Why you need an anonymous email
Signing up for a regular email account usually requires a phone number or even ID, yet many websites just want an address that can receive a verification code. Hand over your main email and the promotions never stop; if the site is ever breached, your address ends up on spam lists too. An anonymous email lets you sign up and verify without revealing who you are.
Features of anonymous temp email
- No personal information: no signup and no phone number; just generate an address.
- Receive-only: it cannot send mail, which prevents abuse and keeps the addresses clean.
- Sandboxed content: scripts in emails never run, so opening unknown messages is safer.
- Automatic cleanup: emails are kept for 30 days and then deleted automatically, never stored long-term.
Limitations of anonymous email
Anonymous burner email is great for short-term use but not as a long-term identity: it cannot send mail, emails are cleaned up regularly, and it is not suitable for important accounts you may need to recover later. If you want to keep addresses longer, create an account on this site and save your inboxes to it.

FAQ
Do I need a phone number for an anonymous email?
No. Creating an anonymous email requires no phone number and no account.
Does an anonymous email fully hide my identity?
It keeps your real email and phone number private, but information you enter on other websites and your network environment can still reveal who you are, so stay careful.
Can I use an anonymous email long-term?
The address keeps working, but emails are deleted automatically after the retention period (30 days), so it is not suitable for mail you need to keep.
