Secure temporary email
A secure temporary email keeps your real identity and your real inbox out of harm's way. MailboxTemp serves inboxes over encrypted connections and purges everything on expiry, so nothing lingers to leak.
What is secure temporary email?
A secure temporary email is a disposable inbox handled with privacy in mind: no account to breach, encrypted delivery to your browser, and automatic deletion of messages when the inbox expires.
A real example
When you must hand an address to a site you don't fully trust, a secure temporary email contains the risk — there's no standing account behind it and nothing kept after you're done.
How secure temporary email works on MailboxTemp
- No setup: the secure temporary email address appears on arrival.
- Paste it into the signup or download form.
- Read incoming mail straight in the browser; codes are detected for one-tap copying.
- Let the clock run out and the whole inbox self-destructs.
Good to know
"Secure" still has limits: don't receive truly sensitive documents here, since the address is shared-by-design and short-lived.
Frequently asked questions
Is secure temporary email really free?
Yes — creating a secure temporary email 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.
