Company Overview
YOPmail was founded in 2005 by French developer Yann. The name "YOPmail" stands for "Yann's One Page mail". Headquartered in France, YOPmail is a popular disposable email address service. Originally built on Flash technology, it has fully transitioned to HTML5 and Ajax architecture. Users can create any @yopmail.com email address without registration and enjoy a persistent inbox where emails are never automatically deleted — a key differentiator from most temporary email services.
