Can I choose a custom email prefix on tmailor.com?
No, you cannot choose a custom email prefix on tmailor.com. All temporary email addresses are generated randomly and automatically by the system. This deliberate design protects users' privacy and prevents abuse or impersonation.
A custom prefix refers to the part of the email address before the @, such as yourname@domain.com. On tmailor.com, this portion is created using random characters and cannot be customized or renamed.

✅ Summary
🔐 Why Randomized Prefixes?
The restriction on custom email prefixes helps:
- Prevent impersonation (e.g., fake paypal@ or admin@ addresses)
- Reduce spam and phishing risks
- Avoid username collisions
- Maintain high deliverability across all users
- Ensure fair access to inbox names
These measures are part of tmailor.com's core principles: security, simplicity, and anonymity.
📌 What If I Want Control Over the Email Prefix?
If you need to set your own email prefix (e.g., john@yourdomain.com), tmailor.com offers an advanced custom domain feature where:
- You bring your own domain
- Point the MX records to tmailor
- You can control the prefix (but only for your domain)
However, this feature only applies when using your own private domain, not the public domains provided by the system.
✅ Summary
- ❌ You cannot choose a custom prefix on default tmailor.com domains
- ✅ You can set custom prefixes only if using your own domain
- ✅ All default addresses are generated automatically to ensure anonymity
