Temporary email: expiry and access compared

Find a short-lived inbox for a one-off task. Compare address expiry separately from how long each message is stored.

Temporary inboxes reduce the need to share your main address. They are a poor fit for accounts that need future password resets. Receiving a verification message is never guaranteed: the destination site decides which domains it accepts.

No registration is not the same as a private inbox. Check whether access depends on a browser session, a secret token or a publicly guessable inbox ID. Sending and replying are separate capabilities.
