresses | One at a time — 10 new ones every 12 hours, and a new one replaces the last | 50, 200 or 1,000 live at the same time |
| On your other devices | No — an address lives in the browser that made it | Yes — you log in, so they follow you |
| Mail kept | Until you replace the address | 200 to 1,000 emails per address |
Good times to use a temp mail
- Grabbing a free e-book, template or coupon that's locked behind an email form
- Trying an app for five minutes before deciding if it deserves your real address
- Public Wi-Fi portals at airports, cafés and hotels
- Posting once on a forum you'll probably never visit again
- Testing sign-up and password-reset emails if you build websites
When to use your real email
- Banking, payments, or anything with money attached
- Accounts you'll need to recover later, since the address won't exist anymore
- Work, school, government or healthcare sites
- Anything private. A temp inbox isn't the place for personal documents.
Privacy and safety
The whole point of a throwaway address is to keep sites you'll visit once away from your real inbox. Here's what that actually buys you here, and the one place where it stops.
- Nothing to identify you. Free addresses need no name, password or phone number, so there is nothing to leak if a site you signed up to is breached.
- Your inbox stays with your browser. The inbox opens only in the browser that created the address, so knowing the address is not enough to read the mail.
- Automatic deletion. Replacing an address deletes it and its messages immediately, and when its timer runs out it is deleted too. There is no hidden archive.
- Safe viewing. Emails open in a protected view, so content from an untrusted sender can't touch your device.
- No mail selling, no ad trackers on your messages. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
- And the honest part: a throwaway inbox is not a safe deposit box. Keep banking, payments, work and government accounts on your real address, and don't let anything through here that you'd mind a stranger reading. We wrote about where the line sits in is temporary email safe?
Quick answers
Is it really free, and how many can I make?
Really free: 10 new addresses every 12 hours, with a counter under the button. Make one, use it, make another — though only one is live at a time, so a new address replaces the last. No account and no card. We charge only for plans, which give you several addresses at once, on every device, with usernames you pick.
How long does an address last?
As long as you keep using it. The address survives a refresh and is still there the next day. Generate a new one and the old address is deleted at once; the timer on the address shows how long it has left.
Can I send emails from it?
No, it's receive-only. That's on purpose: it keeps the service from being used to send spam.
Do I need an account?
No. Temporary email works with no account, password or phone number. You only create an account if you buy a paid plan with permanent addresses.
Can someone else open my temporary inbox?
The inbox opens only in the browser that created the address, so the address on its own isn't enough to read your mail. Still, don't use a temporary address for anything private.
Is using a temporary email legal?
Yes, in most countries it's perfectly legal to use a disposable address instead of your own. Using it for fraud, harassment or to dodge a ban is not allowed under our Terms.
Why didn't my verification email arrive?
Some senders are slow, so give it a minute and check that the address was pasted correctly. Some sites do not accept temporary addresses at all, and for those a regular email is the right choice.
