What is Self-Destruct Email (Disposable / Temporary Email)?
Self-destruct email—also called disposable email, temporary email, burner email, or throwaway email—is an instant, short-lived mailbox that auto-deletes itself and its messages. It’s ideal when a site needs an address for a verification code or confirmation link, and you don’t want to expose your primary inbox to spam or tracking.
How self-destruct email works
- Generate a random inbox or pick a custom username on our supported domains.
- Receive messages in seconds (OTP codes, sign-up links, one-off notifications).
- Sanitized viewing—we strip scripts/unsafe tags before rendering HTML in your browser.
- Auto-delete—the mailbox and its emails expire quickly to minimize data retention.
Best uses for disposable / temp mail
- Trying apps, newsletters, beta programs, and gated downloads without inbox clutter.
- Receiving single-use verification links or one-time passcodes (for low-risk accounts).
- Reducing spam, trackers, and unwanted marketing email in your real mailbox.
When NOT to use self-destruct email
- Banking, password recovery, tax/medical/legal correspondence, purchases, or receipts you must keep.
- Anything you will need later—these inboxes are intentionally ephemeral.
Self-Destruct Email vs. regular email
Regular accounts (Gmail, Outlook, iCloud) are persistent, identity-tied, and built for long-term messaging. Self-destruct / disposable email is ephemeral and privacy-first—perfect for quick sign-ups and verifications. Using both gives you convenience without sacrificing your main address.
Tips for better privacy
- Use a unique custom username so your inbox is harder to guess.
- Copy important codes immediately; once expired, messages are gone.
- Be careful with links and attachments—only open content from trusted senders.
