What Is Temp Mail?

Temp mail — short for temporary mail — is a disposable email address designed for short-term use. It works like a regular email address: it can receive incoming messages, verification codes, and one-time passwords. The difference is that it is not meant to last. Once you are done using it, the address expires or can be deleted, keeping your primary inbox free from clutter.

MailCannon Temp Mail lets you create these disposable inboxes directly from your dashboard. Each inbox is tied to your account, synced through MailCannon's secure server, and expires after a set lifetime.

When Should You Use Temp Mail?

  • One-time signups — create an account on a service you will only use once.
  • Verification codes — receive OTP messages without exposing your real address.
  • Testing — developers and QA teams test signup flows, password resets, and notifications.
  • Privacy — keep your primary email off marketing lists and data breaches.
  • Inbox separation — keep short-term activity out of your permanent mailbox.
