I've been using Temp Mail for growing new Reddit accounts manually. They've all seemed to be moderate CQS, meaning that Reddit does not think it's a spam account. However, the issue is over the long term, Temp Mail cannot recover accounts. If I don't login to those Reddit accounts for a very long time, it would trigger Reddit's password/email reset. Because Temp Mail doesn't give you access to the email after some time, effectively an account that triggers pass/email reset is basically banned.

What are some good bulk email providers? I don't want to use GMail because it's a pain in the butt to have to use phone verification services every time I login to this. Are there any good email providers that I can use and make an account without requiring any sort of phone verification? Temp Mail emails expire so I want something where I can relogin back to the email account afterwards just in case.

You should use real, long-term login email providers like ProtonMail, Tutanota, Zoho, or Yandex/Mail.ru (little or no phone verification) and avoid temp mail to prevent losing accounts when Reddit requires a reset.
 
A practical and scalable solution is to move to recoverable, persistent email providers, and in this case Outlook / Hotmail is the most suitable alternative.

Recommended Solution: Outlook / Hotmail (Microsoft Mail)​


Why Outlook/Hotmail works well for Reddit:
  • Emails are permanent and recoverable (no expiration like Temp Mail)
  • Stable reputation with Reddit (commonly used, low friction)
  • Supports bulk creation workflows
  • Phone verification is not always required, especially when accounts are created gradually and normally
  • Full access to inbox later for password resets, security alerts, and recovery

Advantages over Gmail​

  • Gmail frequently enforces phone verification and re-verification on login
  • Outlook/Hotmail is generally less aggressive with phone prompts
  • Easier to re-login after long inactivity without forced verification
  • Better balance between trust and usability for long-term account storage

Best Practices When Using Outlook/Hotmail​

  • Keep login behavior consistent (same device/IP when possible)
  • Add a recovery email where supported
  • Log in periodically (even once every few weeks) to keep the mailbox “active”
  • Avoid treating the inbox as dormant for months at a time

You can post WTB section if you want any providers.​

 
temp emails are flagged by reddit, best options are outlook/Gmail
 
I would suggest Outlook or Yandex for this purpose.
 
Yeah temp mail is useless for anything long-term. Lost a few accounts that way.

I've been using Yandex mostly. It's Russian but works fine and they may ask for phone verification. Created like 1-2 accounts from same IP no problem. The interface looks kinda dated but whatever, it works.

ProtonMail is another option but they're more strict about multiple signups from same IP. Use a VPN and you're fine though. At least the emails don't expire on you.

Also tried Tutanota once, seemed okay. Less annoying than Gmail but not as easy as Yandex.

One thing - don't use the same email provider for all your Reddit accounts. Mix it up. I learned this the hard way when Reddit flagged like 3 accounts at once because they all came from the same Yandex domain lol. Now I rotate between different providers.

Oh and keep a spreadsheet or something to track which email goes with which account. You'll thank me later when you're trying to recover account #8 and can't remember which email you used.

Gmail has a fair amount of email accounts you're allowed to register. I think it's 5 per phone number
 
If you’re letting accounts sleep, persistent inbox access is non-negotiable in my experience.

Most people solve this by using real but low friction providers not temp mail.

Proton tutanota toho or even cheap custom domains work because the account stays recoverable and doesnt trigger the same trust issues.
 
You could also consider setting up a dedicated email server with your own domain. It gives full control, long term access and avoids dependency on third party services while keeping account recovery straightforward.
 
Honestly, I think that only Yahoo Mail would be at the same level compared to Outlook and Gmail

But other ones could be ProtonMail or Yandex, but not so reliable for Reddit

Temp mails are waste of time. Mail.ru is the kind of email provider widely considered spammy.
 
Using privacy focused email services that allow long term access without frequent verification can keep your reddit accounts secure and fully recoverable over time.
 
Okay so I tried Proton Mail using an anti-detect browser. No bot registration. It worked at first as I was able to get a Reddit code to confirm email. However, because detect browsers work on a session basis, as soon as I close the browser, ProtonMail logs me out. And when I try to log back in, it asks me to type an email for verification. No VPN or bad proxy was used. Proxy had very low fraud score.

Yeah I don't know if I can trust ProtonMail for long term unless I have a bunch of spare Gmail/Outlooks lying around.
 
Outlook allows for 3 alias per newly created account (email backup needed but not PVA) and up to 10 for aged accounts. This will solve your problem with the occasional time you need to retrieve mail to it. You can remove them and add the alias back when you need to receive a confirmation code or reset the password if you don’t want to have multiple accounts or leave them on the account and have additional accounts to be safe that somebody doesn’t take the email username. To Reddit they are all unique outlook emails.
 
I currently use Yandex, Zoho, and Tutanota mail. Recently, I started following another approach: I purchase a domain at a cheap price, connect it with inexpensive hosting, and then create webmail for that domain.
 
Temp email was fine at first, but if left for too long, the account would be lost because it couldn't be recovered. Then I switched to using email with my own domain so each account had its own email, and I could still log in normally without needing a phone
