Mailfornet (mailfornet.com) is a free temporary email service. It gives you a disposable email address in one click, with no sign-up, so you can receive verification codes and sign-up emails without exposing your real inbox. Addresses and their messages are deleted automatically after 10 minutes. Mailfornet also offers optional paid plans with permanent addresses and custom usernames, and a free Gmail alias generator.
People call it temp mail, disposable email, throwaway email or fake mail. It's all the same idea: a real, working inbox that only sticks around for a few minutes. Mail lands in it like any other address, nothing ties it to you, and then it's gone. One thing worth knowing up front is that these addresses only receive mail. They can take in a verification code all day, but they can't send anything out, which is exactly why they can't be used to spam anyone.
There's no catch and no counting. Make one address, use it, and make another one a minute later if you want. There's no daily limit, no credit card and nothing to sign up for. The paid plans exist for one reason only: some people want an address that doesn't disappear, with a username they picked themselves. If a 10-minute address does the job for you, you never need to pay us anything.
| What it is | A free temp mail service at mailfornet.com: disposable addresses, made in one click |
|---|---|
| Sign-up | None. No account, no password, no phone number, no card |
| Cost | Free, and it stays free. Paid plans are only for permanent addresses |
| How many can I make? | As many as you like. Use one, throw it away, make another |
| How long it lasts | 10 minutes free. On a paid plan, your address never expires |
| How fast mail arrives | Usually seconds. The inbox checks for new mail on its own, so no refreshing |
| Sending mail | Not possible. These addresses only receive |
| Domains | Several, plus other networks, so you can switch when a site blocks one |
| When the timer ends | The address and everything in it are deleted. Nothing is kept |
| Good for | One-off sign-ups, downloads, free trials, café and hotel Wi-Fi, forums, testing your own site |
| Don't use it for | Banking, payments, work, government, or any account you'll need to get back into |
The inbox checks for new messages every few seconds, so you're not sitting there hitting refresh.
If a site rejects one domain, switch networks and try another. Takes two clicks.
No account, no password, no phone number. Emails open in a protected view to keep your device safe.
Addresses expire after 10 minutes and the messages are deleted with them. Need an address that stays? Go permanent.
An address is created the moment you click Generate, and it's already on your clipboard. Free addresses get a random username; paid plans let you pick your own.
Use it on the sign-up form, download page or Wi-Fi portal that's asking for an email.
Verification codes and links land in the inbox below within seconds. When the timer runs out, the address and its mail are gone.
Most people never need to decide: the free address does what they came for and that's the end of it. The only question worth asking is whether you'd miss the address tomorrow. If yes, a paid plan keeps it. If not, stay on the free side, and make as many addresses as you want.

|---|---|---|
| Price | Nothing | $1 for the first month, then $0 a month (the setup fee covers your first month) |
| Address lasts | 10 minutes | As long as you keep the plan |
| Username | Random | Whatever you want, if it's free |
| Account | Not needed | Needed |
| How many addresses | No limit — one after another, as often as you like | 50, 200 or 1,000 live at the same time |
| Mail kept | Until the 10 minutes are up | 200 to 1,000 emails per address |
The whole point of a throwaway address is to keep sites you'll visit once away from your real inbox. Here's what that actually buys you here, and the one place where it stops.
Really free, and there's no counter. Make one, use it, make another whenever you like. No account, no card, no ads. The only thing we charge for is a permanent address with a username you pick, for people who want the address to stay.
10 minutes, which is plenty for a verification code. Most messages arrive within a few seconds.
No, it's receive-only. That's on purpose: it keeps the service from being used to send spam.
No. Temporary email works with no account, password or phone number. You only create an account if you buy a paid plan with permanent addresses.
The inbox opens only in the browser that created the address, so the address on its own isn't enough to read your mail. Still, don't use a temporary address for anything private.
Yes, in most countries it's perfectly legal to use a disposable address instead of your own. Using it for fraud, harassment or to dodge a ban is not allowed under our Terms.
Some sites block known temporary domains. Pick a different network or domain above and try again. It usually works on the second try.
