Your temporary email address
Anyone with this browser’s access token can read this inbox. Don’t use it for bank, government, health, or account-recovery email.
Use it anywhere you don’t want to give your real email. New mail shows up below within seconds, and the inbox deletes itself after 24 hours.

How it works
From address to gone in four steps
Step 1
Get an address
A random address is created for you after a quick, automatic bot check. No name, password, or phone number.
Step 2
Use it anywhere
Paste it into a sign-up form, a download page, or a newsletter. The page checks for new mail every 12 seconds while it is open.
Step 3
Read safely
Email opens in a locked-down viewer. Scripts never run, and images stay blocked until you choose to load them.
Step 4
It cleans itself up
After 24 hours the inbox ends and its messages are deleted from our servers. You can delete it sooner yourself.

What is a temporary email address?
It is a working email address you can use once, without signing up. Open the site, copy the address, and use it wherever a site asks for an email. Messages sent to it show up on this page within seconds.
How long does my inbox last?
Each inbox lasts 24 hours from the moment it is created. The countdown next to the address shows the time left.
After that, the page stops showing the inbox, and our hourly cleanup deletes the address and its messages from our servers. Deletion can happen up to a few hours after expiry.
Why didn’t my verification code arrive?
Many websites block temporary email domains, so we cannot guarantee that every code or link will arrive. Check that you copied the full address, wait a minute, and press Refresh.
If a site refuses the address or never sends anything, it is probably blocking temporary email. Use a permanent address for that site.
Who can read my inbox?
Your browser keeps a secret access token for the inbox. Anyone with that token can read the inbox, which normally means only this browser on this device.
Do not share your screen or device with someone you do not trust while the inbox is open. Delete the inbox when you are done if you want the messages gone right away.
