A temporary email address (also known as Temp Mail or Disposable Mail) is a "use-and-throw" email service that is valid for a specific period and then self-destructs, created to protect your real and permanent email address.
The main purpose of these addresses is to ensure your digital privacy. When registering on an unfamiliar website, signing up to download an e-book, or during a trial phase for a service, you can use these temporary addresses instead of providing your primary email address. This way, you prevent your main inbox from being filled with spam, advertisements, and unwanted messages. You also minimize the risk of your personal information falling into the hands of marketing companies.
Using temporary email addresses is quite simple; it does not require any registration or personal information. You just need to visit a relevant service's website, copy the automatically generated address, and use it. The lifespan of an address typically varies from 10 minutes to a few hours, and once this time expires, the address and all emails in its inbox are permanently deleted.
