Question 1

How does GoneMail work?

Accepted Answer

GoneMail generates a random disposable email address via the Mail.tm API. You use it to receive emails, then the mailbox and all messages are automatically deleted after the chosen duration (1h to 7 days).

Question 2

Is GoneMail free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, GoneMail is completely free. No registration, no payment, no hidden fees. Generate an address and start receiving emails instantly.

Question 3

How long are messages kept?

Accepted Answer

Messages are kept for the duration you choose: 1 hour, 2 hours, 1 day, 2 days, or 1 week. After expiration, everything is permanently and irreversibly deleted.

Question 4

Is GoneMail safe to use?

Accepted Answer

GoneMail uses TLS/HTTPS encryption, stores no personal data, and automatically purges all data after expiration. No cookies, no tracking, no logging of email content.

Question 5

Can I use GoneMail for account verification?

Accepted Answer

Yes, GoneMail works with most online services that require email verification. Simply generate an address, use it to sign up, and check your GoneMail inbox for the verification link.

Question 6

What happens when my mailbox expires?

Accepted Answer

When the timer reaches zero, the mailbox is permanently deleted from our servers along with all received messages. This process is irreversible — no data can be recovered.

Question 7

How does GoneMail protect me from spam?

Accepted Answer

By using a disposable address, you never reveal your real email to websites, forums or services that may sell or misuse it. When you're done, the temporary address disappears — spam simply has nowhere to go.

Question 8

Do you share my data with third parties?

Accepted Answer

No. GoneMail stores no personal data, sells nothing, and shares nothing. We use no tracking cookies and no analytics beyond a basic visit counter. Your mailbox data is never sold or transferred to third parties.

Question 9

Is my real identity protected?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GoneMail requires no signup, no name, no email — you are anonymous by design. The temporary address is completely unrelated to your real identity or your personal inbox.

Question 10

Can I use GoneMail to stop subscription emails?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Use a GoneMail address for newsletters, downloads, forums or trial signups. Unwanted emails land in your temporary inbox instead of your personal one, and vanish automatically when it expires.

Question 11

Does GoneMail work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes, GoneMail is fully responsive and works on any device — smartphone, tablet or desktop. No app to install, just open your browser and generate an address in seconds.

Question 12

Why is GoneMail free?

Accepted Answer

GoneMail is free to keep everyone protected from spam and data collection. The service is financed by non-intrusive advertising, shown only after you give your consent.

Question 13

What makes GoneMail different from a normal email service?

Accepted Answer

A normal email account is permanent, linked to your identity, and targets for spam. A GoneMail address is temporary, anonymous and self-destructing — perfect for one-time use without consequences.

Question 14

Can I receive attachments and HTML emails?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GoneMail supports HTML emails and displays them safely. For maximum security, email content is never stored beyond your chosen retention period and is purged automatically.
