Delete a message
Removing a selected email from your inbox doesn't immediately deactivate the address or stop the retailer from sending more. Before deleting, make sure you won't need its order details.
Addresses are kept for 3 hours by default. Extend before expiry, up to 24 hours ›
RELAY / EXPIRY PLANNER
Temporary email addresses start with a 3-hour lifespan. Each extension adds 3 hours, up to 24 hours. Check the inbox countdown on the homepage and the server-side expiry for the actual time remaining.

This page helps you plan; it doesn't access or change your inbox
01 / THE LIFECYCLE OF A TEMPORARY ADDRESS
Only an inbox that hasn't expired can keep receiving mail. If a verification code hasn't arrived, check the address and time remaining before creating a new inbox.
Create / 0 h
A temporary inbox is created automatically on the homepage and starts with a 3-hour lifespan. Copy the address, then enter it on the retailer's sign-up page.
Open inboxWait / Before expiry
A retailer's verification code may arrive quickly, while a coupon could take longer. If expiry is approaching, extend the inbox first. If a message is taking too long, follow the delivery troubleshooting steps.
Troubleshoot missing emailExtend / +3 h each time
A successful extension doesn't create a new address, and existing emails stay in the same inbox. Each request adds 3 hours. Further extensions and the final expiry depend on the server's response.
Plan your waitExpired / Can't be recovered
The address and its emails are deleted together. The old link can't restore past messages. If you may need customer support, a refund, or account recovery, switch to a long-term address before the inbox expires.
View the sign-up checklistSelecting “Get a new one” on the homepage creates a new inbox with an initial 3-hour lifespan and deactivates the old one, deleting its emails. The old address you've given to a retailer won't be updated. If you're still waiting for a message, extend the inbox instead of changing addresses.
02 / LIFESPAN PLANNER
Estimate the time for a newly created inbox. How much longer do you expect to wait? If you're already using an address, check its actual time remaining on the homepage.
You can estimate waits over 24 hours, but that won't extend your temporary email's lifespan.
Support emails may arrive days later. Even if you're only waiting an hour today, use a long-term address for future messages.
This is guidance only. It won't change your email's actual lifespan, extend it automatically, or create or switch inboxes.
PLAN / RECOMMENDATION
One-time verification codesYour estimated wait is within the initial 3 hours. A new inbox usually doesn't need an extension for this wait. If you're already using an address, check its actual countdown first. A working inbox doesn't guarantee that a retailer will accept a temporary address or send its email promptly.
Verification codes have their own expiry time. Use a code as soon as it arrives; don't confuse its validity with your inbox's remaining lifespan.
This estimate starts from the time a new inbox is created. It's not a scheduled extension. You must extend manually before expiry and confirm that the extension succeeded.
03 / ACCESS ON ANOTHER DEVICE
To regain access, you need a valid access credential. Your email address receives messages; the inbox link containing your credential opens that inbox. They aren't interchangeable.
On your original device, make sure the address has been created, then save the full inbox link containing your access credential somewhere private. A regular homepage link or a manually saved email address is not a recovery credential.
You can access the same inbox while the credential is valid and the inbox hasn't expired. Once it's open, check the email address and actual countdown. Don't assume access has been restored based only on how the page looks.
Refreshing the page with the same valid credential shouldn't create a different inbox. If you see another address, first check that the link is complete. An old email address alone can't recover its inbox.
04 / SAVE & FINISH
Deleting an email, letting an inbox expire, and saving your information are three separate actions. None changes your retailer account, cancels an order, or unsubscribes you from marketing emails.
Removing a selected email from your inbox doesn't immediately deactivate the address or stop the retailer from sending more. Before deleting, make sure you won't need its order details.
The address and its emails are deleted together. After that, you can't receive account recovery emails there. If you need ongoing access to a retailer account, switch to and verify a long-term email before expiry.
Before the inbox expires or you switch addresses, save your order number, proof of purchase, and support details, and make sure you can still access your retailer account. Saving the inbox link doesn't save the email contents.
Not sure which kind of address to use? Start with the pre-sign-up checklist; if marketing emails are already overwhelming your inbox, compare unsubscribing, filtering, and temporary email.
RELAY / WHAT'S NEXT
This page can't extend your inbox. Go to the homepage to check your current address, countdown, and extension status. For ongoing order and support emails, use a long-term email or forwarding alias.
Forwarding aliases are separate from temporary inboxes. Creating an alias won't extend your current temporary address or move emails you've already received.
