About TempMails

TempMails is an independently operated temporary email service. It issues a working receiving address in seconds, without an account, so a message you would rather not have in your permanent mailbox can land somewhere disposable instead. This page states who runs it, where it runs from, what it does today, and what it is not built to do.

Founder & Operator

TempMails is founded and operated by Samir Giri, who is the only person accountable for it. That is a deliberate statement rather than a modest one: there is no support department, no legal team and no engineering organisation behind this service. One operator writes the code, runs the infrastructure, answers the mailbox, and is responsible for every policy published here.

• Operator. Samir Giri — Founder & Operator.
• Operating location. India.
• Launched. August 2026.
• Business contact. founder@tempmails.live, the same address published on the contact page.
• Structure. An independent organisation operated by its founder. No registration identifier, funding round, parent brand or platform endorsement is claimed on this site, because none has been evidenced to substantiate one.

Anyone assessing a service needs to know that the people behind it are identifiable and reachable. The company page carries this same identity as a single verification-friendly summary, generated from the same record this page uses, so the two cannot drift apart.

The mission

The goal is narrow on purpose: give anyone a working inbox in seconds, with no registration, that expires on a timer — and be precise about what that does and does not protect. Most disappointment with temporary email comes from assuming a guarantee the format never offered, so this site spends more words on the limits than on the benefits.

What the service does today

Every capability below is running in production, not planned. Nothing in this table describes an intention.

The countdown on your inbox page is the authoritative expiry time, and the current starting duration and maximum lifetime are printed alongside it on this site rather than promised in an article.

How a temporary inbox behaves

An address is generated on demand and shown to you immediately. From that point the inbox accepts incoming mail for a fixed window, and the countdown in the page is what ends your access. Three details follow from that design and are worth understanding before you rely on it:

• The address is not reserved for you. Nobody registers it, so nobody owns it once the window closes.
• Expiry is not a countdown to deletion of a message you can rescue. When access ends, the mail stops being reachable through this service.
• The inbox is bound to the browser that created it. A private access cookie keeps the session, and the recovery token shown at creation is the only way to reopen the same inbox elsewhere.

What TempMails is not for

A short-lived inbox is the wrong tool whenever the message matters later. Do not use it for banking or payment notifications, purchases you may need to document, password recovery, or an account you intend to keep. Do not use it to impersonate anyone, to evade a ban, or to receive anything you would not want a third party to see. Those uses are outside what the service is built for, and the acceptable use policy sets out the boundary in detail. Read it alongside the terms before you create an inbox.

How the service is funded

TempMails is supported by advertising. Ad units on the public pages are served by third-party networks, and the privacy policy describes what those networks and their scripts receive. Advertising does not influence editorial content: no guide here is written to promote an advertiser, and no advertiser reviews an article before publication. There is no subscription tier, no data sale, and no investor whose return has to be produced from your mail.

What is being built next

The AI roadmap describes the four inbox features the operator intends to evaluate, which ones are genuinely live today, and the conditions — including explicit consent and a revised privacy notice — that would have to be met before any of them processes a real message. Until those conditions are met, no message is sent to an AI provider, and the site makes no claim to the contrary.

How the guides here are written

Guides on this site explain how temporary email behaves and where it fails. Each one is drafted against a defined question, checked against the primary source it cites — a provider's own documentation, a standards document, or a regulator's guidance — and reviewed before publication. Articles carry a publication date, and they are revised when the underlying behaviour changes rather than being rewritten to look fresh. Where a topic depends on a provider's published limits, the article names the provider so you can verify the claim yourself instead of taking our word for it.

Drafts may be prepared with AI assistance. That is a production method, not an authority of its own: nothing generated is published until it has been checked line by line against the cited material, and any sentence that cannot be traced back to a source is cut. AI is not used to process mail that arrives in a temporary inbox, and it does not decide what this site claims.

Corrections and contact

The fastest way to improve this site is to tell us what is wrong. If a guide contradicts the service, or a source we relied on has changed, send the page address and the specific point through the contact page. Corrections that can be verified against a source are applied to the article, and the article's revision date changes. Business and partnership enquiries go to the same mailbox and are read by the operator.
