Temporary addresses
that close on their own.
Take an address, use it for the signup, and let it go. It receives real mail for an hour, Extend adds another hour up to a day, and then the inbox closes. Free, with no account.
In short
What is a temporary email address?
A temporary address is one you give a signup form instead of the one you read. It carries mail for a while, then stops, so any list it lands on reaches nobody.
How it works
Ready before the form is
Open the tool and an address is waiting. Take the generated one, or type the name you want on one of the shared domains.
The hour sits on the address
Mail reaches you while the lease runs. When it ends, the inbox closes and there is nothing left to sign in to.
Every address you took, with its time left
This browser keeps the inboxes you have open, each with the minutes it has left, so switching between them takes one click.
What you get
In the product today
Receive only
Nothing is sent from these addresses, so the shared domains stay deliverable for everyone.
Trackers blocked
Remote images stay off until you ask for them, so opening a confirmation does not report back.
No account
No signup and no password. The inbox belongs to this browser until its time runs out.
Good practice
Getting the most out of it
- 01
Use it for the throwaway part
Confirmation codes, download links, a wifi login: the things you need once and never again.
- 02
Extend before it runs out
An hour covers most signups. If a code is slow to arrive, extend in time, because an inbox that has closed cannot be opened again.
- 03
Move what you want to keep
When the inbox closes, its mail goes with it. For an account you mean to keep, use an address on your own domain.
Where it stands
Good to know
- Sending
- Receive only. Nothing can be sent or replied to from these addresses.
- Your own domain
- Addresses sit on shared domains, and some sites refuse known disposable domains.
- Keeping mail
- Up to 50 messages, gone when the lease ends. There is no archive.
