Create an inbox, read incoming messages, and follow the ten-minute timer.
Use this 10 minute mail inbox when you need a temporary email address for a task you can finish soon. Create the inbox, copy its address into a form that accepts temporary email, then return here to read messages sent to it. The countdown starts when the inbox is created and runs for ten minutes. This inbox receives email only; it cannot send replies or replace an address you need for future access.
What is 10 minute mail?
10 minute mail is a temporary email inbox that stays available for a limited time. On this page, each new inbox remains active for ten minutes from the moment it is created. You can copy its address, receive messages sent to it, and read them in your browser while the countdown is running.
The address is separate from your everyday email, but it is not a permanent mailbox or an account on the website that sends you a message. This service is for receiving email; it does not send messages or replies. Other temporary email services may use different timers and features, so check the information shown by the service you choose.
How to use a 10-minute mail inbox
Prepare the website form before creating an inbox. The countdown begins immediately, so having the next step ready gives you time to enter the address and check for the message.
1. Read the form instructions
Check whether the website accepts temporary email and what it asks you to do after submitting the address. Use another email address if the website requires one you can keep using.
2. Create the inbox
Select Create 10-minute inbox. The page creates an address and starts its countdown.
3. Copy the full address
Copy the address displayed on the page, including everything after the @ symbol. Paste it into the form and check that it was entered correctly.
4. Return to this inbox
After the website confirms the request, come back to the same inbox. Check the sender and subject to find the message you are expecting.
When the ten-minute timer starts and ends
The countdown starts as soon as the inbox is created. It keeps running while you fill in a form, switch browser tabs, or wait for a message. Refreshing checks the inbox for new mail; it does not restart or extend the ten-minute period. Use the timer displayed on the page to see how much time remains.
When the period ends, the inbox expires and cannot be reopened. Its messages are removed through the service cleanup process and cannot be recovered from an expired inbox. If a message contains information you are allowed to keep, save what you need before access ends. A code or confirmation link may also have its own expiry time, set by the website that sent it; that timer is separate from the inbox countdown.
What this temporary email inbox can do
A 10 minute mail inbox can receive incoming email addressed to the address shown on the page. It can help you read a message during a short task, such as a confirmation that the sending website permits you to receive at a temporary address.
The inbox cannot send email, reply to a sender, or provide an ongoing conversation. It also does not create or manage an account on another website. If you need to contact someone, receive regular updates, or return to an account later, use an email account you control. If ten minutes is too short for your task, choose the standard TempMail inbox from this site instead.
Why a message may not appear right away
Email delivery depends on the sender and the systems that carry the message. A website may take time to send a confirmation, and some websites do not accept temporary email addresses. The inbox cannot guarantee that every sender will deliver a message before the countdown ends.
If a message is missing, first check that the form accepted the exact address you copied and that the request was submitted. Wait briefly, then refresh the same inbox. A newly created inbox has a different address, so it cannot receive mail sent to the earlier one. If the website offers an allowed resend option, follow its instructions. If it asks for an email address you can keep using, enter an address you control.
The inbox timer and verification timer are different
The ten-minute countdown controls how long this inbox remains available. A sender may separately limit how long a code or link can be used. These are two different time limits: a message can arrive while the inbox is active but contain a code that has already expired, or the inbox may expire while a code would otherwise still work.
Follow the instructions in the message and on the sender's website. If a code no longer works, request another only through the sender's normal process and while the inbox is still active. The sender controls its codes and links; this inbox does not extend their validity.
Privacy and handling incoming messages
A temporary email address can keep a short-lived message separate from your everyday inbox. It does not make your visit anonymous or turn email into a confidential channel. The website where you enter the address may still collect information through its own forms and services.
Keep the address and inbox access details private while the inbox is active. Anyone who can access the inbox may be able to read its messages. Email comes from outside this service, so check whether the sender and subject match what you expect before opening links or files. For information about this site's data practices, read the Privacy Policy.
When to use an email address you can keep
Choose an email address you control when you expect to use an account again, receive later notices, change a password, or continue a conversation. A 10 minute mail inbox may expire before you need to return, and it cannot receive future messages after it has expired.
An address you can keep is also a better fit for orders, bookings, subscriptions, or records you may need later. If you are unsure whether a message or account will matter in the future, use your regular email address. The short-lived inbox is most useful when you can finish the task and read the expected message within the time shown.
Choosing between the ten-minute and standard inbox
This 10 minute mail inbox is for a task you expect to finish quickly. If a message may take longer to arrive or you need more time to read it, choose the standard TempMail inbox from this site. The standard inbox lasts up to six hours, while this page's countdown lasts ten minutes from creation. Both inboxes receive email only. Check the timer displayed for the inbox you create and choose the period that fits the task you need to complete.
Using 10 minute mail on a phone or computer
Open the page in a current browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. On a smaller screen, check that the full address was copied before pasting it into another app. If you switch between the form and the inbox, the countdown keeps running, so return to the original inbox to check for the message. Creating another address will not move messages from the first inbox.
The language selected for the website changes its interface labels. It does not translate incoming email or change the address. A sender may write in a different language from the page controls; use the sender, subject, and message details to identify the email you expected.
