Compare recorded free plans by storage, phone verification, sending and domain support. Distinguish a lasting mailbox from aliases and temporary inboxes.
A free address can be enough for personal correspondence, but storage, attachment limits and inactivity rules matter over time. Check account recovery before making it your main address.
Free results below require the selected features to coexist in one ongoing free plan. Trials are excluded. A free domain-mail service can still require you to buy a domain.
Choose mailbox hosting if you need an inbox and an address to keep. Check recovery options, registration eligibility and inactivity rules before using it for important accounts. Shared storage can include files and photos; the advertised quota may not all be available for mail.
Forwarding and alias services require a destination mailbox. Compare alias counts, traffic and reply limits. Receiving or replying through an alias does not establish that the free plan can start a new conversation or use your own domain.
Temporary inboxes can be useful for disposable correspondence, but should not hold accounts you need to recover later. Address lifetime, message retention and private access are separate questions. The free table includes these services when they match; its type column distinguishes them from lasting mailboxes.
This table is a fixed reference. Use the directory below to refine your filters. Scroll horizontally to compare all parameters. Expand conditions and sources for plan restrictions.

No. This table requires a recorded ongoing free plan and excludes trials. Free software can still require paid infrastructure, and domain registration may cost extra. Conditions are shown with each plan.
No. A forwarding alias needs another mailbox, and a temporary inbox may lose messages or access. For a main address, check mailbox type, recovery, eligibility, retention and sending limits in the service details.
It depends on the provider and registration conditions. Not confirmed does not mean phone-free, and conditional verification can still require a phone. Two-factor setup may have separate requirements.
Only when that same free plan has confirmed domain support. A provider’s paid domain feature does not apply to its free plan. Domain purchase and renewal remain separate; compare the domain guide for mailbox hosting and forwarding differences.
