The questions we hear most, about retention, privacy, bulk limits, and reopening a saved address. Still stuck? Reach the team on Facebook or the contact form.
Gmailnator keeps free-tier messages for 24 hours before they're automatically deleted.
No. Every address Gmailnator generates runs on a genuine Gmail domain, not a lookalike temp-mail domain, so the fraud filters that block known disposable-mail providers don't trigger on it.
Every inbox on this site is public: anyone who has the exact address can open it and read its messages. Don't use a Gmailnator address for anything tied to your real identity. For a private inbox, see Gmailnator Premium.
Yes. On the homepage, click "Custom email," paste the exact address Gmailnator generated for you earlier, and click "Go!" to reopen its inbox. This only works for addresses Gmailnator already generated, not for random Gmail addresses.
One at a time from the homepage or 10 Minute Mail, or up to 100 at once from the Bulk Emails page.
No, bulk lists aren't stored anywhere: the page shuffles a fresh set every time you press Generate New. Copy the addresses somewhere safe as soon as they're generated if you plan to reuse them.
Not currently. Gmailnator focuses on real Gmail addresses (plus Gmail's dot and "+" alias variations) because that's what gets accepted everywhere; we don't generate other email domains.
First, click Reload; delivery is usually near-instant but can occasionally lag a few seconds. If nothing arrives after that, the address or the sending service may be having a temporary issue. Contact us with the address and we'll look into it.
