What is TempMail.ninja and what is it used for?
TempMail.ninja is a web application that allows any visitor to obtain a temporary email address without the need to register or provide personal information. This service makes it easy to receive and send temporary emails, protecting the user’s privacy and preventing spam in the main inbox.
What is a temporary email?
A temporary email is an email address created for immediate use and deleted after a specified period. Temporary emails are ideal for quick registrations and short-term tasks where you don’t want to expose your personal email address.
How long does my temporary email last on TempMail.ninja?
Automatically generated temporary emails have a lifespan of 3 months. Additionally, emails generated with public domains have a maximum lifespan of 3 months, while emails with private domains last up to 8 months for registered users.
Can I choose the domain of my temporary email?
Yes, on TempMail.ninja you have the option to choose from three types of domains:
Public Domains: Available to all users, with a lifespan of 3 months.
Private Domains: Exclusive to registered users (with a Google account), with a lifespan of up to 8 months.
Premium Domains: Currently in development; additional features are planned for these domains in the future.
How does my temporary email inbox work?
The inbox displays received messages in chronological order. Each message can be opened by clicking the “Open” button next to the subject, allowing you to read the content, view details (sender, subject, etc.), and download attachments. Messages are automatically deleted after 48 hours, although you can delete them manually at any time.
Is it possible to send messages from my temporary email?
Yes, users can send messages from their temporary address. To do so, they simply need to go to the “Send Message” page and fill out the form. Users can send one message per hour, and all sent messages, like the received ones, are automatically deleted after 48 hours.
Important: The delivery of sent messages is not guaranteed. Some messages may be blocked by recipients’ spam filters. As it is a free and publicly accessible service, occasional abuse by users may lead to TempMail.ninja addresses being added to spam lists.
What are the differences between registered and unregistered users?
Registered users with a Google account enjoy additional benefits:
Access to Private Domains: Registered users can generate emails with private domains, which are more secure against temporary email detection filters.
Ability to Reply to Messages: Registered users can reply to received messages.
Sending Attachments: Registered users can add attachments to their messages.
Increased Temporary Email Capacity: Registered users can store up to 25 emails in their list, while unregistered users are limited to 8 emails.
Can I customize my temporary email?
Yes, in the options panel, you can customize your temporary email address by creating a custom alias and choosing your preferred domain from those available according to your user type.
How can I protect my temporary email with a password?
In the options panel, you have the option to assign a password to your temporary email to protect access. Important: Passwords are not recoverable. If you forget the password for your temporary email, you will not be able to recover it, which ensures greater security.
What happens if I delete a temporary email from my list?
If you delete a temporary email from your list, it remains active but is hidden from your panel view. However, if you choose to delete it permanently, the email will no longer exist, and you won’t be able to receive or send messages from that address.
Why don’t some temporary emails receive messages from certain services?
Some services use blocklists for temporary emails to prevent the use of such addresses on their platforms. Public domains are more likely to be on these lists. To avoid this, registered users can opt for private domains, which are less likely to be detected.
Is it safe to use a temporary email?
Yes, using a temporary email is safe. TempMail.ninja does not request personal information and allows users to generate anonymous emails. Additionally, the password option adds an extra layer of security for stored messages.
What is the difference between deleting a temporary email and removing it from the email list?
Removing from the List: The email remains active and can still be used but no longer appears in the list view.
Permanently Deleting: The email ceases to exist and can no longer receive or send messages.
Can I access TempMail.ninja from multiple devices?
Yes, TempMail.ninja is designed to be accessible from any device. You only need a web browser to access the application and generate or manage your temporary emails.
Why are some domains removed from the platform?
Public domains have a maximum lifespan of 3 months, and private ones up to 8 months. After this period, the domain is removed from the platform and cannot be reused, ensuring a constant flow of new domains for users.
How frequently are new domains added to TempMail.ninja?
Public Domains: One new domain is added each week.
Private Domains: One new domain is added each month for registered users.
Is the use of temporary emails legal?
Yes, the use of temporary emails is completely legal. These emails help protect user privacy and prevent spam. However, some services may not accept temporary email addresses for subscriptions or registrations.
How can I retrieve a temporary email I previously created?
If you need to access a temporary email you created earlier, you can do so from your options panel. If you set a password, it will be required to regain access. Remember that retrieval is only possible if the email is still within its validity period.
What if I forget the address of my temporary email?
If you forget your temporary email address, you can easily retrieve it in your options panel, as long as the email is still active. If you set a password, it will be required to access the email. Remember that passwords are not recoverable; if you lose the password, you will not be able to recover access to the email.
Do you offer ultra-fast temporary email services?
Yes, TempMail.ninja provides a 10-minute temporary email service. This email is automatically deleted after that time and is ideal for situations where an immediate-use address is needed. However, 10-minute emails have limited functionalities: they cannot send messages or be customized.
Are there any special recommendations for using TempMail.ninja?
TempMail.ninja is designed to protect user privacy. We recommend using the service responsibly and adhering to the established terms and conditions, avoiding any misuse of the platform.
