How Long Does Temp Mail Last?

It depends on which mode you use and whether you have a premium subscription.

Regular Temp Mail

Your temporary email address stays active as long as you keep the page open. Once you leave, the address remains available for several hours before it expires. Messages are stored for 1 day on the free plan and up to 30 days with a premium subscription.

10 Minute Mail

This mode gives you an address that automatically expires after 10 minutes. When the timer runs out, the address is gone and a new one is generated for you. You can reset the timer before it expires to get a fresh 10-minute window.

With a free account, your messages are deleted after 1 day. Premium users get 30 days of storage, which means you can come back weeks later and still read your emails.

What Happens When Temp Mail Expires?

When a temporary address expires, it stops receiving new messages. However, the address is not lost — it's saved in your email history. You can reactivate it at any time and start receiving messages again.

Messages that were already delivered stay available within the storage period (1 day for free, 30 days for premium). After that, they are permanently deleted. Premium users can also save important messages permanently so they won't be lost when the storage period ends.
