Anonymous email
An anonymous email lets you receive messages without revealing who you are. MailboxTemp asks for nothing — no name, no signup, no password — so the inbox genuinely can't be traced back to a personal account.
What is anonymous email?
An anonymous email address receives mail without being attached to your identity. There's no profile behind it, no recovery phone number, nothing that ties the address to you.
A real example
Researching something sensitive, signing up to a service you'd rather not be associated with, or simply valuing your privacy — an anonymous inbox lets you receive what you need without leaving a personal trail.
How anonymous email works on MailboxTemp
- No setup: the anonymous 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
Anonymous email hides your address from the site you give it to. It is not a VPN — it doesn't hide your IP. For network-level anonymity, pair it with one.
Frequently asked questions
Is anonymous email really free?
Yes — creating a anonymous 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.
