Temporary Email

A disposable inbox for inspecting live incoming email.

Getting started

  1. 1. Generate an address below.
  2. 2. Use it to sign up for a test account, or send it a test email.
  3. 3. Incoming mail appears here within a few seconds.

Messages (0)

Generate an address above to start listening.

Mail sent to your temporary address is stored only so you can inspect it live. After 7 days (or 15 messages, whichever comes first) the address and everything it captured are deleted automatically — there's no download step and no recovery window, so save anything you need before then. This is a testing tool: many signup forms actively reject known disposable-email domains, so it may not work as a bypass for email verification. HTML mail renders in a sandboxed frame with scripts disabled.

What is a Temporary Email?

A temporary email address is a disposable inbox you can hand out instead of your real one — for signing up to a service you're only testing, checking what a transactional email actually looks like, or keeping a throwaway address out of your main inbox entirely. It works like any other address: mail sent to it is delivered and shows up here.

One of the most common uses is quickly testing your own app's flows — signup, password reset, email verification — without burning a real inbox on every test run. Generate an address, trigger the flow, and the email lands here in seconds.

Unlike the client-side formatters on this site, receiving real email requires a server to accept the delivery, so this one is necessarily backed by temporary storage — the inbox is disposable by design rather than by convenience.

Why use this Temporary Email

The address is random-word based and unguessable — knowing it is what grants access to the inbox, so it's generated with enough randomness that nobody can stumble onto or brute-force your mail. The inbox stops accepting new mail after 7 days or 15 messages (whichever comes first), at which point it — and everything it captured — is deleted outright. There's no archive step and no recovery window: nothing about a disposable inbox is meant to persist.

There's no signup, no account, and no limit on how many addresses you generate. Messages appear live as they arrive, and you can delete an address outright the moment you're done with it instead of waiting for it to expire.

What this tool doesn't do

Receive-only, no replies

It's receive-only — there's no way to reply to or send mail from a generated address, because the point is inspecting incoming delivery, not running a full mailbox. Attachments are listed by filename and size so you can confirm one arrived, but attachment content itself isn't viewable or downloadable here.

Addresses are random and may get blocked by disposable-domain filters

Addresses are randomly generated, not chosen — you can't reserve a specific local part or a vanity address, and every address shares the same mail domain, which is exactly the kind of domain some signup forms specifically block. If a form rejects the address outright, that's the form's disposable-domain filter working as intended, not a bug here.

How to use it

  1. Press Generate my email address above and copy it.
  2. Use it to sign up for a test account, trigger a verification email, or have someone send it a test email.
  3. Incoming mail appears in the message list within a few seconds.
  4. Select a message to read its text or HTML body; any attachments are listed by filename and size (attachment content isn't currently viewable or downloadable here).
  5. Press Delete at any point to discard the address immediately — otherwise it's deleted automatically, along with anything it captured, once it expires or hits the message cap.

Temporary Email FAQ

Yes — receiving email requires something listening for the delivery, so captured messages are stored temporarily on the server rather than staying purely in your browser.

Up to 7 days or 15 captured messages, whichever comes first.

It's deleted automatically — the address and every message it captured — with no download step and no way to recover it afterward. Save anything you need from a message before expiry.

Yes — press Delete next to the address. It stops accepting mail immediately and any captured messages are deleted permanently, with no way to recover them afterward.

Yes — that's one of the most common uses. Generate an address, point your app's signup or verification email at it, and the message shows up here within a few seconds so you can inspect exactly what was sent.

You can try, but many signup forms actively reject known disposable-email domains, so it isn't reliable for that. This tool is built for testing what your own transactional email looks like, not for evading verification.

No signup and no cost. You can generate as many addresses as you like; each one is independently capped at 7 days / 15 messages.
