About:
Tmpmail is a lightweight command-line utility written in POSIX sh that provides temporary email addresses by leveraging the 1secmail API. It allows users to generate random inboxes on demand, read incoming messages, and view attachments directly within the terminal. This tool is ideal for bypassing email verification walls or receiving one-time passcodes without exposing your personal email address.

Key Features:

Generates random temporary email addresses instantly
Reads emails and displays content in the terminal
Supports viewing and downloading attachments
Zero dependencies (POSIX sh compliant)
No registration or configuration required

Use Cases:

Signing up for services that require email verification without using your real inbox
Receiving one-time passwords (OTPs) or confirmation links securely
Testing email delivery workflows for developers

Alternatives:

mailtm – Uses the MailTM API; often has a more modern interface but may require specific runtime dependencies
guerrilla-mail – Web-based service with a CLI wrapper available; provides longer-lasting inboxes but less terminal-native
