How it works

A disposable inbox in three steps

MailTo gives you a temporary email address in the browser. Use it when you do not want to hand out your personal inbox. Each address lasts 30 minutes, then it expires. That clock is shown next to the address.

Get an address

Open the homepage. MailTo creates an address on mailto.site. Copy it, scan the QR code, or change the alias if you want a different name.

Use it once

Paste the address on sites, trials, downloads, or tests. Keep your real inbox off those forms. Do not use it for banking, medical, or other private mail.

Read and drop it

Messages appear in this page. Open them, download allowed attachments, then delete the address or let the lifetime run out.

Features

Full temporary email toolkit on one page

MailTo is a disposable inbox in the browser. Generate an address, receive mail, then drop the inbox when you are done. These are the tools next to that address — not a separate app.

Instant address

Open the homepage and you get a mailbox on mailto.site. No signup, no download, no extension.

Readable aliases

New addresses use two words plus a number, such as coralriver42, so you can type or read them without a random hash.

Copy in one click

Copy the full address and paste it into any signup form. The field stays on this page so you can come back for the message.

Inbox on the same page

Incoming mail lands under the address. Open a message, read the body, and download allowed attachments without leaving the site.

Live mail check

The inbox refreshes on its own. Hit Refresh if you want a check right now. You do not reload the whole page to see new mail.

Visible lifetime

Every generated address shows its total life and a live countdown. When the clock hits zero, that inbox is finished.

New address on demand

Refresh mints a clean address when the current one is burned, blocked, or already used on a form.

Delete when you are done

Delete drops the current inbox immediately. Do not wait for expiry if you no longer need the messages.

Change the alias

Pick a new local part, or switch domain when more than one domain is approved. Random Name uses the same word-plus-number style.

Open it on your phone

Scan the QR code to open the same inbox on another device without typing the address by hand.

Short history

Recent addresses stay in History so you can switch back in this browser. A free account can keep that list across visits.

Attachments

Allowed file types can be downloaded from a message. Treat them like any unknown file and scan them before you open them.

API

Temporary email API for scripts that need an inbox

Automate the same mailbox the homepage creates: list domains, mint an address, change it, or delete it. One operator key. No personal developer keys, and no paid API checkout.

Site key in the path

Calls use /api/…/{apiKey}/…. A wrong key returns 401. If the operator disables the API, every call returns 403. Login and register do not issue a key.

List domains

GET api/domains/{apiKey}/{type} with type free, premium, or all. You get active domain names and their type labels.

Create an inbox

POST api/emails/{apiKey} mints a random address with the same lifetime as the homepage (default 30 minutes) and returns an email_token.

Change or delete

POST api/emails/{apiKey}/{email}/{username}/{domain} moves the inbox. POST api/emails/{apiKey}/{email} deletes it. Forbidden usernames and unknown domains are rejected.

Message list, message read, message delete, and API attachment download are registered but return 404 on this site. Read mail in the browser inbox. The token deep link is GET /go-to-email/{token}, not /token/{token}.

Anyone who knows the address can open it. Do not send passwords or other confidential mail through an API-created inbox.

After you log in, you can read the full API documentation in your dashboard. Guests are sent to login, then to that page.

Use cases

When a disposable inbox is the right tool

Use a temporary email when a site needs a mailbox and you do not want that sender in your personal inbox. MailTo is built for short, lawful tasks — not for accounts you must keep.

Trials and demos

Confirm a trial without giving a vendor your real address. Read the activation mail here, then let the inbox expire.

Newsletters and lead magnets

Grab a PDF or discount code without joining a permanent list. If the sender keeps mailing, that traffic dies with the address.

One-off downloads

Some sites gate a file behind an email field. Use MailTo, collect the link, and skip the follow-up sequence.

QA and form testing

Developers and testers can fire signup, reset, and notification flows without polluting a staff mailbox or sharing a shared password inbox.

Classifieds and marketplaces

Post or reply when you do not want your personal address on a public listing. Move the conversation off MailTo if it becomes real.

Keep spam off your real inbox

A throwaway address absorbs the first wave of marketing mail. Your Gmail or Outlook stays for people and services you actually keep.

Guide

What is a temporary email address?

A temporary email address is a mailbox that exists for a short window, then goes away. You use it when a website wants an email and you do not want that mail sitting in your personal inbox for years.

MailTo is a disposable email service on mailto.site. It gives you an address in the browser, shows incoming messages on the same page, and expires the inbox after 30 minutes. That clock is printed next to the address so you can see how much time is left.

This is the same idea as a disposable email address: a short-lived mailbox for signups, tests, and one-off downloads. It is not a replacement for Gmail, Outlook, or a company mailbox.

How a disposable inbox works

You open the homepage. MailTo creates an address on an approved domain, usually mailto.site. The local part is two words plus a number so you can read it aloud. Copy it into a form. When that site sends mail, the message appears in the inbox below the address.

The inbox checks for new mail on its own. Refresh forces a check. Delete removes the current inbox. Change lets you pick a different alias or domain. History lists recent addresses in this browser. QR opens the same inbox on a phone without typing.

Anyone who knows the address can open it. Treat MailTo as a public drop box for its lifetime. Never send passwords, bank details, medical records, or other confidential mail here.

Temporary email vs a personal inbox

Temporary email compared with a personal inbox
Need Temporary email Personal inbox
Signup you will not keep Yes. Read the confirm mail, then drop the address. Leaves a sender in your mailbox and often on a marketing list.
Account you must recover later No. The inbox expires and mail is not a permanent archive. Yes. Use an address you control for years.
Private or regulated mail No. The address is not a private mailbox. Yes. Banking, medical, legal, and work mail belong there.
Testing forms and notifications Yes. Mint an address, trigger the flow, delete it. Possible, but it clutters a real account.

What MailTo stores, and what it does not promise

To deliver mail, MailTo processes the generated address, incoming messages, and technical data such as IP address and browser information. That is described in the Privacy Policy . Messages and attachments can expire, get deleted, or become unreachable. Do not store records you need to keep.

Secuno LLC operates mailto.site from Sheridan, Wyoming, USA. Wyoming law governs the service. Acceptable use is in the Terms of Service . Fraud, phishing, spam, malware, and bypassing bans on other sites are not allowed.

You can generate an address without an account. A free account is optional. It is for saved history, favorites, and custom domains when those tools are enabled. Paid checkout is not part of this product today. Contact if you need to reach the operator.

Key takeaways

  • A temporary email is a short-lived mailbox for forms you do not trust with your real address.
  • MailTo creates the address in the browser, shows mail on this page, and expires the inbox after the printed lifetime.
  • Anyone who knows the address can read it. Keep secrets out of it.
  • Use it for trials, downloads, tests, and spam avoidance. Use a personal inbox for anything you must recover later.
