TL;DR

  • Instant address on first open (Web/App/Telegram)—no need to generate.
  • Copy the address → paste into the site/app → refresh (or auto‑refresh) to read the OTP.

  • You can save your token to reopen the exact address later.
  • Receive‑only, no attachments; messages purge after ~24 hours.

Start Faster on the Web

temp mail website

Open and use the address that appears on the screen immediately—no generation step is needed.

What You'll Do

  • Copy the pre‑shown address and paste it into the site/app that requested the email.
  • Could you refresh the inbox to view the incoming OTP or message?
  • Please keep the address private; you can capture a token if you plan to use it.

Step‑by‑Step (Web)

Step 1: Open the web quick start

Go to the temp mail homepage → a ready‑to‑use address is already visible at the top of the inbox.

Step 2: Copy your address

Tap Copy next to the address. Confirm the clipboard toast.

Step 3: Paste where needed

Please paste the address into the signup or OTP field on the target site/app.

Step 4: Refresh and read

Return to the inbox tab and refresh (or wait for auto‑refresh) to see new mail.

Step 5: Optional — change address

Tap New Email only if you want a different address (e.g., a site blocks the current one).

Step 6: Keep it for later

If you need this address again, you can save the token securely (see 'Reuse Your Temporary Mail Address').

Go Quicker on Mobile

Open the app and use the address that's already visible. Notifications help you catch OTPs on time.

Why Mobile Helps

  • Fewer context switches than browser tabs.
  • Push notifications surface OTPs quickly, reducing the risk of timeouts.
A smartphone lock screen displays a new email alert while the app UI shows a one-tap copy action, emphasizing fewer taps and faster OTP visibility

Use Telegram for Hands‑Free Checks

A chat interface features a bot message with a temporary address and a new message indicator, illustrating hands-free inbox checks inside a messaging app

Start the bot; your address will appear in the chat on your first use.

Prerequisites

Step‑by‑Step (Telegram)

Step 1: Start here

👉 Start here: https://t.me/tmailorcom_bot

Alternatively, open the Telegram app and search for: @tmailorcom_bot (tap the verified result).

Step 2: Press Start

Tap Start to begin the chat. The bot immediately displays your current temporary email address—no extra command needed on first run.

Step 3: Copy the address

Tap‑and‑hold the address → Copy.

Step 4: Paste and request code

Please paste the address into the signup or OTP form and then submit the request.

Step 5: Read incoming mail

Stay in Telegram; new messages appear in the thread. Use /refresh_inbox to check for new mail if needed.

Step 6: Optional — change address

Generate a different address any time: menu → /new_email or type /new_email.

Step 7: Optional — token reuse

If the bot exposes a token, copy and save it. You can also reuse it via /reuse_email (paste your token) or obtain/store the token through the Web/App after receiving the email.

More useful commands:

  • /list_emails — manage saved addresses
  • /sign_in/sign_out — account actions
  • /language — choose language
  • /help — show all commands

Keep an Address for Later

You can use the same temp address with a secure token when you expect future resets, receipts, or returns.

What Is the Token?

A private code that allows the same inbox to be reopened across sessions or devices. Please keep it secret; if you lose it, the inbox won't be able to recover.

Step‑by‑Step (Getting Your Token)

Step 1: Find the token action

On Web/App/Telegram, open Options (or the bot/help panel) to reveal Get/Show Token.

Step 2: Save it securely

Copy the token and store it in a password manager with the following fields: servicetemporary addresstokenand date.

Step 3: Test token reuse

Open the 'Reuse Temp Mail Address' flow, paste the token, and confirm that it reopens the same address.

Step 4: Guard the token

Please don't post it publicly; rotate if exposed.

Step‑by‑Step (Reopening via Token)

Step 1: Open the Reuse flow

Go to the official Reuse Temp Mail address page.

Step 2: Paste your token and validate the format.

Step 3: Confirm the address and copy it again as needed.

Step 4: Continue where you left off (returns, receipts, password resets).

Short‑life alternative: For one‑and‑done tasks, try 10-minute mail.

FAQ

Do I need to tap 'New Email' on the first use?

No. An address is automatically displayed on the web, app, and Telegram. Tap New Email only to switch to a different address.

Where do I find the token?

In Options (Web/App) or the bot's help. Save and test it in the reuse flow.

How long are messages kept?

About 24 hours, then they're purged automatically by design.

Can I send emails or open attachments?

No—receive-only, no attachments, to reduce risk and improve deliverability.

Why didn't I receive my OTP immediately?

Wait 60–90 seconds before resending; avoid sending multiple resends. Consider mobile/Telegram for alerts.

Can I manage multiple addresses on my mobile device?

Is the Telegram bot safe to start?

Launch it from the verified hub: use a temporary email address on Telegram to avoid impersonators.

Use plain-text view when in doubt; verify the URL before clicking.

Are there many domains?
