Free Temporary Email for Form & Email Testing

The go-to solution for developers testing email functionality. No more cluttered inboxes or fake test accounts.

There's a category of testing that fake-SMTP tools like local mail catchers can't cover: verifying that your application's email actually traverses the real internet — real DNS, real MX resolution, real spam filtering — and arrives looking right. tempy.email receives genuine SMTP mail on real addresses, which means when you point your staging app's signup form at a disposable inbox, you're exercising the same delivery path your production users experience, not a simulated one. Emails appear in the inbox in real time, HTML rendering included, so template regressions are visible at a glance.

The manual workflow is deliberately boring: open tempy.email, get an address in one click, paste it into the form you're testing, watch the email arrive. No account, no setup, and crucially no test debris in your personal inbox — after years of "test+023@" aliases cluttering Gmail, that alone sells it to most developers. It fits the in-between work that automation doesn't cover: eyeballing a redesigned welcome email, reproducing a customer's "I never got the reset link" report, checking what your transactional mail looks like when it lands, or validating a new SMTP configuration end to end before the automated suite ever runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a fake SMTP server like a local mail catcher?

Mail catchers intercept email before it leaves your machine — useful, but they can't tell you whether real delivery works. tempy.email addresses receive mail over actual internet SMTP, so DNS, MX records, and your provider's sending reputation are all part of what you're testing.

Can I see how my HTML email template renders?

Yes — incoming emails render in the inbox with sanitized HTML (formatting, images, and tables preserved), so you can spot broken layouts and missing images the moment the email arrives.

Do I need an account to test a signup form?

No. Open tempy.email, copy the generated address, and use it in your form — the verification email appears in the browser inbox within seconds. Accounts and API keys only enter the picture for programmatic use.

What if my app's email takes a while to send?

Mailboxes have a countdown timer and can be extended from the inbox page, so a delayed job or queued email still has somewhere to land. If mail routinely takes longer than the mailbox lifetime, that latency is itself a finding worth investigating.
