Why Do We Need a Temp Mail Address?
Websites and online services often require a valid email address to register, access content, or receive updates. However, many of these sites might misuse your email address to send spam or unwanted messages.
A simple way to avoid this is by using a temp mail address when you’re unsure if a website is trustworthy. This helps protect your privacy and keeps your primary inbox free from spam.
How Does a Temp Mail Work?
A temp mail (also known as temporary email, disposable email, or 10-minute mail) functions like any other email address, with a few differences:
- Short lifespan: Temp mail addresses only last from a few minutes to a few days (CrazyMailing retains emails for up to 2 days).
- Receive-only: You can only receive emails; sending emails is not possible.
- Text & HTML only: File attachments are disabled to protect users from harmful content or viruses.
