Xeramail is a free temporary email service, also known as disposable email, throwaway email, fake email, burner email, spam email, or 10-minute email. It lets users receive emails without using their real inbox, and is suitable for situations where websites, forums, or Wi-Fi portals require an email address for access. Users generate a temporary address, receive a verification code or confirmation message, and can then continue. The address and its messages are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
Main capabilities
- Generate temporary email addresses: can be randomly generated, or you can choose your own name and supported domain, with no registration required.
- Receive emails in real time: messages arrive in the inbox in real time, with no need to refresh.
- Automatic deletion after 24 hours: all emails and messages are deleted after 24 hours.
- Privacy protection: protected by a key, allowing anonymous use without providing personal information such as name or email.
- Multiple domain choices: multiple domains are available to choose from.
- Multiple inboxes in parallel: you can manage multiple temporary email addresses at the same time.
- Built-in test email tool: a send test email feature for developers.
- Custom domain support (Pro): you can run an inbox on your own domain.
- Optional Pro plan: free addresses live for 24 hours, while Pro can extend this to 30 days, automatically extract one-time verification codes with one-click copy, receive and download attachments, and provide 1 GB of encrypted storage.
- API (30,000 requests/month): used to automate inbox operations in tools.
- Forwarding aliases: provide a permanent alias instead of a real address, forward emails to your real inbox, do not store emails, and allow individual aliases to be disabled to prevent leaks.
How to use It can be used in three steps:
- Generate an address: click to generate a random address, or choose your own name and domain, with no registration required.
- Use it anywhere: paste the address into any signup, trial, or form, and it works like a normal email address.
- Check your email: messages appear instantly, and everything is deleted after 24 hours.
Use cases
- You only want to read a certain article, but the news website requires an email address.
- You sign up for a free trial and do not want to receive marketing emails later or be unexpectedly charged.
- Developers test the email flow they have built to verify whether transactional emails are delivered without polluting their personal inbox.
- Public Wi-Fi portals such as those at airports require an email address to get online.
- You register a secondary account for a specific community (such as Reddit, Discord, or a forum) and do not want it associated with your main identity.
- You shop at an online store you do not plan to visit again, to avoid later promotional emails.
- Social media signup verification.
Data and security
- No account required: basic use requires no name, email, or personal information.
- Deletion within 24 hours: emails and messages are deleted on a timer and are retained for no more than one day.

- No selling or sharing of data: data is not sold or shared with third parties, nor used for targeted advertising.
