We can say for sure that an email is one of the most popular elements that provides people the possibility to communicate with each other. It’s used for having private chats, for registering on websites, and also for logging in to social networks.

Everyone who uses a PC or a mobile device has his/her own personal email.

We’ll talk further about the most popular mail agents that allow getting instant access to an email to perform certain tasks (in our case — testing the software that requires authorization, registration or simply sending an email).

What is a one-time email?

So a temporary email is the mail agent that provides the possibility to instantly send a one-time text or graphical content.
