Say goodbye to spam, junk mail, and intrusive ads. Protect your privacy and keep your inbox safe. Mail Cheap offers temporary, anonymous, secure, and disposable email addresses for hassle-free online communication.
Waiting for new emails to arrive...
10 minute mail is a free, disposable email address that self-destructs after 10 minutes. You don't need to sign up, give a phone number, or share your real Gmail - just open Mailcheap, copy your temporary email address, and use it anywhere you'd rather not hand over your personal inbox. When the timer's up, the address and every message it received are gone for good.
Think of it as a burner phone, but for email. Whether you're signing up for a one-time download, verifying a forum account, or testing a service before you commit, our 10-minute mail generator gives you a working inbox in under a second.
Every 10 minute mail address works for receiving messages, attachments, and verification codes. You don't need to refresh, log in, or solve a captcha.
A regular email address - Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo - is permanent. Once a site has it, you can't take it back. That's how mailing lists, data brokers, and breach databases get fed. A 10 minute mail address flips that.
Most newsletter signups and "free download" forms exist to harvest your email. A disposable temporary email lets you grab the content and walk away - no follow-up emails, no promos, no leaked address showing up in a Have I Been Pwned dump six months later.
Your primary inbox should be for people you actually want to hear from. Use 10 minute mail for the rest - the trials, the gated PDFs, the "verify your age" walls. Want a permanent disposable address that doesn't expire? Upgrade to a permanent disposable inbox.
A 10-minute mail address isn't tied to your name, phone, or IP. It's a clean slate every time.
Both temp mail and 10 minute mail give you a disposable inbox without signup, but a 10-minute mail address has a hard expiry - exactly ten minutes, then it's gone. Regular temp mail can stick around longer, sometimes hours or until you close the tab. The shorter window is the point: it's a built-in guarantee that whatever lands in your inbox today isn't sitting on a server next week. See how Mailcheap compares to temp-mail.org for a head-to-head breakdown.
If you just need a code, a confirmation link, or a one-time login - 10 minute mail is the cleanest option. Curious whether your existing Gmail can do the same job? Can you create a temp mail with Gmail?
Yes. Using a disposable temporary email is completely legal, and Mailcheap doesn't ask for your name, phone, or any personal data. We don't log your IP, we don't sell anything to advertisers, and once the 10-minute window closes, your address and every message in it are permanently deleted from our servers.
A few sites - banks, government portals, some social platforms - block known disposable email providers, so 10 minute mail isn't a fit for an account you actually want to keep. Use a real address for those, and save the burner for everything else.
Everything you need to know about disposable email.
Copy the email address at the top of this page, paste it into any signup or verification form, and watch the inbox below for incoming messages. No registration needed.
Some sites block disposable email domains. If nothing arrives after a minute, click Generate New to get a different address on another domain and try again.
No - Mailcheap is receive-only by design. That's part of what keeps it anonymous: the address can't be used to send spam, phishing, or anything tied back to you.
Yes. Hit Refresh to reset the timer back to 10 minutes any time before it expires. You can also click Edit to customise the address.
Most of the time, yes. Some platforms periodically blacklist disposable domains - if one address gets rejected, generate a new one and try a different domain.
Yes. We don't require an account, we don't ask for personal info, and we don't store your messages after the address expires.
Completely free, forever, unlimited addresses. No ads on the page, no upsell.
