Use case

A temporary inbox that behaves like a real mail client

Most throwaway inboxes give you a raw message dump. This one gives you folders, search, spam scores, attachment handling and keyboard shortcuts — then cleans itself up.

Start as a guest

No sign-up needed for your first mailbox. Add an account later and keep everything.

Choose the lifetime

24 hours on Free, up to 90 days on Pro, or a custom retention window on Campus.

Real folders

Inbox, starred, archive and trash — plus search across subject, sender and body.

Spam verdicts

Each message carries a score and verdict so you can spot a bad sender immediately.

What a temporary inbox is good for

Sign-up confirmations, one-off downloads, trial accounts, event registrations and any form that wants an address before it earns one.

  • Confirm a sign-up without adding another sender to your main inbox
  • Test your own product's transactional email end to end
  • Share a read-only address for a short campaign or event

What it isn't for

Don't use a disposable address for anything you need to recover later — password resets on important accounts, banking, or legal correspondence. Once a mailbox expires, its messages are gone.
