Mail

Mail.cx is a temporary email service designed to help people protect their primary inbox when signing up for websites, downloading content, trying free trials, or posting in forums. It creates a disposable email address instantly, with no signup or payment required for the basic web inbox. Incoming messages appear in real time, and free inboxes are kept for one hour before they expire. Users can choose a username or generate an address at random.

The service aims to keep unwanted messages, newsletters, and potential phishing attempts away from a personal email account. Mail.cx says inboxes self-destruct and that it does not log, sell, or share users’ mail. For developers and users seeking automation, the paid Pro offering includes custom and dedicated domains, mail retention of up to 72 hours, and REST API access for automated inbox polling and AI assistants. The API supports up to 10 requests per second per token, with no daily cap. Mail.cx presents its website as free and ad-free, while API access is paid.
