Permanent email forwarding
One website, one email alias
Incoming mail is sent automatically to your real inbox. If an alias attracts spam, pause just that alias instead of changing your primary email.

Share one less identity clue
A one-time address in front of your real inbox
Not every form needs your everyday email. Fwdaway gives temporary addresses the one-off verification and inbox tasks, keeping account testing, downloads, and unfamiliar services separate.
Cleaned up automatically
The default lifetime is 3 hours and can be reset when needed. Each address lasts no longer than 24 hours. When it expires, the address and its messages are deleted.
Separation, not disguise
Disposable email can receive mail but cannot send it. Use it to reduce marketing tracking and spam—not to impersonate someone or bypass platform rules.
From address to verification code
A clean inbox in three steps
- 01
Copy the current address
Click the main button and enter the address on the website where you need to register, verify an account, or download something.
- 02
Stay on the page
No need to refresh repeatedly. New messages appear in the list automatically, or you can click “Check for new mail.”
- 03
Read it and move on
Retrieve the code or confirmation link. When you’re done, change the address immediately or let the inbox expire on schedule.

When you need an address that lasts
Create an email alias while mail still reaches your primary inbox
Permanent forwarding aliases are ideal for shopping, job applications, memberships, and other ongoing relationships. Use a different alias for each website to spot spam at a glance and pause it individually.
Alias limitUp to 100 per account
Online archiveRetained for 30 days
Sign-in method6-digit email code, no password
Attachment handlingForwarded and archived up to 50 MB
Open the forwarding dashboard
Enter the real email where you want forwarded messages delivered. Your account is created automatically the first time you sign in—we never ask you to set a password.
The code has 6 digits and can be resent after 60 seconds. Sessions last up to 7 days; accounts with two-step verification also require a one-time passcode.
Know the boundaries
Different inbox tasks call for different addresses
Disposable email is short-term, lightweight, and easy to forget; forwarding aliases are for ongoing relationships. Understand how each stores mail before choosing.
Attachments aren’t retained
The list indicates when the original message includes an attachment, but attachment contents are not stored or downloaded. Messages over 100 MB are rejected.
Handled by size
Messages up to 50 MB are forwarded and archived with attachments; 50–100 MB messages are forwarded without retaining attachments; messages over 100 MB are rejected.
Receive only, never send
Fwdaway is not an outbound email service. Neither disposable addresses nor forwarding aliases can be used to send email proactively.
Pick the right tool
Three ways to receive mail, and where each ends
The most common question behind searches like “temp mail vs email alias” is simply which tool fits which task. One table settles it — most spam starts with the wrong choice.
| Dimension | Temporary inbox | Forwarding alias | Your real address |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifetime | 3 hours, up to 24 max | Permanent, pause any time | Permanent |
| Account needed | None | Email code sign-in, no password | — |
| Password resets later | No — gone at expiry | Yes — mail reaches your real inbox | Yes |
| Best for | Codes, trials, downloads | Shopping, job hunting, newsletters | Banking, health, work |
| Spam isolation | Throw the address away | Pause one alias per source | None |
Both Fwdaway address types are receive-only. They cannot send mail or impersonate anyone.

Frequently asked questions
What you may want to know first
Can an anonymous email receive verification codes?
Yes, as long as the sender allows delivery to the domain, verification codes usually arrive within seconds. Some platforms block disposable email domains, which is their registration policy and cannot be bypassed by Fwdaway.
What if my disposable inbox doesn’t receive mail?
First, make sure the address was copied correctly and click “Check for new mail.” Mail providers occasionally delay delivery. If nothing arrives after a few minutes, request another message from the sender or try again with a new disposable address.
Will my original inbox still be there after I refresh the page?
Yes. Access credentials are stored in both the current link and your browser locally, so you can continue accessing the inbox while the address is active. Don’t share the full link containing the credentials—anyone with it can view the inbox.
Is disposable email suitable for important accounts?
No. Once the address expires, it cannot be recovered and cannot support long-term tasks such as password resets. Use a real email or forwarding alias that you control long term for banking, healthcare, work, and accounts requiring ongoing recovery access.
Will an email alias hide my real address?
Senders only see the Fwdaway alias you provide, and the system forwards messages to your real inbox. Replies may reveal your real address, so check the sender information shown by your mail client before replying.
