Question 1

What is a temp mail (disposable email address)?

Accepted Answer

A temp mail is a temporary email address you can create in seconds without signing up. Use it to receive verification codes and newsletters without giving out your real email, and keep your real inbox free of spam.

Question 2

Is Silent Mail free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Creating temporary email addresses and receiving messages is 100% free, with no registration required.

Question 3

Can I send email with Silent Mail?

Accepted Answer

Silent Mail is engineered primarily for receiving verification codes and disposable messages. Outgoing emails are strictly rate-limited and monitored to prevent spam abuse and protect our server reputation.

Question 4

How long are my messages kept?

Accepted Answer

Messages and addresses are stored purely in volatile memory (RAM) and automatically purged after their configured retention window. No copies or logs are ever written to persistent disk storage.

Question 5

What happens if I lose my access key?

Accepted Answer

Then your mailboxes are gone for good. We don't store the key and can't recover it — that's the price of real anonymity. Download it as a file or write it down when you create it.

Question 6

Are tracking pixels blocked?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All remote tracking pixels, third-party analytics beacons, hidden tracking stylesheets, and external script injections are automatically sanitized and stripped from incoming emails.

Question 7

Can someone take over my deleted address?

Accepted Answer

No. Once an address is deleted or expired, its routing hash is permanently retired to ensure no third party can ever claim it or intercept messages intended for you.

Question 8

Is there an API?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a comprehensive high-speed REST API with token authentication, live polling endpoints, and automated inbox creation for CI/CD, testing, and developer integrations.
