Fake email address
A "fake email address" people search for is almost always a real but throwaway one. MailboxTemp gives you a genuine working inbox that just happens not to be tied to your name.
What is fake email address?
A fake email address, in practice, is a working disposable inbox not connected to your identity. It receives real mail; it's "fake" only in that it isn't your personal address.
A real example
For a registration wall you'll pass through once, a fake email address gets you in and catches the confirmation, while your real inbox stays out of it.
How fake email address works on MailboxTemp
- Open MailboxTemp — a fake 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
It's a real inbox, so it genuinely receives codes and links — but keep it to throwaway use, never to recovery-critical accounts.
Frequently asked questions
Is fake email address really free?
Yes — creating a fake 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.
