10 Minute Mail vs MinuteMail

10 Minute Mail provides disposable email addresses for website sign-ups, letting you receive messages without sharing your regular address. Incoming mail appears automatically on the webpage, where you can read it and open links; replies and forwarding to a personal account are also supported. An address expires after 10 minutes, and its countdown can be reset for another 10 minutes. You do not need to register or provide information to get an address. The free plan costs nothing and includes a temporary address with the resettable timer. The service lists Android, iOS, and web platforms, along with custom domains and attachments; inbox protection is listed as none. Its security information says session data and email stay in RAM, are erased when the session ends, and are protected in transit with HTTPS/TLS. The privacy policy also says it may collect usage details such as IP address, browser information, visit times, and pages visited, and describes third-party tracking and advertising cookies. The FAQ advises against using it for important accounts that may need password resets because the address expires.

MinuteMail is a developer testing platform for email and authentication flows, available on the web and through an API. It provides isolated test inboxes with lifetimes from 1 to 60 minutes; the default is 15 minutes when no duration is specified. Real-time SSE delivery and message lifecycle tracking help follow email flows, while a mock OAuth identity provider supports OAuth 2.0 authorization code flows with optional PKCE. Access options include a REST API, official Python SDK, and MCP server; setup guidance covers Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor. Accounts can use verified custom domains within plan limits, and API keys can be restricted by operation scope and allowed mailbox domains. MinuteMail says it uses HTTPS/TLS in transit, database encryption at rest, hashed API keys, and row-level security. Temporary mailboxes and messages are permanently deleted at expiry; archived mailboxes retain only the email address. The service advises using it for temporary, non-sensitive communications. A free plan has 50 API calls per day, two active mailboxes, and four archived mailboxes. Paid plans start at $86/yr.
