Disposable email
Dropmail.me
DropMail provides disposable email addresses for anonymous website and service registrations, while its GraphQL API creates addresses and handles messages programmatically. The browser mailbox remains valid only until the page is refreshed or closed, so messages needed later must be downloaded first.
This distinction matters to media buyers and developers handling temporary registrations or testing workflows: a browser session and an API session have different retention conditions.

Disposable Addresses Meet Session-Based Access
The provider’s pages describe these features and conditions, checked on 2026-10-31.
- Registration: not required, according to the service.
- Browser mailbox: remains valid until the page is refreshed or closed, according to the service.
- Forwarding: incoming messages can be forwarded to a real email address, according to the service.
- Attachments: email attachments are supported, according to the service.
Anonymous Registration and Temporary Mail
DropMail describes its disposable addresses as a way to register anonymously on websites and services. The provider also says users can create addresses with one click, but that description does not establish how many addresses a particular workflow can use.
For programmatic use, DropMail presents its GraphQL API as a way to create disposable addresses and receive and read messages. The API page names automated testing, onboarding flows, and AI agents as intended use cases. An Android app is also listed by the service.
Page Refreshes and API Sessions Diverge
A browser mailbox and an API session follow separate retention conditions: the browser mailbox lasts until the page is refreshed or closed, while API sessions expire and remove stored email. The service says users who need browser messages later must download them before refreshing.
For API sessions, the provider specifies a default 10-minute lifetime, extended when the session is accessed. Once a session expires, its stored email is removed. The API documentation says the server assigns the username portion of an address and makes it unique, rather than letting users choose it.
Address recovery has a separate limit: the service says addresses on rotating domains cannot be restored after the domain expires, and active forwarding stops. It also says that only addresses, not emails, can be restored. The API applies rate limits to address creation and mail reception, and the provider advises slowing requests when those limits are exceeded.
Free API Tokens Do Not Define Every Cost
The API page says it offers free tokens without requiring sign-up or an account. The provider labels the API beta on its service page.
For AI-assistant access, the provider documents a hosted MCP server that connects to the API without installation or GraphQL knowledge. Its OAuth authorization lets users choose an access duration from 1 to 90 days, and longer periods require a captcha, according to the API page checked 2026-10-31.
The API page says OAuth access tokens have no refresh tokens, and users must authorize again after expiration.
Check Mailbox Continuity Before Relying
Before using a disposable-email service in a live workflow, clarify which operating conditions matter to that workflow.
These questions help distinguish a temporary inbox suitable for a contained task from one being considered for a longer process.
Forwarding, Downloads, and API Access
The provider’s pages describe the following capabilities, checked on 2026-10-31.
- Incoming messages can be forwarded from a temporary address to a real email address.
- Forwarding can be disabled temporarily or permanently, giving the user a documented way to stop that route.
- Emails can be downloaded together in a ZIP archive, which provides a file-based way to retain them outside the browser mailbox.
- The service supports email attachments.
- The API supports GraphQL queries and subscriptions, with real-time notifications through WebSocket or HTTP long-polling.
- A hosted MCP server connects AI assistants to the API without requiring installation or GraphQL knowledge, according to the provider.
Expiry and Recovery Narrow Continuity
The provider’s pages document these limits, checked on 2026-10-31.
- Messages needed after a browser session must be downloaded before refreshing the page.
- Expired API sessions are removed along with their stored email; the provider gives sessions a default 10-minute lifetime, extended when accessed.
- Addresses on rotating domains cannot be restored after the domain expires, and active forwarding stops.
- The provider says address restoration does not restore the emails associated with those addresses.
- API rate limits apply to address creation and mail reception, so automation must account for those request conditions.
- The server assigns each API address’s username portion and makes it unique; users cannot choose it.
Several other details are missing; they are listed under What we could not confirm.
Compare Inboxes by Retention and Control
Compare disposable inboxes by how long messages remain available and what action ends access. Check whether sending is supported, whether an API is available, and what limits apply to each user.
Privacy terms, retention explanations, and paid-plan conditions also matter when a workflow handles messages beyond a short task. Match those criteria to the process before choosing an inbox.
Testing Tasks Need a Defined Retention Path
DropMail’s stated use cases include automated testing, onboarding flows, and AI agents, alongside temporary registrations. The fit depends on whether the task can work within the browser or API retention conditions.
For browser use, messages needed later must be downloaded before refreshing the page. For programmatic work, the API handles address creation and message receipt, but expired sessions and their stored email are removed. A workflow that requires persistent stored email should account for that removal before relying on the service.
What we could not confirm
- Company details: legal entity, address, and operating history.
- Support: contact channels and response times.
- Email domains: available domain choices.
- Sending: whether users can send messages.
- Privacy: statement and specific data-handling terms.
- Per-user limits: disposable-address creation allowances.
- Paid plans: availability, prices, and inclusions.
Questions About DropMail’s Inbox and API
Does DropMail require registration?
DropMail does not require registration, according to the service. That removes an account-creation step for users seeking a temporary address, but the browser mailbox still follows its page-session condition. Consider how the workflow handles messages before using the inbox.
What happens when a browser mailbox page is refreshed?
The browser mailbox remains valid until the user refreshes or closes the page, according to the provider. Messages needed later must be downloaded before refreshing. The page condition means the browser should not be treated as persistent message storage.
Can DropMail forward incoming messages?
DropMail supports forwarding incoming messages from a temporary address to a real email address. The provider says forwarding can be disabled temporarily or permanently. This is a separate route for incoming mail, not a change to the mailbox’s stated retention conditions.
How can users keep copies of emails?
The provider says users can download all emails in a ZIP archive. For browser messages that must remain available after a page refresh, the service instructs users to download them first. The download step is the documented way to retain those messages outside the browser session.
What does the API provide for receiving messages?
DropMail describes its GraphQL API as a way to create disposable addresses and receive and read messages programmatically. It supports GraphQL queries and subscriptions, with notifications through WebSocket or HTTP long-polling. The provider’s API page says sessions have a default 10-minute lifetime, extended when accessed.
Can users choose the username in an API address?
Users cannot choose the username portion of an API address; the server assigns it and makes it unique, according to the provider. This limits control over that part of address creation. The API also applies rate limits to address creation and mail reception.
Choose Only If the Session Conditions Fit
Fits if… temporary registrations or programmatic tasks work with the browser download step or the API’s session-based retention.
Probably not if… the workflow requires stored email to remain available beyond those conditions.
Main risk… losing messages when a browser page is refreshed or an API session expires.
