Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is ThrowMail?

ThrowMail is a free temporary email (temp mail) service that lets you create a disposable email address instantly.
You can receive verification emails, OTPs, and sign-up confirmations without revealing your real email ID.
No registration, no spam, and no personal data collection — just fast and secure anonymous email access.

2. How does ThrowMail work?

It's simple:

  1. Visit https://throwmail.org

  2. A random temporary email address is instantly created for you

  3. Use this address anywhere online

  4. Emails you receive appear instantly in your inbox

  5. All emails are automatically deleted after 24 hours

You don't need to create an account or provide any information.

3. Is ThrowMail really free?

Yes!
ThrowMail is completely free to use.
There are no hidden charges, no premium plans, and no sign-up required.

4. How long are emails stored?

All emails are automatically deleted after 24 hours to ensure privacy and keep the system lightweight.
Once deleted, the messages cannot be recovered.

5. Can I send emails using ThrowMail?

No.
ThrowMail is designed only for receiving emails, not sending them.
You can use it to receive verification emails, test emails, or sign-up messages — but not for replying or composing messages.

6. Can I use ThrowMail for account verification?

Yes, you can use ThrowMail to receive one-time verification codes (OTPs) or activation links for testing or temporary sign-ups.
However, since your inbox expires after 24 hours, you should not use it for services that may require long-term email access.

7. Are my emails private?

We respect your privacy.
ThrowMail does not collect personal data or track your activity.
Emails are stored only temporarily and are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
While inboxes are public by nature (no passwords), each address is randomly generated and difficult to guess.

For complete details, please read our Privacy Policy.

8. Can anyone else see my temporary emails?

In general, only you can view the emails received at your generated address as long as you keep the unique inbox URL private.
However, since ThrowMail inboxes are public by design and not password-protected, if someone else guesses your exact address, they could technically view those emails.
We recommend using a unique or custom alias if privacy is crucial.

9. Does ThrowMail store my IP address or personal data?

We do not store or associate IP addresses with email content.
Some non-identifiable technical data (like browser type, country, or visit duration) may be logged for analytics and security — but nothing that can identify you personally.

10. What are cookies used for?

ThrowMail uses cookies to:

  • Maintain basic site functionality

  • Measure website traffic and usage patterns (through analytics)

  • Improve service performance

No personal information is stored in cookies.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.

11. Can I use ThrowMail for illegal activities?

Absolutely not.
ThrowMail is meant for testing, privacy protection, and spam avoidance, not for spam, scams, or fraudulent activity.
Any detected abuse may result in a ban or IP block.

12. Are emails secure and encrypted?

All connections to ThrowMail use HTTPS encryption, which means your session and inbox data are encrypted in transit.
However, as the service is public and temporary, you should not use it for sensitive data such as banking, password resets, or confidential documents.

13. Why didn't I receive my email or OTP?

Sometimes emails may not arrive because:

  • The sender blocks temporary email domains

  • There's a delay or spam filter on the sender's side

  • The message contains blocked content or attachments

  • The service you're using doesn't allow disposable email addresses

If that happens, try refreshing your inbox or generating a new address.

14. Do you share data with advertisers or third parties?

No.
ThrowMail does not sell, rent, or share your data with any third-party advertisers.
We only use anonymous analytics to improve performance.

15. Can I recover a deleted email or expired inbox?

Unfortunately, no.
Once an email or inbox is deleted (either automatically after 24 hours or manually), it is permanently removed from our system and cannot be restored.

16. Can I create multiple temp mail addresses?

Yes!
You can generate as many temporary email addresses as you like — there's no limit.
Each address works independently and follows the same 24-hour expiry rule.

17. Is ThrowMail safe to use?

Yes.
ThrowMail is designed with privacy and safety in mind.
Your connection is encrypted, we don't track users, and all data is deleted after 24 hours.
That said, never use it for sensitive communications or long-term account management.

18. Can I request removal of a specific email or domain?

If you believe your email domain or message has been used abusively through ThrowMail, please contact us through the abuse report form on our website.
We take misuse seriously and respond promptly to valid removal requests.

19. Does ThrowMail support attachments?

Yes, small attachments can be received if supported by the sender, but large files or certain content types may be filtered or blocked for security reasons.

20. Where are ThrowMail's servers located?

All ThrowMail servers are hosted in the United States (USA) to ensure fast performance and reliable uptime.

21. Do you plan to add new features?

Yes!
We continuously improve ThrowMail based on user feedback — including faster delivery, better spam filtering, and mobile-friendly optimizations.
