Get an address
TempMail asks Guerrilla Mail to create an actual mailbox and returns the address it provides.
A useful layer between you and the inbox
Email for the things
you don’t want to keep.
Get a real, temporary address for sign-ups and one-off downloads. No account required.
Your temporary address
Choose an address name
Messages and addresses are managed by Guerrilla Mail. Avoid using temporary email for sensitive accounts or confidential information.
A small tool, clearly explained
Temporary email, without the fuss.
Use a separate inbox when a form asks for an email address but a lasting relationship is not what you want.
Wait for a message
The inbox checks for new mail every 30 seconds while this page is open. Refresh whenever you like.
Use it briefly
Addresses are temporary. The provider documents a 60-minute address lifetime and supports limited extensions.
Know what you are using
A buffer, not a cloak.
A disposable address can keep low-stakes sign-ups out of your everyday inbox. It does not make you anonymous, encrypt messages, or protect an account you use it to create.

Good fits
When might a temporary inbox help?
- One-off downloadsKeep a receipt or link separate from your main mailbox.
- Trying a serviceUse an address you do not plan to keep for a low-risk trial.
- Testing email flowsReceive a verification message while checking a non-production workflow.
Do not use a temporary inbox for banking, health services, password recovery, or accounts you need to keep. Anyone who can access the same address may be able to receive future mail.
Common questions
Before you start
Is this a real email address?
Yes. The address comes from Guerrilla Mail. This site sends requests to its documented API through a same-origin Cloudflare Function.
How long does it last?
Guerrilla Mail documents a 60-minute lifetime for a non-subscriber address, with extensions subject to its limits. An inactive provider session may expire sooner.
Can I use it for a private account?
No. Do not use shared temporary mail for sensitive accounts or password recovery. It is not a private or anonymous mailbox.
