Receive-only
TempMy receives incoming messages so you can read links and codes, but it does not send replies.
Low-risk only
Use temporary email for short-lived tasks, not accounts that protect identity, money, health, or long-term access.
Acceptance varies
Some sites require a permanent address. Use temporary email only where it is accepted.
