Is Temp Mail Safe?

Yes — temp mail is safe for its intended purpose: keeping your real email address private.

What Mail.td does to protect you

  • No personal data required. You don't need to provide your name, phone number, or real email address to use Mail.td.
  • Password encryption. Passwords are encrypted in your browser before being uploaded. The server never sees your plaintext password.
  • TLS encryption. All connections between your browser and Mail.td are encrypted.
  • Automatic deletion. Emails are permanently deleted after up to 7 days. Nothing is archived or retained.

What to keep in mind

  • Temp mail is not end-to-end encrypted. Emails transit through normal mail infrastructure.
  • Don't use temp mail for anything sensitive — bank accounts, government services, or accounts that hold personal or financial data.
  • Temp mail addresses are public-facing. Anyone who knows your address can send you email.

Bottom line: Temp mail is the right tool for protecting your real inbox from spam, newsletters, and one-time signups. It is not a replacement for a secure, private email provider.

Frequently asked questions

Is my temp mailbox visible to other users?

No. Each mailbox is isolated by address. Every mailbox is password-protected — only the password holder can read it.

How does using a temp address protect my real inbox?

The temp address absorbs the verification email, newsletter, or one-time signup so your real email address isn't shared with that service. If the service later has a data breach or sends marketing follow-ups, only the temp address is exposed — your real inbox stays out of the spam loop.

Does Mail.td share mailbox data with third parties?

No. Mail.td doesn't sell mailbox data or share addresses with advertisers. The only third party is Paddle, which handles Pro subscription billing. See the privacy policy for the full list.

Is HTTPS required?

Yes — mail.td redirects all HTTP traffic to HTTPS. The inbox UI, login, and API all run over TLS.

What if a suspicious email arrives in my temp inbox?

Treat temp mail like any inbox — don't click links from senders you don't trust, and don't open attachments from unknown sources. The temp address is reachable by anyone who knows it, so unsolicited mail can arrive. The final judgment is yours.
