Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our temporary email service

What is DropMailer?

DropMailer is a free temporary email service that provides you with disposable email addresses. You can use these addresses to protect your privacy when signing up for websites, downloading files, or any situation where you don't want to use your real email address.

How long do temporary emails last?

Your temporary email address remains active as long as you keep the browser tab open. Messages are automatically deleted after a certain period to maintain system performance and privacy.

Is DropMailer really free?

Yes, DropMailer is completely free to use. We support our service through non-intrusive advertisements. No registration or payment is required.

Can I send emails from my temporary address?

No, DropMailer only receives emails. It's designed for one-way communication to protect your privacy when you need to receive confirmation emails, downloads, or other incoming messages.

Are there any limitations?

Yes, there are some reasonable limitations to prevent abuse:

  • Maximum of 10 email addresses per IP address per day
  • Maximum of 15 messages per email address
  • Attachment size limits apply
  • Certain file types may be blocked for security

Is my data secure?

What domains are available?

Can I choose my own email address?

Do you provide an API?

What if I don't receive an email?

If you're not receiving emails, please check:
