tmpmail is a command line utility written in POSIX sh that creates temporary/disposable email addresses and receives emails via the 1secmail API. It renders HTML emails in the terminal using w3m or another browser of the user's choice.

Use cases

  • create a throwaway email address from the terminal
  • receive verification emails without exposing my real inbox
  • check a disposable inbox from the command line
  • read temporary email in a text-based browser like w3m
  • copy a temp email address to the clipboard for signups
  • avoid spam when registering on websites

When to choose

  • you need quick disposable email addresses on Linux or macOS from the shell
  • you want a lightweight POSIX sh script with minimal dependencies
  • you prefer terminal-based email viewing with w3m or a configurable browser

When to avoid

  • you need to send emails, not just receive them
  • you need a permanent or long-lived email address
  • you require guaranteed email delivery, since 1secmail is a third-party service that may go down
