Create inboxes with explicit expiry windows
Set `expiresAt` or short-lived retention at creation time so OTP, trial, abuse, and staging flows stop accumulating mailbox state by accident.
Temporary email API with expiry controls for privacy and QA
Provision short-lived email addresses with explicit expiry and cleanup controls. Use temporary inboxes for privacy, untrusted flows, and staged automation.

Lifecycle controls
Set mailbox lifetime and ownership as part of the workflow
Temporary inboxes in MailSlurp are private mailboxes with explicit expiry, retrieval APIs, and environment controls so short-lived email stays governed.
Explore
Keep every temporary inbox private and attributable
Tag, name, and organize inboxes by environment, test suite, or workflow owner so short-lived addresses still have clear operational ownership.
Wait for matching messages instead of polling public temp sites
Use MailSlurp waits and match filters to receive the exact message you need by subject, sender, unread state, or timing window.
Choose the transport mode that fits the job
Use API-native, SMTP-backed, or virtual inbox patterns depending on whether the workflow needs real delivery, protocol access, or safe no-send capture.
Set expiry windows and cleanup policy as part of the workflow
Treat mailbox lifetime as an engineering control. Create short-lived inboxes, capture only the messages you need, and let retention stay explicit instead of accidental.
Provision inboxes on demand
Create isolated addresses for users, tenants, releases, or tests without shared mailbox state.
Route inbound messages cleanly
Push messages, attachments, aliases, and replies into the right workflow without manual triage.
Developer integration
Use inbox APIs, SMTP, and webhook events in the same workflow
Start with SDK helpers for inbox creation and message waits, then move into event-driven routing when the workflow expands.
- Generated SDKs for major languages
- API + SMTP + IMAP support where needed
- Docs-backed patterns for inboxes and message assertions
