- Waiting for the first message…
Want an address that lives forever — without the spam?
A free permanent alias forwards to your real inbox and switches off the second it starts attracting junk. Or read mail from any provider in the Webmail app.
What a temporary email address is for
Almost every download, trial, forum and Wi-Fi portal wants an email address before it will do anything. Most of them want it so they can mail you later. A temporary email address breaks that trade: you get the confirmation link, they get an address that stops existing in an hour, and your real inbox never learns about it.
How this one is different
The page you are reading is static HTML served from an edge cache, with one small script for the inbox. No framework, no ad script above the fold, no consent banner, because there is nothing to consent to. That is why the address is already on screen instead of waiting on a megabyte of JavaScript.
When you want an alias instead
A temporary address is the right tool for something you will never need again. If you want a real, permanent address that still hides your identity and that you can switch off the moment it starts attracting spam, that is an email alias, and it is a different product.
Temporary email, disposable email, throwaway email — same thing?
Near enough. Temporary email is the neutral term, disposable email is what anti-fraud teams call it, throwaway email is what people call it when they are annoyed, and fake email generator is what they search for when they want an address that is not theirs but still receives. They all describe the same mechanic: an inbox with an expiry date. If you want the shortest possible one, use 10 minute mail.
What actually happens to a message
Mail arrives at a Cloudflare Email Worker, which parses the MIME structure and hands it to a
server-side sanitizer. Scripts, forms, iframes, event handlers, remote images and tracking
pixels are removed there — before storage, not at render time — so a tracking pixel never gets
a chance to fire. Links are pulled out into a separate list. What is left is stored with a
time-to-live and deleted automatically when it expires. Your browser renders that stored HTML
inside an iframe with an empty sandbox attribute and its own
default-src 'none' content-security policy, which is the closest thing the web
platform has to a padded room.
Frequently asked questions
Is temp mail legal?
Yes. Receiving mail at an address you control is legal everywhere. What you do with the mail is on you: use a disposable address to keep marketing lists away from your real inbox, not to evade someone who has a legitimate reason to reach you.
How long does a temporary address last?
Sixty minutes from the moment it is generated, and every message is deleted automatically when it expires. The ten-minute mode at /10-minute-mail/ shortens that to ten minutes if you only need one confirmation link.
Can I send email from a temp mail address?
No, and that is deliberate. These inboxes are receive-only, so the domains never appear on outbound spam blocklists and never get someone else banned. It is the single biggest reason services like this die, and we designed it out.
Do you use cookies or track me?
No cookies at all. Your address is held in sessionStorage in your own browser and vanishes when you close the tab. There is no account, no email verification, and no tracking script that identifies you.
Are the emails safe to open?
HTML is sanitized on our server before it is ever stored: scripts, forms, remote images and tracking pixels are stripped. What is left is rendered inside a fully sandboxed iframe with its own no-network content-security policy, and links are listed outside the frame so you choose what to open.
