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.

1

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.

3

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.

4

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.
