About

Mailbucket

A free, open-source temporary email service that protects your privacy.

Mailbucket gives you a disposable address you can use anywhere you would rather not hand over your real email. Messages appear here within seconds and the address disappears on its own — along with everything it received.

Privacy first

No registration, no tracking, no analytics. Your inbox is reachable only through the token stored in your browser.

Instant setup

Generate a random address or pick your own username. Mail starts arriving immediately — no confirmation step.

Automatic deletion

Addresses and their messages expire automatically, so nothing is kept once you are done.

Open source

Fully auditable. Review the code, self-host it, or send a pull request.

Powered by tempmail-server

This interface talks to an open-source inbound mail server and REST API.
