About

Keep your real inbox clean. Use a throwaway address when a site only needs an email for a minute.

What is a temporary email?

A temporary email (also called temp email or temp mail) is a short-lived address you use instead of your real inbox. Temporary Email gives you one in the browser: no signup and no password. Copy the address, paste it into a form, and read incoming mail here.

Each temporary email address lasts 5 minutes. When the timer ends, the address and every message are deleted. If you still need one, grab a new address.

When many people request inboxes at once, you may wait in a short queue. Keep this tab open — the address appears when it is your turn.

What is a disposable email address?

A disposable email address is a mailbox that exists only for a short time. It is also called temp mail, throwaway email, or 10-minute mail. You use it instead of your real address when a website asks for email.

On this site the address is generated at random. It is not a private account. Anyone who knows the live address can read mail until it expires. Use it for codes and one-off signups, not for mail you need to keep.

Why would you need a fake email address?

Many sites ask for an email before you can register, comment, or download a file. That address often ends up on promotional lists. A temporary address lets you finish the step without handing over the inbox you actually use.

  • 01

    One-off signups

    Forums, downloads, and sites that require an email just to continue. Paste the temporary address, finish the step, and let the inbox expire.

  • 02

    Verification codes

    When a form sends a code or a confirmation link, it lands in the inbox above. Read it here, then the mailbox disappears after 5 minutes.

  • 03

    Keep promo mail out

    Use a throwaway address when you do not want newsletters and ads in your real inbox. The temporary mailbox is gone before the follow-up mail starts.

  • 04

    Fill a form without committing

    Some pages will not proceed until an email field is filled. A disposable address gets you through without attaching your real mailbox.

Temporary email FAQ

How long does a temporary email last?
Each inbox on Temporary Email lasts 5 minutes. After that the address and every message are deleted. This is 5 minute mail, not 10 minute mail — grab a new address if you still need one.
Can I receive verification codes with temp mail?
Yes. Paste the temporary email into the form, then watch the inbox on this page. Verification codes and confirmation links usually arrive within seconds.
Is disposable email free?
Yes. The disposable email address is free, with no registration. A short queue may appear when the service is busy so inboxes stay fast.
Is this the same as 10 minute mail?
