Алиасы
An email alias is a forwarding address that allows users to receive emails without disclosing their primary email address. Emails sent to an alias are automatically forwarded to the user’s main inbox, providing a layer of privacy and organization. Aliases feature in AdGuard Mail lets you create multiple email aliases for different platforms and purposes.
Преимущества использования алиасов
Конфиденциальность. При использовании алиаса ваш реальный адрес электронной почты остаётся скрытым от отправителя — вас сложнее отследить, вы меньше подвержены спаму и фишинговым атакам.
Control over incoming emails: If an alias begins to receive unwanted emails, it can be easily disabled, stopping further messages from reaching your main inbox.
Organized email management: Aliases can be created for specific purposes (e.g., shopping, newsletters, use of tools and services, work), which makes organizing and filtering incoming emails easier.
How aliases in AdGuard Mail work
- Open the AdGuard Mail app or the web version.
- Go to Aliases and click Create.
- Assign a name and to the alias for easy identification.
- Specify the recipient email address where forwarded emails should be sent.
- Click Create to save the alias.
Done! Now you can use the created alias when signing up for services or sharing your email address.

Temp Mail
Temp Mail is a feature that generates temporary email addresses designed for short-term use. They also let you provide an email address without the need to reveal your primary one, but unlike aliases, you get the inbox right inside AdGuard Mail.
Benefits of AdGuard Mail’s Temp Mail feature
Instant use: Generate a temporary email address with one click and receive emails — all inside your AdGuard Mail.
Privacy protection: Temporary addresses are perfect for one-time registrations, accessing free trials, receiving verification emails, participating in campaigns and getting promotional coupons without the need to use your regular email address.
Universal access: Your temporary address’s inbox is stored in your account — you can access it on any device just by logging in to AdGuard Mail.
How Temp Mail works
Generate a temporary email address in AdGuard Mail, copy it, and use it anywhere you want online. All the emails sent to this address will be delivered to your Temp Mail inbox.
Aliases vs Temp Mail: When to use each one
When deciding whether to use an alias or a temporary email address, consider:
- The nature and duration of your interaction
- How important is the data you receive via email
- For how long do you want to keep the received emails
Using both features for different purposes lets you make the best of this functionality.
Here’s a comparison of the two features:
| Feature | Aliases | Temp Mail |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Long-term engagements requiring ongoing email communication | One-time use or short-term interactions |
| Privacy level | High – conceals your primary email address; forwards emails to primary email’s inbox | Very high – a unique email address that has a dedicated inbox inside AdGuard Mail so emails don’t appear in your primary inbox |
| Control | Can be disabled or deleted if compromised | Can be instantly deleted permanently along with all inbox data |
| Use cases | Subscriptions, newsletters, online shopping, professional communications | Accessing free trials, passing email verifications, downloading resources, getting promotional coupons |
| Attachment support | Supports forwarding emails with attachments to your personal inbox | Does not support attachments; attachments are removed before email is delivered to Temp Mail inbox |
| Number of addresses | 10 at a time | 1 at a time (can be regenerated unlimited amount of times) |
