Temporary mail

Disposable inboxes for a sign-up or a test.

Temporary mail tools

ToolWhat it does
listTempMailDomainsThe domains a temporary inbox can be made on.
createTempInboxA new disposable address and the inbox token that opens it. Keep the token: every other temporary mail tool needs it.
getTempInboxThe address of an inbox, when it expires, how many extensions are left and how many messages it holds.
listTempMessagesThe messages an inbox received, newest first, with sender, subject, arrival time and a snippet.
readTempMessageOne message with its text, and its sign-in code when it is a verification email and Nextmail is sure of the code.
extendTempInboxKeep an inbox open longer. It returns a new token to use from then on.
deleteTempMessageDelete one message of an inbox for good.
deleteTempInboxClose an inbox now and delete everything it received.

These are the free disposable inboxes of the Nextmail website. An inbox belongs to no workspace and opens with its own token, so the tools need no permission and the token is the only key. Anyone holding it can read the inbox.

Mail to the address is kept for a day at most. A chosen name can be guessed and is taken by somebody else once the inbox expires, so leave localPart out for a random one.

Returns the address and an inbox token that every other temporary mail tool needs, so keep it. Read what arrives with listTempMessages and readTempMessage, which also gives the sign-in code of a verification email. The inbox lasts an hour by default and at most 1440 minutes in all.

Inputs

domainstring

One of the domains listTempMailDomains names. Defaults to the first.
