10 Minute Mail review

10 Minute Mail does one thing: it gives you an inbox that disappears. Open the page and an address is ready with a 10-minute countdown, and a 10 more minutes button extends it if a verification email is slow. The site says emails typically arrive within seconds, it is available in 45 languages, and it describes its storage as 100% in-memory. It has run since 2006 and is free, supported by ads and donations. That simplicity is also the limit: there is no forwarding, no replies, no custom domain and no way to get back into an account once the address is gone. Use it for a one-time code or a download link, and use an alias service for anything you might need again.
