Temporary email with a real, working inbox
Not a mock-up and not a generator that hands you a dead string: the address below is live, it accepts mail right now, and anything it receives shows up on this page within seconds.

Inbox
- Waiting for the first message…
Want an address that lives forever — without the spam?
A free permanent alias forwards to your real inbox and switches off the second it starts attracting junk. Or read mail from any provider in the Webmail app.
Sixty minutes, and then genuinely gone
Every message that arrives is stored with a deletion timestamp and removed automatically when that timestamp passes. There is no archive, no backup copy and no admin screen where an operator can go and read old mail, because there is nothing left to read. The countdown beside the address is the actual retention policy rendered as a clock, which is a more honest privacy statement than most pages of legal text.
An hour is the useful default. Confirmation mail almost always arrives in seconds, but slow senders, queued batches and greylisting can add minutes, and it is annoying to lose an inbox while the message is still in flight. When you want a tighter window, the ten-minute mode shortens the same mechanism to ten.
Why this page loads before the competition finishes rendering
Every page here is static HTML built ahead of time and served from an edge cache, with one small hand-written script for the inbox itself. No UI framework, no ad script above the fold, no consent dialog to dismiss, no font download. The address is painted from local state before any network request is made, so the useful part of the page is on screen essentially as fast as the connection can deliver the HTML. Speed is not decoration here: a temp-mail page you have to wait for has failed at its one job.
What temporary email cannot do for you
It cannot send mail, by design, because outbound anonymity is what gets these services blocklisted and shut down. It will not hold your receipts, tickets or two-factor recovery codes, and it is a poor place to register anything you might want to log back into, since password resets will go to an address that no longer exists. It also is not anonymity: the site you sign up to still sees your IP address.
For anything you expect to keep, use a permanent alias that forwards into your real mailbox and can be switched off individually. Related pages: how disposable email works, throwaway addresses, fake email generator, and the temp mail home page.
Temporary email: common questions
What is a temporary email address?
An email address that works normally for a fixed period and is then deleted along with everything it received. You use it wherever a form demands an address but you have no interest in an ongoing relationship with whoever is asking.
How long does this temporary email last?
Sixty minutes from the moment the address appears on screen. The countdown next to the address is the real deadline: when it hits zero the messages are removed server-side by a time-to-live policy, not merely hidden from the page.
Do I need to sign up or verify anything?
No. There is no account, no password and no verification step, which is the whole point: an address you had to register for would defeat the purpose. The address is generated in your own browser and stored in sessionStorage until the tab closes.
Can I keep the same temporary address after closing the tab?
Not deliberately. The address lives in sessionStorage, so closing the tab discards it and there is no cookie or account to recover it from. If you need an address that survives, you need a permanent alias rather than a temporary inbox.
Is temporary email free?
Yes, entirely, with no usage cap and no paid tier gating the inbox. The site is funded by a small number of fixed-size ad slots and by people who decide they would rather have a permanent alias, which is a paid product elsewhere.
