After you submit a sign-up form, the site sends a message to your temporary address. This guide helps you spot the right one and open it.
What you need
- An address already used on a site: see how to sign up with a temporary email.
- The FreeTemp tab, still open.
Steps
- Watch the inbox. Messages show up live, so do not reload.
- Look at the sender and subject. Verification emails often say "verify", "confirm", "activate" or "code", and come from the name of the site you just used.
- Tap the message to open it in the isolated preview.
- If it contains a code, a quick-code card shows it with a copy button. Continue with how to receive a verification code.
- If it contains a button or link, follow how to open a confirmation link.
Common problems
- The inbox is empty. Wait a minute, then use the missing-email checklist.
- The message looks odd or has no images. External images are blocked on purpose. The text and links are still there.

How long should I wait?
Usually a minute or two. If nothing arrives after that, check the address and request one resend.
