Everything a burner inbox should do
Automatic refresh
The inbox checks for new mail automatically. Delivery can be delayed by the receiving provider or maintenance.
Code detection
Verification codes are spotted automatically — copy them with one tap.
Privacy-first reader
Emails render in a locked sandbox. Scripts never run and remote trackers are blocked until you allow images.
Custom names
Pick your own address, choose a domain and lifetime, and juggle several inboxes at once.
Receive-first service
Receive short-term signup messages. Sending to external email addresses is currently disabled.
Access keys
Open the same inbox on your phone with a private key or restore link — no account needed.
Safer reading
Scripts and forms are removed from email. Attachment downloads are disabled during the safety beta.
Time-limited access
Access ends at expiry. Scheduled cleanup removes messages; provider deletion can be delayed. See the privacy notice.
How it works
- 1
Get an address
A random address is created the moment you open the page — or pick your own name.
- 2
Use it where permitted
Use the address for low-risk signups where temporary email is accepted. Follow the destination site's rules.
- 3
Read before expiry
Read your messages while the inbox is active. After expiry, access ends and the address cannot be restored or reissued.
FAQ
Is it really free?
The public beta is currently free for visitors. Usage limits apply, and availability depends on the service's hosting and email providers.
How long do messages stay?
Inboxes default to one hour and can be extended up to 24 hours from creation. Access stops at expiry. Scheduled cleanup removes expired content and requests deletion of provider copies. Provider outages or backup policies can delay complete deletion. Read the privacy notice.
Can I send email?
External sending is disabled. Messages between active VanishBox addresses may be available; this service is intended mainly for receiving temporary mail.
Can someone else read my inbox?
Other visitors need your secret access key; knowing the address alone is insufficient. Anyone with that key can access the inbox. The operator and service providers can access server-side email. This service is not end-to-end encrypted.
What shouldn't I use it for?
Anything important: banking, password recovery for accounts you care about, or anything illegal. Temporary means temporary.
