A disposable email address, ready on arrival
No account, no traces — the burner inbox below is already live. Verification codes, notifications and HTML mail arrive in seconds, then everything self-destructs on schedule.
Three steps between you and a spam-free inbox
Any form you don't fully trust deserves the throwaway address, not your real one.
Copy the address
It was generated the moment the page loaded. One click on "Copy address" — and it reads like a normal person's mailbox, so filters rarely flag it.
Paste it into the form
Account sign-ups, gated downloads, contest entries — wherever an email is demanded, hand over the temporary one and keep your real address out of the database.
Watch the mail roll in
No refreshing needed: codes and confirmations appear in the inbox above within seconds. Read them on the spot, then let it all burn with the address later.
Built for more than verification codes
A throwaway email service done properly, down to the small stuff.
Human-looking addresses
Name-plus-number combinations instead of random gibberish — they read like a real person's secondary email and clear sign-up checks far more often.
Live delivery
New mail lands in the list automatically within seconds — no button-mashing required, though a manual refresh is always one click away.
Full message rendering
HTML layouts and inline images display as the sender intended — reading mail here feels like a real client. Only the message body is kept, never attachments, which makes the final burn even cleaner.
Survives disconnects
The key lives in both the URL and local storage. Until expiry, a refresh, a browser restart, or the same link on another device brings the whole inbox right back.
Fresh identity on demand
Address gone stale or leaked somewhere? Hit "New address" for a clean slate — the old inbox is wiped instantly and nothing links the two.
Clean destruction
When the countdown hits zero, the address and every message are wiped from the server — no backups, no residue. That temporary identity simply stops existing.
The life of a burner address
Twenty-four hours at most from birth to destruction — with you in control at every stop.
Auto-generated
A human-looking address is assigned as the page opens; the 3-hour countdown starts ticking.
Receiving live
Mail streams in as it arrives — read it or delete it; unread items stay clearly marked.
Extend anytime
One click refills the clock to 3 hours, repeatable up to the 24-hour ceiling — you'll be told clearly when it's reached.
Destroyed for good
Address and mail are deleted beyond recovery — and nothing about them can ever be traced back to you.
Burner address or forwarding alias — each covers one flank
TempFwd ships both. Pick by how long you need to stay hidden.
Temporary address
- Live the instant the page opens — zero friction
- Starts at 3 hours, renewable up to 24
- Burns whole on expiry — nobody learns what it received
Forwarding alias
- Permanent address, mail auto-forwarded to your real inbox
- Up to 100 per account — pause or delete any of them
- 30-day online archive, spam intercepted automatically

Moments your real email should sit out
Trying unknown sites
Forums, indie tools, niche apps — take the verification code on a temp mail address first, and decide later whether the relationship deserves your real inbox.
Email-gated downloads
Whitepapers, templates and course material love asking for an address. Catch the download link on a throwaway one and the drip campaign never finds you.
New-customer offers
Free trials and first-order discounts are counted per email. A fake email for verification keeps the promo blast away from the inbox you actually read.
Development & QA
Testing sign-up flows and email templates burns through inboxes fast. Disposable addresses with one-click renewal are exactly the right tool.
Disposable email, common questions
What exactly is a disposable email address?
It is a short-lived, receive-only inbox. One is generated automatically when the page loads — no account, no personal details attached. Use it wherever a form demands an email, collect the message, and let the address destroy itself after 3 hours. Ideal for sign-ups, downloads and anything you would rather keep away from your real inbox.
Is TempFwd really free?
Yes — every feature is free: temporary addresses, alias forwarding and the 30-day archive. There is no premium tier and nothing to unlock.
How long does an address live, and can I extend it?
Each address starts with 3 hours, counted down to the second on the page. You can top it back up to 3 hours whenever you like, but a single address never lives longer than 24 hours in total — after that, grab a fresh one.
Will my mail survive a page refresh or a device switch?
Yes. The access key is stored in both the page URL and your browser's local storage. As long as the address hasn't expired, reloading, reopening the browser, or opening the full link on another device restores the same inbox with every message intact.
Can I send email from it?
No. TempFwd is receive-only by design — temporary addresses and aliases alike. That is a safety feature: nobody can ever use one of these addresses to impersonate you.
Why do some websites refuse this kind of address?
Some sites block domains they recognise as temp mail. When that happens, sign in and create a forwarding alias instead: aliases are long-lived, fully deliverable addresses that pass most filters, and everything sent to them lands in your real inbox automatically.
Is this the same thing as 10 minute mail?
Same idea, longer fuse. A 10 minute mail vanishes almost immediately, which gets tight if a message is slow. TempFwd addresses start at 3 hours and can be renewed up to 24 — plenty of room for confirmation emails and download links that take their time.
Is there a size limit on messages and attachments?
The temporary inbox keeps the message body only — attachments aren't stored, and mail carrying attachments over 100MB is rejected outright. To receive files, use an alias: attachments up to 50MB are forwarded and kept in the 30-day archive, those between 50MB and 100MB are forwarded to your real inbox without being archived, and anything over 100MB is rejected.
Burner address or email alias — how do I choose?
One-off situations (sign-ups, downloads, verification codes) call for the burner address: it burns clean when it expires. Anything you'll keep receiving — newsletters, receipts, accounts you actually use — belongs on an alias, which forwards to your real inbox, keeps a 30-day archive, and can be created up to 100 times per account.
Hiding for the long haul? That's what aliases are for
Sign in with an email code — no password — and your first alias is live in under a minute. Mail sent to it forwards straight to your real inbox, spam gets intercepted at the door, and a 30-day archive stays here.
