A temporary email right from your terminal

tmpmail is a command line utility that allows you to create a temporary email address and receive emails to the temporary email address. It uses 1secmail's API to receive emails.

By default, emails will be generated by random unless the --generate argument is followed by the desired email address.

By default w3m is used to render the HTML emails on the terminal. But if you prefer another text based web browser or would rather view the email in a GUI web browser such as Firefox, simply use the --browser argument followed by the command needed to launch the web browser of your choice.
