What Is a Temporary Email Address?
A temporary email (also called disposable email, throwaway email, or temp mail) is a short-lived email address you can use in place of your real email. It works exactly like a normal inbox — receive emails, read them, view attachments — but expires after a set period.
Unlike your real email, a temporary email requires zero registration. No name, no phone number, no password. Click Generate and you have a working inbox in under one second.
How Does Temporary Email Work?
- Our system generates a random unique username (e.g.
x7k2m9p) - It creates a real inbox at a partner mail domain (e.g.
x7k2m9p@mailnuo.com) - Any email sent there appears in your browser in real-time
- After 30 minutes, the inbox and all emails are permanently deleted
