Introduction

testmail.app gives you unlimited email addresses and mailboxes for automating end-to-end tests through simple APIs. Send test emails to {namespace}.{tag}@inbox.testmail.app; each tag creates a separate mailbox, so you can create addresses on the fly by changing the tag and never spam real customers by mistake.

It receives, parses, spam-tests and indexes emails for retrieval via a simple JSON API or a GraphQL API. Paid plans allow temporary usage surges without cutting off CI pipelines.

Email flows such as sign-up confirmation, password reset and magic links are common E2E blind spots; a disposable inbox API makes them testable.

Features

  1. Unlimited addresses: Tags create mailboxes.
  2. JSON API: Simple retrieval.
  3. GraphQL API: Powerful queries.
  4. Spam testing: Spam checks on mail.
  5. Surge tolerance: No hard cut-offs on paid plans.

Pros

  1. Free forever plan: Start at $0.

Cons

  1. Receive-focused: Not an SMTP sandbox for your own server.
  1. Sign up to get your namespace.
  2. Use {namespace}.{tag}@inbox.testmail.app in your E2E test.
  3. Query the API for the email and assert on its content.
