## What SnapMail is

SnapMail is a disposable (temporary / throwaway / burner) email service. A temporary email address is a short-lived inbox you can use to receive emails without revealing your real address. The address — and every message in it — is automatically deleted after a set period. This protects your privacy, keeps your primary inbox free of spam, and avoids leaving an identity trail.

SnapMail is **receive-only**: it can receive email (including verification codes and attachments) but cannot send email. This is a deliberate design choice that keeps the service fast, secure, and resistant to abuse. For sending email, users should use a regular email provider.

Tagline: "Temp Mail that appears, works, and disappears." / "Making the world SPAM free. One mail at a time."

## Who it's for

- People signing up for websites, apps, newsletters, or free trials they don't fully trust.
- Online shoppers who want to avoid marketing spam after a purchase.
- Developers and testers who need a working inbox for QA without using a real account.
- Privacy-conscious users avoiding data brokers, email tracking pixels, and data-breach exposure.
- Anyone who needs a quick one-time verification code without committing their real email.

It is **not** appropriate for: banking, primary or long-term accounts, password resets on important services, or any sensitive communication, because the inbox is public-purpose, short-lived, and not secured for confidential data.

## How it works (step by step)

1. Open https://www.snapmail.in and click "Generate" — a unique temporary address is created instantly. No signup, password, or personal info is required.
2. Copy the address and paste it into any website signup, verification form, or service that asks for an email.
3. Incoming emails appear in the inbox in real time (delivered via server-sent events), including verification codes, confirmations, and messages.
4. Read what you need. When the address expires, it and all its messages are permanently deleted — no traces left behind.
5. Generate a new address any time you need a fresh inbox.
