AdGuard Temp Mail’s addresses are temporary and aren’t stored long by design:

Emails are automatically deleted 24 hours after you receive them.
A temporary mailbox is deleted after 7 days of inactivity. But if you keep the page open or come back in a couple of days, it won’t disappear.

AdGuard Temp Mail is currently in beta stage. Here’s what we’re planning to add in the future:

Zero-access encryption
TLS support on the SMTP server side
Image proxying
Security checks for links

I'm a big fan of Firefox's email mask feature. Not sure which update it was but recently it showed up when clicking on an email field. FF creates an email address for you and forwards any mail you get to your main email. It's been great for signing up for random crap cus you can just delete the email mask "account" afterwards.

Fastmail also offers this.

Curious to know how many others do as well.

Simplelogin/proton, addy and duckduckgo have an alias service too. I didn't check but I expect tuta, skiff and mailbox to have a similar feature.

I love SimpleLogin. I have my domain pointing to it so I can just do servicename@mydoma.in and it automatically creates the alias, I don't even need to create it beforehand.

Yes, Temporary/Disposable email account is strictly for one time use.

Check out https://port87.com

It’s similar. I made it to solve my spam problem, but it’s also really good for staying organized. When you sign up for something, you can use yourname-whatever@port87.com, then if you don’t want it anymore, you can block that address. Each address has its own label in your account, and blocking the address is just one click.
