Free temporary email
Free temporary email shouldn't come with a catch — and here it doesn't. MailboxTemp's temporary inboxes cost nothing, need no account, and expire on their own.
What is free temporary email?
A free temporary email is a no-cost disposable inbox. You pay nothing and sign up for nothing; the address simply works for a while and then expires.
A real example
For the everyday "enter your email to continue" wall, a free temporary email gets you through without spending money or surrendering your real address.
How free temporary email works on MailboxTemp
- Land on the page — your free temporary email inbox is already generated.
- Hit copy, then drop the address wherever it's needed.
- Watch in real time as mail lands; verification codes are highlighted automatically.
- Walk away — expiry wipes everything for you, no cleanup needed.
Good to know
The free tier covers the vast majority of needs; longer-lived inboxes and custom addresses are optional paid extras, never required.
Frequently asked questions
Is free temporary email really free?
Yes — creating a free 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.
