Troubleshooting
Activation & Verification Code Issues
If you requested an activation link or OTP verification code and it hasn't appeared in your Free Edu & .COM Temporary Mails inbox yet, please follow these 4 steps:
- Click the "Refresh" button: While our server polls for new messages automatically every few seconds, clicking the manual Refresh button forces an immediate sync with the mail server.
- Allow 1 to 2 minutes: Some external platforms (such as Facebook, Netflix, Discord, or Steam) queue outgoing verification emails during peak hours, creating a brief 60–120 second transit delay before the message reaches our mail transfer agent (MTA).
- Change the Domain / Generate a New Address: If a specific service restricts certain public domain extensions, click "Change" or "Delete" on the homepage to generate a fresh address on an alternative domain name.
- Verify the exact spelling: Make sure you copied the full address including the domain without any leading/trailing spaces.
Pro Tip: Websites rarely send verification emails to blacklisted domains. We continuously rotate new, pristine domains to guarantee the highest deliverability rate in the industry.
Incoming emails are processed within sub-seconds upon reaching our high-speed SMTP relays. The moment the sending server completes the SMTP handshake, our real-time websocket and polling system renders the message directly onto your screen without requiring a page reload.
Some services cross-reference signups against known disposable email blacklists. When this occurs:
- Click "Change" on the home screen to pick a different domain from our active domain pool. We add new, unflagged domains weekly.
- Consider using our Temporary Gmail or EDU Temp Mail options which mimic authentic educational or corporate addresses.

Temp Mail API & Automated Testing
Our RESTful API provides endpoints to create mailboxes programmatically, poll for incoming messages, extract OTP verification tokens, and delete mailboxes. Here is a quick example of polling messages via cURL:
# 1. Fetch messages for an address
curl -X POST https://mtempmail.com/get_messages \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"email": "[email protected]"}'
curl -X POST https://mtempmail.com/get_messages \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"email": "[email protected]"}'
Visit our dedicated API Documentation Page for full schemas, rate limits, webhooks, and sample code in Python, Node.js, and PHP.
Standard free tier requests are rate-limited to 60 requests per minute per IP, which is plenty for automated QA test suites. If your application requires high-volume dedicated endpoints or higher throughput, check out our Premium Plans.
