Frequently asked questions
What is temporary email?
Temporary email is a disposable email address designed for short-term use. It can help keep your primary inbox separate from websites and services that you don't want to give your normal email address to.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Vanish is designed to work without a traditional username, password or registration process.
Can I send emails from Vanish?
Vanish is designed for receiving temporary email. Sending email is not currently supported.
Should I use Vanish for important accounts?
No. Temporary email should not be used for banking, account recovery, medical records, important personal accounts or anything where losing access to the inbox could cause a problem.
Is Vanish completely anonymous?
A temporary email address can reduce the amount of personal information you provide to another website, but it should not be treated as a guarantee of complete anonymity.
How long do temporary emails last?
Temporary inboxes are designed to be short-lived. Messages may expire automatically, so Vanish should never be treated as permanent email storage.
Designed for temporary use
Vanish is built around disposable inboxes rather than permanent email accounts. Use a temporary address when you need one, then delete it when you're finished.
Don't use temporary email for passwords, account recovery, banking, healthcare, legal records, or other information you cannot afford to lose.
