Can you choose your own email prefix on Tmailor?

Marcus LeeHow-To & Product Guides Editor

No. Prefixes are generated automatically.

Quick access

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.

🔐 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
