Sometimes you just need to create a temporary email for 1 week or more, be it to sign up to a new product, service or newsletter.
Creating a new Gmail or Hotmail account is too time consuming, and you’ll need to log out of your account each time you want to check them. That’s why we created inboxes.app, a simple browser extension which creates as many temporary emails as you’d like.
There’s no time limit what so ever. You can keep your temporary email for 1 week, or you can use it and delete it immediately.
How do temporary emails work?
Temporary email services like inboxes.app let users create as many temporary emails as they like. The email will usually be random, and often they are temporary. However Inboxes.app puts you in control of the email address. You can choose to delete it immidiately, or if you’d like you can keep the temporary email 1 week or more. There really is no time limit.
Your emails all go into one inbox which sits in your browser as an extension. You don’t need to create an account, and as it’s a separate inbox to your personal one, so it won’t get filled with junk.
Rather than having many different email accounts, we put all your emails in to one handy inbox, so there’s no logging out and logging back in. It really is that simple!
