Why Should You Use a Disposable Email Account?

Disposable email accounts are temporary addresses you can use for single, specific purposes, such as making a one-time purchase or registering for a discount code at your favorite online shop. Once you have fulfilled the task you needed the address for, you can permanently discard it.


Disposable email accounts minimize spam and block phishing and other online threats from reaching your inbox. They are particularly useful for situations where you only need an email address for a short time and do not intend to use it consistently.


By keeping your identity hidden, these burner email addresses significantly reduce your risk of exposure to data breaches and do not require you to give away your primary address to several (potentially sketchy) websites and services. Preserve the sanctity of your primary email and anonymity of your interactions using StartMail’s personal, burner, or domain aliases.

Disposable Email Alias Options

Generate unlimited addresses for any activity without the pressure of long-term obligation. Register for an event, sign up for a free trial, or perform a one-time verification and discard the address once your goal has been accomplished.


StartMail offers three different alias options to enhance your email privacy and organization:


  1. Personal aliases: Customizable email addresses in @use.startmail.com for quick, easy email oversight.
  2. Burner aliases: Systematically generated email addresses that last for one hour.
  3. Domain aliases: Set up aliases with your own domain for multiple recipients.


With personal and custom domain aliases, you can send and receive emails from an email address other than your regular StartMail address. If you are managing several aliases at once, you can easily filter them by creation date or address.
