What TempoMail is
TempoMail is a disposable email service for sign-ups, verification codes, and other situations where you prefer not to provide your regular address. It runs on the web, through an API, and with a browser extension. You can select an inbox name or generate one, then choose retention of 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Messages are automatically and permanently removed when the selected period ends. TempoMail is receive-only, so composing, sending, and replying are unavailable. Its free plan requires no registration and includes a read-only REST API limited to 30 requests per minute, with up to 50 messages in list responses. The extension creates and autofills addresses and opens inboxes in a side panel on Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox. Stored mail uses AES-256-GCM at rest and TLS in transit, but not end-to-end encryption. Access uses an unrecoverable six-character code.
