Temporary email, ready in one click

What makes an email address “temporary”?

A temporary address behaves like any other address during its lifetime: senders can deliver to it, and you read the messages in a web inbox. The difference is its lifespan. Every QuickInbox address carries an expiry timestamp on the server; when that moment passes, reads are rejected and the stored messages are removed by the cleanup job.

Because access is tied to your browser session (an HttpOnly cookie), knowing the address alone does not let someone open your inbox — although anyone who knows the address can still send to it and see replies in public forums.

When a temporary inbox is the right tool

• Signing up for a forum, download or trial you may never use again.
• Receiving a verification code without handing out your primary address.
• Testing your own sign-up and confirmation flows during development.
• Reading HTML newsletters safely without images or trackers loading by default.
• Keeping your real address off low-trust forms that end up in data breaches.

How to use QuickInbox

• Press Generate Email at the top of the home page.
• Copy the address with one click and paste it where you need it.
• Watch the inbox — new messages appear automatically every 5 seconds.
• Open the message, copy your code or link, and you are done.
• Let the countdown finish; the inbox and its messages are deleted.

Note: Senders can take a few minutes to deliver. Keep the tab open until the countdown expires and hit Refresh Inbox if nothing appears.

What temporary email does not do

It is not a replacement for a real mailbox. You cannot send mail from QuickInbox in the first version, attachments are not stored, and messages vanish with the inbox — there is no archive to restore from.

Some websites block disposable domains to keep one account per person. If a service rejects your address, you will need a permanent address or an alias for that signup.
