How Long Does Temp Email Last?
Quick Answer
Temp email duration varies by service: TempMailSpot emails last 10 minutes by default but can be extended. Some services offer 1 hour, 24 hours, or until you close the browser.
Temporary email duration varies between services. Understanding expiration times helps you choose the right service and ensures you receive important emails before they disappear.
Standard Expiration Times
Most temp email services expire after: 10 minutes (quick verifications), 1 hour (longer signups), 24 hours (extended use), or session-based (until you close the browser).
TempMailSpot Timing
TempMailSpot starts with a 10-minute timer that you can see on screen. The timer resets when you receive new emails or interact with the inbox. You can also manually extend the time.
When Emails Expire
When a temp email expires: the address becomes invalid, all received emails are permanently deleted, no one can send to that address, and there's no way to recover the data.
Planning for Expiration
If you need more time: keep the tab active, save important information before expiration, or use services with longer expiration. For ongoing needs, create a new temp address.
