Email1Hour is operated by JustTryApps ("JustTryApps," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of Email1Hour, including the Email1Hour website, temporary inbox service, and related features.
By using Email1Hour, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

- 5 min to 1 hour
- No traditional account required
- Messages deleted with expired inboxes
- Regional restrictions apply

Regional Availability
Email1Hour is not available for new inbox creation in certain countries and regions. At this time, new inbox creation is unavailable from: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Indonesia.
These availability restrictions may be based on legal, compliance, abuse-prevention, fraud-prevention, operational, security, or commercial considerations. Email1Hour may add, remove, or change regional restrictions at any time. The restriction currently applies to creation of new temporary inboxes; the public website may still be viewable from restricted regions.
1. The Email1Hour service
Email1Hour provides temporary, receive-only email inboxes. Current free inbox duration options are 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour. One hour is the default duration.
Each temporary email address is generated automatically and uses the @tempmessage.com domain.
The service is intended for short-lived email reception such as:
- verification messages
- temporary registrations
- testing
- newsletter previews
- short-term communications
- keeping a primary inbox separate from temporary activity
Email1Hour is not intended to function as a permanent email account.
2. No account required
Email1Hour currently allows temporary inbox creation without requiring a traditional user account or password. Access to an active inbox is controlled by a temporary browser credential associated with that mailbox.
You are responsible for maintaining control of your browser session and temporary inbox. If a mailbox access credential is exposed, another person may be able to access that temporary inbox.
3. Temporary inboxes and expiration
Every inbox has a limited lifetime. The selected duration (currently 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or 1 hour) begins when the inbox is created.
When the mailbox expires, Email1Hour may permanently delete the mailbox and its stored messages. Expired mailboxes should not be expected to be recoverable.
Do not rely on Email1Hour for permanent storage, archival, backup, legal records, financial records, medical records, business-critical communications, or any communication that must remain available.
Email1Hour may also allow you to delete an inbox before its scheduled expiration.
4. Receive-only service
Email1Hour is currently a receive-only email service. You cannot use Email1Hour to send, reply to, or forward email unless those capabilities are expressly added in the future.
5. Message display and content limitations
Email1Hour is designed to display incoming messages in a safer, simplified format. Current product behavior may include:
- plain-text message viewing
- no loading of remote email images
- no loading of tracking pixels
- no rendering of raw email HTML
- no attachment access
Attachments, embedded content, remote media, scripts, or other message elements may be removed, ignored, rejected, or unavailable. Email1Hour does not guarantee that every part of an incoming email will be displayed.
6. Acceptable use
You may use Email1Hour only for lawful purposes. You may not use Email1Hour to:
- commit or facilitate fraud
- impersonate another person or organization
- steal credentials
- conduct phishing
- distribute malware, ransomware, or malicious links
- evade law-enforcement restrictions
- facilitate illegal transactions
- harass or threaten others
- violate another person's privacy
- violate intellectual property rights
- conduct spam campaigns
- automate abusive account creation
- bypass a website's access controls
- evade platform bans
- circumvent fraud-prevention systems
- circumvent sanctions or regional restrictions
- interfere with Email1Hour infrastructure
- probe, attack, overload, scrape, exploit, or reverse engineer the service in an abusive manner
Do not use Email1Hour for activity that violates the terms or rules of another service. The fact that Email1Hour provides a temporary address does not grant permission to violate another website's policies. See also our Acceptable Use Policy.
7. Automation and abuse
Email1Hour may limit, challenge, throttle, block, or deny mailbox creation based on factors including request volume, automated behavior, geographic location, abuse patterns, security signals, fraud indicators, and service capacity.
Email1Hour may use automated security controls to protect the service. We may refuse service without providing detailed information about internal security rules.
8. Regional restrictions
Email1Hour may restrict access to some features based on geographic location. New temporary inbox creation is currently unavailable from:
- Cuba
- Iran
- North Korea
- Syria
- Russia
- Belarus
- China
- Vietnam
- Pakistan
- Bangladesh
- Nigeria
- Indonesia
Regional availability may change without notice. These restrictions may reflect a combination of legal, regulatory, compliance, fraud-prevention, abuse-prevention, security, operational, and commercial considerations.
You may not attempt to circumvent regional restrictions using VPNs, proxies, altered headers, spoofed location information, or similar techniques.
9. No guarantee of delivery
Email1Hour does not guarantee that any particular email will be received, accepted, stored, arrive before mailbox expiration, be displayed correctly, or remain available for any particular amount of time beyond the selected inbox period.
Email may be delayed, rejected, filtered, malformed, oversized, blocked by the sender, or otherwise fail to reach Email1Hour. Do not rely on Email1Hour for critical or time-sensitive communications. Some websites block temporary email domains.
10. Address availability
Temporary Email1Hour addresses are automatically generated. You currently cannot choose a specific address.
An email address should not be treated as permanent, reserved, owned, or guaranteed for future availability. Email1Hour does not guarantee that an expired address will ever become available again.
11. Service limits
Email1Hour may impose technical limits including mailbox lifetime, message count, message size, request frequency, number of inboxes created, message storage, geographic availability, and automated access. These limits may change as the service develops.
12. Privacy and security
Email1Hour is designed to minimize the amount of information required to create a temporary inbox. However, no internet service can guarantee complete privacy, anonymity, security, or uninterrupted availability.
Do not submit highly sensitive information through temporary inboxes. See our Privacy Policy for more about data handling.
13. Suspension and termination
Email1Hour may restrict, suspend, block, or terminate access to the service when we reasonably believe activity violates these Terms, creates security risk, creates legal or compliance risk, harms other users or third parties, abuses service resources, or interferes with service operation.
We may also implement automated restrictions without advance notice.
14. Service changes
Email1Hour is an evolving service. Features may be added, removed, changed, limited, suspended, or replaced. We may change inbox durations, domains, message limits, regional availability, technical architecture, free features, and paid features, without guaranteeing continued availability of any particular feature. We may also discontinue the service at any time.
15. Future paid features
Email1Hour may introduce optional paid services in the future, including longer mailbox durations, additional inbox features, developer tools, API access, or other services. Any paid product will be subject to the pricing and additional terms shown when that product becomes available.
16. Third-party services
Emails received through Email1Hour may originate from third-party services. Email1Hour does not control and is not responsible for third-party websites, services, messages, products, or content. Use of another service remains subject to that service's own terms, privacy policies, and rules.
17. Disclaimer of warranties
Email1Hour is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, message delivery, permanent availability, error-free operation, or compatibility with every website or email sender.
18. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Email1Hour is not responsible for losses resulting from:
- missed messages
- expired inboxes
- lost content
- failed delivery
- service interruption
- third-party actions
- reliance on temporary email for critical communications
19. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless JustTryApps and its owners, operators, contractors, and service providers from and against any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to:
- your use or misuse of Email1Hour
- your violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy
- your violation of any law, regulation, or third-party right
- your violation of another website's or service's terms through use of an Email1Hour address
- any content or communications you cause to be sent to or received through Email1Hour
JustTryApps may, at its own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with that defense. This section does not require you to indemnify JustTryApps for losses caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and it does not limit any rights you have that cannot be waived under applicable law.
20. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or Email1Hour will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Michigan, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts, unless applicable law requires otherwise. Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the laws of the place where you live.
21. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as Email1Hour changes. When changes are made, the "Last Updated" date will be revised. Continued use of Email1Hour after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
