Good! Perhaps a smidge slower than some similar services.
Because Maildrop uses greylisting, if a mail is sent from a domain not known to Maildrop you have to wait at least 30 minutes for the mail to arrive in the mailbox. This makes it less usable for one-time use with smaller services (that are likely to unknown to Maildrop).
This is still the case in 2018 : https://maildrop.cc/contact-us says "MAILDROP GREYLISTS EVERY E-MAIL SERVER. If MailDrop receives a message from an e-mail server it hasn't communicated with yet, that server goes onto something called a "greylist", where the server is told it needs to re-try the message after a given period of time. Due to this, messages from new (to MailDrop) servers may be delayed by at least fifteen minutes, and often times up to an hour."
Quite cumbersome.
There are better services that provide totally random domains meanwhile MailDrop is often blacklisted. Also copying the adress is awkward.
It's cool, coz we can customize the username and it's Temp Mail
Not usable, because too slow.
Emails don't arrive, or take forever!
Lets you choose & share the email addy BEFORE it’s even created!
Receiving emails is very slow
