Sometimes you have to enter your email address on a website, after which your inbox is bombarded with spam and nonsensical messages. This problem solves Temp Mail. The iOS app gives you a temporary email address so your “real” inbox stays clean.
Temp Mail: temporary email
This makes it an ideal solution for dealing with newsletters, bots and dubious websites. As mentioned, you get a temporary email address from the app with which you can only receive messages, sending is not possible. Temp Mail works very simply:
- Start the app and copy the email address by pressing the button;
- Paste the address in the window of a website or app and press confirm;
- Wait for the message to arrive at your temporary email address;
- You can now read the mail directly from the app.
In addition, you can also download the message if the information turns out to be valuable after all. In reality, you will mainly use Temp Mail for companies or websites that you have to deal with once.

Spam solution
For example, many people use disposable mail to subscribe to newsletters to get a one-time discount code, without being tied to the mailing. It is also an ideal way to pay in webshops that require an e-mail address, without it being necessary. With Temp Mail you keep your ‘real’ email address clear.
As soon as you no longer need the temporary e-mail address, press ‘Change’, after which the account will be deleted including all received messages, your personal data, IP address and possible extra personal details (such as your home address). So pay close attention before pressing this button, because you cannot retrieve the information. You can now get started with a new, temporary email address.
Temp Mail is completely free to use and makes money through advertisements.
