Frequently Asked Questions

What is this and how do I use it?

Sometimes you need to provide an email address, but you don't want to expose your personal or business accounts to more newsletters, subscriptions, or spam. Emailbin is a public email dumpster. You can use it to create a temporary email address for any purpose in accordance with our Terms Of Service or browse other public inboxes. As of today all inboxes are public, but messages are pruned frequently.

Is it free?

Yes. The core service is free and anonymous. We do not require any personal information. However, the service is provided as-is and we make no guarantees about availability, reliability, or uptime during the beta period. We may add a premium service in the future. In addition, we may include advertisements or sponsored content, but we promise to keep it minimal and unobtrusive to the best of our ability.

Are there any restrictions?

Yes. Here's a list of current restrictions. We can add more at any time.

  • Some internal keywords are unavailable to be used as email addresses.
  • Email addresses that use hateful, violent, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate terms will be blocked.
  • Attachments are supported, but discouraged due to filesize constraints and risk of malware. Not all attachments or large image files that are part of a message are guaranteed to be available. Download files at your own risk.
  • Emails are pruned frequently. The lifespan of an email once recieved can be anywhere from minutes to days. This is not a highly available service.
  • Automated crawling is not allowed.
Can I send email?

No. These are disposable email inboxes designed for throwaway mail only.

How long are emails available?

All messages are pruned frequently. All inboxes should be treated as disposable. During the beta period we have finite storage capacity and cannot guarantee the availability of any message for any length of time. Messages might be unavailable starting anywhere from just a few minutes to several days after they are received. We may add a premium service in the future that offers longer retention periods.
