What is 10 minute mail?
“10 minute mail” is the common name for an email address that works for a short time and then disappears. You use it when a website wants an email before it shows you something, and you don’t want that site in your real inbox.
The address above is that kind of inbox. It is free, it needs no account, and it deletes itself on a timer. The difference is the timer: you get 24 hours, not ten minutes.
Why 24 hours instead of 10 minutes
- Slow senders. Some sites queue their confirmation emails. Ten minutes is often not enough, and when the inbox is gone, the email is lost.
- Second emails. A sign-up can send a welcome email first and the link you need a few minutes later.
- Breaks. You can close the tab, come back later, and the same inbox is still in this browser.
If you are done sooner, press Delete. The inbox and its messages are removed from our servers straight away.
How to use it
- Copy the address above. It is created for you after a quick, automatic bot check.
- Paste it into the sign-up form, download page, or newsletter box.
- Wait on this page. It checks for new mail every 12 seconds, and new messages appear on their own.
- Open the message, copy the code or press the link, and you are done.
What it can’t do
This inbox only receives email. It can’t send or reply, attachments are removed, and many websites block temporary email domains, so some codes will never arrive. Don’t use it for banking, government, health, or any account you want to keep. When the inbox ends, you can’t receive a password reset there again.
Questions
Is this the same as 10minutemail?
It does the same job: a free, disposable address that needs no sign-up and expires on its own. It is a different service, and the inbox lasts 24 hours instead of 10 minutes.
Can I make the inbox last only 10 minutes?
Yes, in effect. Press Delete when you are finished and the inbox and its messages are removed immediately. You don’t have to wait for the 24 hours to run out.
Can I extend the inbox past 24 hours?
No. Every inbox ends 24 hours after it is created. For anything you need longer, use a permanent email address.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no paid plan, no account, and no limit on reading mail while the inbox lasts.
