Can You Send Emails with Temp Mail?

Quick Answer

Most temp mail services are receive-only. TempMailSpot focuses on receiving emails. Some services offer limited sending, but this isn't a core temp mail feature.

Temporary email services are primarily designed for receiving emails. The sending functionality varies by service, but there are good reasons why receiving is the focus.

1

Why Temp Mail is Receive-Only

Most temp mail services don't offer sending because: sending requires spam prevention measures, it increases abuse potential, the use case is receiving verifications not correspondence, and it complicates the simple user experience.

2

Do You Need to Send?

Consider why you might want to send: for email verification, you only need to receive. For testing, you can send from another account. For anonymous communication, dedicated services exist for that purpose.

3

Alternatives for Sending

If you need anonymous sending: some temp services offer limited sending, ProtonMail offers encrypted free accounts, or create a dedicated email for sending that's not linked to your identity.
