Disposable email address
A disposable email address is meant to be spent, not saved. MailboxTemp issues one instantly so you can hand it out freely and let it expire without a second thought.
What is disposable email address?
A disposable email address is a single throwaway address with a built-in expiry. It receives mail like any address but is intended to be used and discarded.
A real example
Giving an address to a one-off vendor or a contest entry? A disposable email address absorbs whatever they send and disappears, taking the future spam with it.
How disposable email address works on MailboxTemp
- Open MailboxTemp — a disposable email address address is waiting the moment the page loads.
- Copy it and paste it into whatever form is asking for an email.
- Messages arrive live; any one-time code is pulled out and shown at the top.
- When the timer runs out, the inbox and its contents are permanently erased.
Good to know
One address, one purpose — generate a separate one for each site if you want to keep them cleanly isolated.
Frequently asked questions
Is disposable email address really free?
Yes — creating a disposable email address inbox and receiving mail costs nothing and needs no account. Optional Pro features (longer life, custom address, no ads) are the only paid extras.
How long does it last?
Free inboxes live for one hour and can be extended in 10-minute steps; Pro inboxes last 24 hours. At expiry the address and every message are permanently deleted.
Can I receive verification codes and OTPs?
Yes. MailboxTemp detects one-time codes in incoming mail automatically and surfaces them at the top of the inbox so you can copy them in a tap.
