Temporary email that expires in exactly 10 minutes.
10 minute mail is a temporary email address that lives for exactly 10 minutes and then self-destructs. It's the fastest variant of disposable email — built specifically for situations where you need an inbox for less time than it takes to drink a coffee. Copy the address above, use it for a verification, and the inbox handles the rest.
The 10-minute window is deliberate. Most verification emails arrive within 30 seconds. OTP codes expire after 5-10 minutes anyway. A 10-minute inbox gives you enough time to complete any single verification flow without leaving a long-lived address behind.
Shorter is safer. The less time an address exists, the less time there is for anything to go wrong with it. A 2-hour inbox sitting idle for 119 minutes after you got your verification code is 119 minutes where that address could theoretically receive phishing attempts, spam, or be enumerated by scanners.
10 minutes is the sweet spot between "enough time to complete a task" and "minimum exposure window." For most single-action tasks — verify an account, grab an OTP, download a file — 10 minutes is generous.
If you need more time, you can extend. If you need a lot more time, use the standard 2-hour inbox instead.
When you load this page, the server generates a random address and sets its expiry to exactly 10 minutes from creation. A countdown timer on the page shows how much time remains. When the timer hits zero:
If you need more time, hit the extend button before the timer runs out. It resets the countdown to another 10 minutes from that moment.
The only difference is the timer. Both use the same infrastructure — same SMTP server, same message processing pipeline, same real-time delivery via WebSocket. The 10-minute variant just sets a shorter TTL on the inbox record.
Standard temp mail on trashbox gives you 2 hours. That's better for situations where you might need to come back to the inbox — checking replies, waiting for a slow-sending system, or using the address across multiple sign-ups in one session.
10 minute mail is better when you know exactly what you need: one verification, one download, one OTP. Get in, get it done, get out.
Trashbox automatically scans incoming emails for verification codes and OTP patterns. When detected, the code is highlighted at the top of the email with a one-click copy button. No need to read through the email body, find the 6-digit code, and manually select it. The system extracts it for you.
This also works for verification links. If the email contains a "confirm your email" or "verify your account" link, it gets surfaced for one-click access.
The privacy guarantees are the same as the standard inbox. No analytics. No advertising cookies. No browser fingerprinting. No account system. The server stores only the temporary address and its messages, and both are deleted after 10 minutes.
The cleanup process runs continuously in the background. There are no daily batch deletes or delayed cleanups. When your 10 minutes are up, the data is gone.
10 minute mail is a type of temp mail with a shorter timer. standard temp mail usually lasts 1-2 hours. 10 minute mail expires in 10 minutes. same technology, different duration.
yes. click the extend button to add another 10 minutes. you can extend multiple times.
the address, all emails, and any attachments are permanently deleted. the SMTP server starts rejecting new mail to that address. a new address is generated if you're still on the page.
yes. most verification emails arrive within 30 seconds. OTP codes typically expire in 5-10 minutes anyway, so a 10-minute inbox aligns naturally with verification workflows.
yes. attachments are accepted and stored for the duration of the inbox. they're deleted along with everything else when the timer expires.
no. all temp mail on trashbox is receive-only. this prevents abuse and keeps the service focused on privacy protection.
no. the inbox is ready the moment you open this page. no registration, no personal information.
either extend the timer, or use the standard 2-hour inbox. for a middle ground, try 15 minute mail.
some websites use domain blocklists to reject known temporary email providers. most regular sign-ups don't check.
yes. completely free. no premium tier required for 10 minute mail.
