Why use QuickInbox?

A disposable inbox that actually receives mail — with the safety and privacy details handled properly.

One click, no signup

Generate a working address instantly. No account, no password, no personal details — open the page and start receiving mail.

Auto-expiring inboxes

Every inbox lives for 10 minutes by default. The server enforces the expiry, then messages and mappings are deleted for good.

Live inbox, 5-second refresh

Incoming messages appear automatically. The page pauses polling in background tabs and backs off when the network hiccups.

Sandboxed HTML rendering

HTML mail is sanitized and shown in a locked-down iframe. Scripts never run, and external images stay blocked until you allow them.

Less tracking, less spam

Throwaway addresses keep your real inbox out of data-breach lists and marketing databases. Read the mail you need, then let it expire.

Built for testing

Developers and QA can verify sign-up flows, confirmation emails and HTML templates without polluting real mailboxes.

How it works

Three steps, about ten seconds.

  1. Generate an address

    Click Generate Email to create a random, high-entropy address and open a private session in this browser.

  2. Use it anywhere

    Paste the address into a sign-up form, newsletter or test flow. Verification mails land in your inbox within seconds.

  3. Read and disappear

    Open the message (HTML and text both supported), copy your code, then let the inbox expire — everything is cleaned up automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about expiry, privacy and what QuickInbox can (and cannot) do.

A temporary email address is a disposable inbox you can use for a short period without signing up. It receives real emails — verification codes, confirmation links, newsletters — so you can read them online and then let the address expire, keeping your personal inbox clean.

Click Generate Email and QuickInbox creates a random address on our receiving domain and opens a private session in your browser. Emails sent to that address arrive in your inbox within seconds. Only your browser session can read them: access is tied to an HttpOnly session cookie, not to the address itself.

By default, 10 minutes from the moment you generate it. The countdown you see is display-only — the server independently checks the expiry on every request. When the inbox expires, the messages and the address mapping are deleted and all reads are rejected.

Yes. Sign-up confirmations and one-time codes sent to your QuickInbox address appear in the inbox, usually within seconds. Keep the tab open until the code arrives. Note that some services block disposable addresses — see the FAQ below.

Common causes: the sending server is slow or deferred (delivery can take a few minutes), the sender rejected the disposable address, the message went to spam on the sender's side, or your inbox already expired. Check that the address is exactly as copied and that the countdown has not reached zero, then hit Refresh Inbox.

QuickInbox requires no account and collects only the data needed to run the service. However, anyone who knows the address can also read messages sent to it, and messages are deleted when the inbox expires. Treat a QuickInbox address as public and short-lived — not as a secure mailbox.
