Temp mail benefits, permanently
A private email address that stays yours
Private Emails gives you permanent addresses you own on premium domains, with a PIN-protected inbox, verified forwarding to your real email, and reserved custom prefixes. The same shield as temp mail, with your mail kept for your plan's full retention period.
- Premium domains
- PIN-protected inbox
- Verified forwarding
The basics
What is a private email address?
A private email address is a permanent address that belongs to you but is not your real inbox. You give it to shops, newsletters and services instead of your main email, so your real address stays out of their databases, breach dumps and marketing lists.
Mail Vanish Private Emails puts that address on a premium domain, keeps its mail, blocks trackers exactly like our free temp mail, and lets you seal it with a PIN or forward it to the inbox you already read. Think of it as a secure email address you keep, rather than one you throw away.

What you get
Private email features a disposable inbox can't match
Free temp mail is built to disappear. These addresses are built to stay - with the same tracker-blocking, sandboxed reading experience underneath.
PIN-protected inbox
Add a PIN to any private address and its messages stay sealed until you enter it - even inside your own dashboard.
Verified forwarding
Forward incoming mail to your real inbox. Forwarding only activates after the target address confirms a verification link.
Premium domains
Private Emails domains are not part of the public disposable pools, so they avoid the blocklists that reject shared temp mail domains.
90-day message retention
Messages are kept for 90 days on your plan, then pruned on schedule - long enough to be useful, never hoarded.
Attachments up to 25 MB
Receive attachments streamed through our servers with content-type validation, on every private address.
