Temporary Email
Generate a disposable email address through mail.tm for short-lived testing and verification workflows.
The page asks this site for a disposable mailbox. The server talks to mail.tm, then returns an address, a password, and a JWT. Inbox and message bodies are fetched later through the same site using that token. This is not a browser-only utility.
What you get in the tab
A random address on a mail.tm domain, Copy and refresh controls, and a list that polls about every 15 seconds. Opening a row loads the message body through this site. Generating a new address drops the previous token from page memory.
The address and JWT live in JavaScript state for this tab only. Refreshing or closing the tab forgets them. Older localStorage keys from a previous version are deleted on load; the countdown is not written to disk.
Who sees the mail
mail.tm stores the mailbox. This site’s generate, inbox, and message endpoints forward your request (including the Bearer token) so the browser does not call mail.tm directly. We do not keep a personal mail archive on our side; the provider’s retention and abuse rules still apply.
Typical short jobs
- QA of a signup confirmation email on a staging app.
- Checking whether a template renders without using your work inbox.
- Throwaway one-time codes where losing the mailbox is acceptable.
When generation fails
If mail.tm is down, rate-limited, or returns no domain list, the page shows an error and the address stays “—”. Wait and try again; there is no offline fallback inbox.
Disposable inbox questions
What is temp mail?
Temp mail is a temporary inbox used to receive messages for short-lived tasks such as testing, trials, or verification flows.
Is this disposable email?
Yes. The address is meant to be short-lived. Do not use it for banking, password resets you must keep, or any account you need to recover later.
How long does a temporary email last?
While this tab stays open, the address and inbox stay active in page memory. Refreshing or closing the tab starts a new session. How long the mailbox exists on the provider side depends on mail.tm and is separate from this page.
Can I use temp mail for email verification?
Often yes for throwaway tests. Many sites block disposable domains, and delivery is not guaranteed.
Can websites block temporary email?
Yes. Some websites reject disposable email domains or remove accounts created with temporary addresses.
Is temporary email anonymous?
No anonymity is guaranteed. It can reduce use of your primary inbox, but requests still pass through this site and the external inbox service.
Can I recover an expired temporary inbox?
Do not rely on recovery. After you refresh or close the tab, this page cannot restore the previous address. Provider-side deletion or token changes can also make an inbox unavailable.
If you are testing sign-up flows
Pair a throwaway inbox with a generated password, not a reused one: Password Generator, UUID Generator. Browse the full Developer set or the all tools hub.
