All your questions, clear answers

A temporary email is a disposable address that lets you receive messages without using your real address. Perfect for registrations, downloads, or any situation where you want to protect your personal address from spam.

It's instant: choose a username (3–32 characters), select a domain, and click Access my mailbox. No registration, no password. You go straight to your inbox.

Emails are kept for 7 days then automatically deleted to protect your privacy. Save important content before this deadline — deletion is permanent.

No, the service is receive-only. Sending emails is disabled to prevent abuse and spam. mail123.click is designed to receive confirmation, verification and notification emails.

No personal data is collected. No registration, no tracking cookies, no third-party sharing. Emails are deleted after 7 days. Your anonymity is guaranteed by design.

Yes! As long as you remember the username, you can come back at any time. Just type the same name to find your mailbox and all emails not yet deleted.

Yes, 100% free, with no usage limits. No subscription, no hidden payments. Non-intrusive ads may appear to fund the service, but access remains completely free.

Check that you used the correct address. Some services take a few minutes to send. Refresh the mailbox manually. If the problem persists, the destination site may be blocking temporary addresses.

Yes! Attachments are automatically detected and downloadable from the email view. The name, size and type are displayed. The maximum size per email is 5 MB.

Yes, HTML emails display with their styles and images. Newsletters and marketing emails are perfectly readable. A Plain text tab is available for the text version of each email.

Yes! All 12 domains point to the same mailbox. yourusername@mail123.fr and yourusername@mail456.fr arrive in the same place.

Your mailbox can hold up to 100 emails. Beyond that, the oldest are automatically deleted. The mailbox updates every 30 seconds.

Completely. No IP, no tracking cookies, no registration. Nobody can link your temporary address to your real identity. Anonymity guaranteed by design.

Deletion is immediate and permanent. Emails cannot be recovered once deleted. Be careful before using the Delete all function.

Yes, some sensitive services (banks, social networks) block disposable addresses. In that case, a real address is needed. mail123.click is ideal for non-critical registrations where you want to avoid spam.

Absolutely. The interface is fully responsive, optimised for smartphones, tablets and computers. Managing your temporary emails on the go is perfectly smooth.

Yes, you freely choose the username: 3–32 characters, letters, numbers, dots, hyphens and underscores. Use the Generate button for a unique random username, or type your own directly.

Using a disposable email is perfectly legal in France, Europe, and most countries. It's even encouraged by data protection authorities (CNIL in France) to limit tracking exposure. The only limit: some platforms (banks, government services, legal signatures) require a permanent address for identity verification — use your real address only for those specific cases.

Disposable email services look similar on the surface but differ on key points: hosting (mail123.click is hosted in France at OVH, GDPR-compliant; some competitors are in the US), API and widget (we offer a public API and a JavaScript embed widget, few competitors do), radical transparency (our statistics are public and our privacy policy is detailed). See the detailed comparison for precise differences.

For social networks, create your mail123.click inbox and use it during signup. Warning: some platforms (LinkedIn notably) block disposable emails at registration. If blocked, try another of our 12 domains. Once registration is validated, notifications arrive normally in your inbox. Important note: inboxes are public by design — don't use mail123.click if losing access to the account would have serious consequences (work account, paid subscription, etc.).

We apply GDPR via minimization (article 5.1.c): we collect only what's strictly necessary for the service to function. Your emails are deleted after 7 days (article 5.1.e). No account creation, no user profile, and no advertising cookie without your consent. For full details — subcontractors (OVH, Bunny CDN), retention periods, your 7 GDPR rights (access, rectification, erasure, etc.) — see our privacy policy.

As with any mailbox, you can receive phishing emails. Never click suspicious links and don't enter sensitive credentials. Important specificity of disposable inboxes: since they are public by design (anyone knowing the alias can read received mails), never use mail123.click for sensitive information — banks, critical passwords, 2FA codes, high-value credentials.

No. Mailbox pages are not indexed by search engines. Our robots.txt explicitly blocks /mailbox/* and /mail/* URLs, and we return an X-Robots-Tag: noindex HTTP header on those pages. Inboxes remain however accessible to anyone directly knowing the alias (public reading by design).

mail123.click is an independent project developed by Vincent (see the About page). The service is funded by non-intrusive ads via networks (Google AdSense, Adsterra) covering the hosting costs (OVH server in France) and domain names. No personal data is sold to third parties. No investor, no funding round — just a dev paying his own bills. See our public statistics to understand actual service usage.

Yes! mail123.click offers a complete REST API, fully documented. You can create inboxes, list/read/delete emails, and fetch attachments — all in JSON, with no authentication or API key. Ideal for automating signup tests, CI/CD integrations, or feeding QA tools. Documentation: /api. Public statistics also exposed via /api/stats/export.json (CC-BY 4.0 license).

mail123.click offers an exclusive JavaScript embed widget. A single line of code (<script src='https://mail123.click/static/js/embed.js'>) embeds a temporary inbox in your website, perfect for tutorials, product demos, test environments or onboarding. Tailwind compatible, auto dark/light mode, responsive. See /widget for code and customization options.

We publish in real-time and transparently all our statistics on the stats page: number of mails received (cumulative historical + current state), top sender domains, hourly activity, size distribution. Data under CC-BY 4.0 license, downloadable in JSON or CSV. "Radical transparency" approach — rare in the disposable email industry.
