- Is TempMailHQ completely free?
- Yes, TempMailHQ is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, no premium features, and no credit card required. You can generate and use as many temporary email addresses as you need.
- How long do the email addresses last?
- Email addresses remain active as long as you keep the page open. If there's no activity for 7 days, or if you generate a new address, the old address and its emails are automatically deleted to maintain privacy and security.
- Can I send emails from my temporary address?
- No, TempMailHQ email addresses are receive-only. This helps prevent abuse and ensures the service remains reliable for legitimate use cases like receiving verification emails or testing.
- Are the emails secure and private?
- Yes, we take security seriously. All emails are transmitted over encrypted connections and stored securely. Each temporary email address is private and can only be accessed by its creator using a unique key.
- Is there a limit to how many emails I can receive?
- There's no strict limit on the number of emails you can receive. However, to prevent abuse, we have reasonable usage limits in place. For most users, these limits will never be reached during normal use.
- Can I access my temporary emails from different devices?
- Yes, you can access your temporary inbox from any device with a web browser. Simply bookmark the unique inbox URL or save it somewhere secure if you need to access it from multiple devices.
- What happens if I receive important emails after my address expires?
- Once an email address expires (after 7 days of inactivity or when generating a new address), any new emails sent to it will not be delivered. We recommend using TempMailHQ for temporary correspondence only, not for receiving important long-term communications.
