How it works
Three steps. Then it’s gone.
- 01
Create
Click Create Inbox and instantly receive a temporary @tempmessage.com email address.
- 02
Use
Paste the address wherever you need temporary email. Messages appear automatically in your inbox.
- 03
Gone
After one hour, the inbox and its messages are automatically deleted. Done sooner? Delete it early.
Temporary email is for short-term use. Don’t use it for important accounts, banking, work or anything you may need to recover later — once your inbox expires, password resets and security codes can no longer reach you.

About
A small tool for a common problem.
What Email1Hour is
Email1Hour is being developed as a simple temporary-email utility for people who occasionally need a disposable inbox without creating another permanent account.
Temporary vs. permanent email
A permanent inbox is tied to your identity and kept for years. A temporary inbox exists for one hour, receives mail only, and is deleted automatically — useful for sign-ups you don’t plan to keep.
What it isn’t
Email1Hour is not a permanent email service, an anonymous communication platform or a file-hosting service. It reduces how often you share your real address; it doesn’t guarantee anonymity or security.
