What is A Disposable Email?

How Do I Generate A Disposable Email?

How Do I Delete a Disposable Email?

Log in to your account and then click manage spam. From there you can select the delete button on any of your disposable email accounts to remove that address from the face of the earth. After removing an address, you will never receive any forwarded messages from them ever again.

Why Don't I See Forwarded Messages in my Personal Inbox?

If you've given out a disposable email address and haven't seen any forwarded messages, first check to see if our server got the message by logging in, and then going to manage spam. From here you can check to see if you've received any emails.

If you see that we got the message but it was not forwarded to your inbox, check your spam folder on your personal account. If you still cannot find the email send yourself a quick test email to your disposable address. Make sure to put in a subject and a message in the body so it doesn't get tagged by your mail server as spam.

If after sending yourself an email message, you still don't get anything forwarded to you please contact us and let us know your disposable email address. We will investigate why you aren't receiving forwarded messages.

How Do I Know that my Information is Secure?

How Do I Know Whyspam Won't Sell my Information?

Even though that would defeat the whole purpose of the site, it is good that users are wary of giving their email to anyone. The only way we will continue to receive repeat users is by providing quality spam tools with great user experiences. We rely on word of mouth instead of an expensive advertising budget, so we can't afford to have people bad mouthing our service. Don't believe it? Generate a disposable email address and don't give it to anyone, you shouldn't receive any messages...it's that simple.

Sure its possible spammers could foil this test by sending out messages to every email @whyspam.me but they would have to send out every letter-number A-Z and 0-9 for twenty characters thats 36 to the power of 20 which is 13,367,494,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible combinations just to find your single disposable email. We're not saying it's not possible...just that its really not very economical for them.

How Does Whyspam cover its costs?

We pay for our costs with non-invasive and small text ads. We're always looking for new tools to develop and maybe one of them could be commercialized.
