Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Temporary Email Address?

A Temporary Email Address (also known as disposable email, burner email, or fake email) is a short-lived email account that lets you receive emails without exposing your real inbox. It protects you from spam, phishing, and unwanted marketing while keeping your identity anonymous.

How long does a temp mail last on tempmail.cam?

Unlike traditional 10-minute mail services, tempmail.cam offers long-lasting temporary email addresses. Your temporary email address stays active as long as you need it (up to 1 year) within our active domains. You can delete it manually at any time with a single click.

Is tempmail.cam free and secure?

Yes! tempmail.cam is 100% free with no hidden costs, no premium plans, and no credit card required. All email traffic is encrypted in transit. We maintain a strict zero-logs policy and require absolutely no registration or personal details.

Can I send emails using tempmail.cam?

No, tempmail.cam is a receive-only service. This policy is strictly enforced to prevent our domains from being used for spam, spoofing, or illegal activities. Our primary goal is to protect your inbox from spam, not to provide an outbound email platform.

Does temp mail work with Instagram, Discord, and TikTok?

Yes! tempmail.cam uses high-reputation email domains that are constantly maintained and rotated. Our addresses work with major platforms like Instagram, Discord, TikTok, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, Reddit, and thousands of other sites for receiving OTPs and verification codes.

Do I need to register to use temp mail?

Absolutely no registration is required. Simply visit tempmail.cam and a random disposable email address is instantly generated for you. Copy it, use it anywhere, and delete it when you're done — all without ever creating an account.

Can I create a custom temporary email address?

Yes! You can create a custom alias (username) for your disposable email address. Simply click the "New" button on our homepage, type your preferred username, select a domain, and your personalized temp mail is ready instantly.

Are email attachments supported?

Yes, you can receive emails with attachments on tempmail.cam. Our system securely processes incoming attachments so you can download necessary files, documents, or images without exposing your primary email address to potential risks.

Why should I use tempmail.cam instead of my real email?

Using your real email for one-time sign-ups, file downloads, or untrusted websites inevitably leads to a cluttered inbox filled with promotional spam and newsletters. Tempmail.cam protects your privacy, prevents spam from reaching your real inbox, and keeps your personal information safe.

Do you keep a backup of my deleted emails?

No, we operate with a strict privacy-first approach. Once you manually delete your temporary email or individual messages, they are permanently erased from our servers. We do not retain any backups or logs of your temporary inbox contents.
