Temp Mailboxes

Tempmailboxes is a privacy-focused, receive-only temporary email service designed for handling web signups, account verifications, and one-time registrations without exposing your primary inbox to spam.

The platform structures its offering around clear boundaries between shared public access and secure, account-backed private mailboxes. Free users can instantly generate anonymous public addresses in one click without registering an account. These public mailboxes retain incoming messages for up to seven days, though messages remain accessible to anyone with saved access to that specific address.

For developers and power users, the service provides Pro and Developer tiers. These paid plans support private, owner-only mailboxes, custom domain integration, and extended message retention. Notably, the Developer tier includes an API and an OTP event stream that can automatically monitor new arrivals, extract verification codes in real time, and return candidates with heuristic confidence metadata.

Tempmailboxes strictly functions for receiving mail—it does not support sending, replying, or forwarding messages. By emphasizing transparent retention policies, clear access levels, and developer automation tools, it offers a reliable utility for managing disposable communications securely.
