Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cheapluxury TempMail?

Cheapluxury TempMail is a free temporary email service that provides you with disposable email addresses. You can use these addresses to receive emails without exposing your real email address, protecting your privacy and reducing spam.

How does it work?

Simply visit our website, and we'll automatically generate a random temporary email address for you. You can then use this address to sign up for websites, receive verification codes, or any other purpose. All emails sent to this address will appear in your inbox on our website.

Do I need to register or provide personal information?

No! Our service works without any registration or personal information. We automatically generate a random email and password for you. However, you can optionally create a persistent account if you want to save your temporary email address for longer.

How long do emails stay in my inbox?

Can I send emails from my temporary address?

No, our service only supports receiving emails. You cannot send emails from your temporary address. This is intentional to prevent spam and abuse.

What file types can I receive as attachments?

You can receive most common file types including PDFs, images (JPG, PNG, GIF), documents (DOC, DOCX), and more. However, executable files (.exe) and some potentially dangerous file types may be blocked for security reasons.

Can I download my emails?

Yes! You can download individual emails in .eml format by clicking the "Download .eml" button when viewing an email. This allows you to save important emails before they're automatically deleted.

Is my data secure?

Yes! We use industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption for all connections, secure password hashing, and regular security updates. However, remember that temporary email is designed for non-critical use cases.

Do you read my emails?

No, we do not read your emails. However, we do scan emails for spam and malicious content to protect our service and users. All emails are automatically deleted after the retention period.

What happens to my data when emails are deleted?

When emails are deleted (either automatically after 6d 23h or manually by you), they are permanently removed from our servers. We do not keep backups of deleted temporary emails. This ensures your privacy.

What can I use temporary email for?

Can I use multiple temporary email addresses?

Yes! You can generate a new temporary email address at any time by clicking the "Delete Account" button and creating a new one. Each address is independent and isolated.

Do emails arrive instantly?

In most cases, yes! Emails typically arrive within seconds. However, delivery times may vary depending on the sender's email server. You can manually refresh your inbox by clicking the refresh button.

Is there a limit to the number of emails I can receive?

There's no strict limit on the number of emails you can receive. However, very large volumes of emails may be subject to rate limiting to prevent abuse and ensure service quality for all users.

I'm not receiving emails. What should I do?

The website says my email address is invalid. Why?

Some websites block temporary or disposable email addresses. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about this as it's the website's policy. You may need to use your real email address for those services.

Can I recover deleted emails?

No, once emails are deleted (either automatically or manually), they cannot be recovered. This is by design to protect your privacy. Make sure to download any important emails before they expire.

Why are images not loading in my emails?

For your privacy and security, we block external images by default. External images can be used to track when you open an email and collect information about your device. You can click "Load Images" in the email viewer to manually load them if you trust the sender.

The email content looks broken or formatted incorrectly. Why?

Some emails use complex HTML formatting that may not display perfectly in our email viewer. This is often due to custom fonts, complex CSS, or scripts that we block for security. The content should still be readable, but if you need the exact formatting, download the .eml file and open it in a dedicated email client.

Is there a developer API available?

Yes! We provide a REST API for developers who want to integrate temporary email functionality into their applications. You can create email addresses, check for new messages, and retrieve email content programmatically. Visit our API Documentation for details.

Can I use this service for automated testing?

Yes, Cheapluxury TempMail is perfect for automated testing workflows. You can use our API to create temporary addresses, wait for verification emails, and parse the content - all programmatically. This is ideal for end-to-end testing, CI/CD pipelines, and QA automation.

What domains can I use for my temporary email?

We offer multiple domain options for your temporary email addresses. Different domains may work better with different services (as some websites may block specific domains). You can select your preferred domain when creating a custom email address through the registration feature.

Can I choose my own email address instead of a random one?

Yes! Click "Create Account" and you can specify your own username for the email address. This is useful if you want a memorable address or need a specific format. Note that already-taken usernames will not be available.

How is this different from other temporary email services?

What's the best way to use temporary email?

Is using temporary email legal?

Yes, using temporary email is completely legal. There's nothing illegal about wanting to protect your privacy or avoid spam. However, using temporary email for illegal activities (fraud, harassment, etc.) is prohibited by our Terms of Service and may be reported to authorities.

Do you comply with GDPR and other privacy laws?

Yes, we are committed to complying with applicable privacy regulations including GDPR. We collect minimal data, automatically delete everything after the retention period, and give you the ability to delete your data at any time. See our Privacy Policy for details.

What happens if someone sends illegal content to my temporary email?

You are not responsible for unsolicited content sent to your temporary email address. However, if you become aware of illegal content, you should delete it immediately. We scan for spam and malicious content but cannot guarantee catching everything.
