Xeramail works in three simple steps. First, generate a temporary email address — either a random one or a custom name on one of our supported domains. Second, use that address anywhere you would use your real email, such as sign-up forms or free trial registrations. Third, check your inbox on Xeramail to read incoming messages. Messages arrive in real-time and everything is deleted automatically after 24 hours.

What is a disposable temporary email?

A disposable email — also called temp mail, throwaway email, fake email, burner email, trash mail, or 10 minute mail — is a free temporary email address that lets you receive messages without using your real inbox. Services like Xeramail are used when websites, forums, or Wi-Fi portals ask for an email before granting access. Instead of handing over your personal address and dealing with spam, you generate a temporary one, get your verification code or confirmation, and move on. The address and its messages are automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Why people use this instead of their real email

Signing up for things with your personal inbox is not always the best. Here's what Xeramail does differently.

Your real email stays private

Every time you type your email into a sign-up form, you're trusting that company with your inbox. Use a disposable address instead — if it leaks, it doesn't matter.

Everything deletes itself

Addresses and messages are removed automatically after 24 hours. No manual cleanup, no lingering data. If you need more time, you can request an extension.

Protected by a secret key

Each inbox is locked behind a secret key that only you see once. We don't store it in plain text, so even we can't read your mail.

Multiple domains to choose from

Pick from several available domains when creating your address. Some services block known disposable domains — having options helps you get through. View all domains.

Run several inboxes at once

Managing multiple sign-ups or testing different flows? Create several temporary addresses and switch between them from the account menu.

Built-in test email tool

Developers can send test emails to any address to verify delivery, check spam placement, or debug SMTP configuration — without using their personal inbox.

Beyond temp mail

Want an address that never expires?

Temp inboxes are perfect for throwaways. When you want a permanent address that hides your real inbox — mail forwards straight to you, and you kill it the moment it starts getting spam — that’s a forwarding alias.

Hides your real address. Hand out an alias, not your inbox.
Forwards to you. Mail lands in your real inbox, nothing stored.
Kill spam per alias. One leaks? Switch it off, the rest are untouched.

How It Works

Three steps. No account needed.

Generate an address

Hit generate for a random address, or pick your own name and domain. No registration required.

Use it wherever

Paste it into any sign-up, trial, or form. It works like a regular email address.

Read your mail

Messages show up instantly. Everything is deleted after 24 hours.

Real situations where a disposable email saves you

Not theoretical. These are things people actually use this for every day.

“I just want to read one article”

A news site wants your email to access a single story. You give them a disposable address, read the article, and never hear from them again.

“Free trial without the follow-up”

Start a 7-day software or streaming trial without giving them your real inbox. When the trial ends, the address is already gone — no marketing emails, no surprise charges.

“Testing an email flow I just built”

You are a developer shipping a transactional email feature. Generate a disposable address, trigger your flow, and confirm delivery — without polluting your personal inbox with test messages.

“Airport Wi-Fi wants my email”

Public Wi-Fi portals that gate access behind an email address. Use a disposable one to get through the gate, and it won't matter when they sell it to a mailing list.

“A secondary account for a specific community”

Join a Reddit thread, Discord server, or forum where you would rather not tie the account back to your main identity. Use a temporary email for the sign-up verification.

“Online shopping from a store I won't revisit”

Buying something from a store you don't plan to return to. Complete the purchase with a disposable address and avoid the promotional emails that follow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Xeramail, how it works, what it stores, and whether it fits your use case.

What is Xeramail?

Xeramail is a free temporary email service that lets you generate disposable email addresses instantly. You can use these addresses to receive emails for sign-ups, verifications, free trials, and one-time communications without exposing your real email address. All messages are automatically deleted after 24 hours, and no personal information is required to get started.

How does it work?

Generate an address — pick a random one or choose a custom name on one of our supported domains
Use it anywhere — paste it into sign-up forms, free trial registrations, or any service that requires email verification
Read your mail — messages arrive in real-time in inbox; everything is deleted after 24 hours

Is it free to use?

Yes. Xeramail is free to use — random and custom addresses, a real-time inbox, encrypted messages, and multiple domains are all available at no cost, and the free tier is supported by unobtrusive advertising. An optional Pro plan adds longer-lived inboxes, auto-extracted verification codes, email attachments, more private domains, no CAPTCHA, and developer API access for those who want it.

Do I need to create an account to use Xeramail?

No account is required for basic use. You can generate a temporary email address and start receiving messages immediately without signing up. If you want to use custom domains or manage multiple addresses, you can sign in with your Google account for a more persistent experience.

How long do Xeramail temporary emails last?

Temporary email addresses expire after 24 hours. After expiration, the address and all its messages are permanently deleted during our automated daily cleanup. This means all data is typically removed within 24 to 48 hours of creation. If you need a longer duration, contact us to request an extension.

Can I choose my own email address on Xeramail?

Yes. You can create a custom email address by choosing your own local part — the part before the @ symbol. For example, you could create [email protected] instead of accepting a randomly generated address. We support multiple domains, and availability is checked in real-time so you know immediately if your chosen name is available.

Can I manage multiple temporary email addresses?

Yes. You can create and manage multiple temporary email addresses simultaneously. Switch between inboxes using the account menu in the navigation bar. This is useful for organizing different projects, separating work and personal sign-ups, or testing multiple email flows at the same time. Each address has its own inbox and secret key.

Can I send emails from my Xeramail address?

No. Xeramail is a receive-only service. You cannot send replies or compose new emails from temporary addresses. This is by design — it maintains the disposable nature of the service and prevents abuse. However, you can use the send test email feature to test your own mail server configuration.

What is the send test email feature?

The send test email feature allows developers and system administrators to send a test email to any address to verify mail server configuration and email delivery. This is useful for debugging transactional email flows, verifying DNS records, or testing email templates without cluttering your real inbox.

Is Xeramail secure?

Yes. Xeramail uses standard TLS encryption for all data in transit and encrypts stored messages at rest while they are active. Each inbox is protected by a secret key that only you have access to. We do not sell, share, or use your data for advertising purposes. For full details, see our privacy policy.

What data does Xeramail store?

Xeramail stores only the minimum data needed to operate the service: your temporary email address, its messages, and your secret key hash. All of this is automatically deleted within 24 to 48 hours. We do not track who created which address, we do not log your real email or IP address for basic use, and we do not build profiles on users. For complete details, read our privacy policy.

What happens if I lose my secret key?

Unfortunately, secret keys cannot be recovered. The key is shown only once when you create the address, and we do not store it in plain text. This is a security measure. If you lose your key, you will not be able to access that inbox again. You can always create a new temporary address. We recommend saving your secret key in a password manager or writing it down securely.

Can I use it for social media sign-ups?

Yes. Xeramail works for creating accounts on Reddit, Discord, Instagram, Twitter/X, and other social media platforms. Many users create secondary or anonymous accounts using temporary emails to participate in communities, follow topics, or test services without linking activity back to their primary identity. Verification codes typically arrive within seconds.

Can I use the service for free trials?

Yes. Temporary emails are ideal for free trial sign-ups for streaming services, software products, and other platforms. When the trial ends, the temporary address expires too — so you will not receive follow-up marketing or be charged unknowingly. This includes trials for services like Netflix, Spotify, and many others.

How is Xeramail different from other temporary email services?

Custom domain support — your address looks less obviously temporary
Multiple simultaneous inboxes — manage several addresses at once
No account required — generate and use addresses instantly
24-hour window — unlike 10-minute mail services, you get a full day
Send test email tool — built-in utility for developers
Free to use — no paywalls for core features, with an optional Pro plan for power users
Real-time delivery — messages appear instantly without refreshing

Does Xeramail work on mobile devices?

Yes. Xeramail is a web-based service that works in any modern browser on any device, including smartphones and tablets. There is no app to install — simply open the website in your mobile browser, generate an address, and start receiving emails.

Who built Xeramail and why?

Xeramail was built because most services ask for your email address just to market to you later. We wanted a simple tool that lets you get past sign-up screens without handing over your real inbox. The service is maintained by a small team and is supported by advertising. Learn more about us.

How can I contact the Xeramail team?

You can reach us by emailing [email protected] or by using our contact page. We welcome bug reports, feature suggestions, and general feedback. We typically respond within 24 to 48 hours.
