Minutemail

Temporary email, timed cleanly.

An inbox with a timer.

Create a receive-only temporary email address for one session, around 60 minutes of short-term signups, trials, downloads, and confirmations while protecting your personal inbox. Inbound mail is not connected yet.

  • No account
  • 60 minute expiry
  • Receive-only

Create a temporary email address

One click creates a receive-only inbox at inbox.minutemail.org for this browser session.

Keep the page open. When inbound mail is connected, refresh your inbox to check for new messages.

Made for short-term inboxes

Keep your personal address out of quick forms when you only need to receive a message once.

Signups

Use a temporary address for simple account confirmations.

Trials

Receive trial access emails without adding clutter to your main inbox.

Downloads

Get one-time download links or verification messages for short-term needs.

Built for low-friction receiving

Minutemail keeps the public flow narrow: create a session-based address, keep it receive-only, and let the inbox expire.

Receive-only

Temporary addresses are receive-only. They are not for sending mail or managing long-term accounts.

Short lifetime

Inboxes expire after 60 minutes, and messages are removed when the inbox expires.

Private by default

No public account is needed. Avoid sensitive use because temporary inboxes are intentionally short-lived.

Plans
