Check a mailbox username

This checker runs in your browser. It does not send the username to the server or confirm whether an address is available.

Use 1–20 ASCII letters and/or digits in any order. Spaces and symbols are not allowed. This is a format check, not an availability check.

Enter a username to check its format and get practical guidance.

Generate suggestions in the same style as the standard inbox: a familiar name plus a number from 1–100. Use Locked Inbox if you want a temporary exclusive claim.

Two ways to use a temporary inbox

The homepage is the standard mode. It is fast and has no exclusive username claim: messages belong to the email address, so anyone who knows or guesses the same address may see its messages. Do not treat the address as a password.

Locked Inbox is a separate mode. It reserves an available address to one browser session while its page sends heartbeats. The claim ends after inactivity and has a hard three-hour maximum. A claim prevents other Locked Inbox sessions from claiming that same address during the active lease, but does not make the service end-to-end encrypted or suitable for secrets.

Choose the mode that fits the task. Use standard mode for convenience and low-risk tests; use Locked Inbox when you want a short exclusive claim. Keep sensitive or recoverable accounts on a mailbox you control long-term.

How to choose a username

  • Allowed format: 1–20 ASCII letters and/or digits, in any order.
  • Reserved values: administrative and service names are blocked to avoid confusion and abuse.
  • Standard-style suggestions: the generator uses a familiar name plus a number from 1–100, matching the homepage format.
  • Availability: format checks run locally. A standard username can refer to a shared address; Locked Inbox checks whether an exclusive claim is currently active.

Limits to understand

Locked claims depend on a browser cookie and the page staying active. Clearing site data or changing browser profiles may end your access. The maximum claim is three hours; after it ends, another visitor may claim that address. Neither mode should be used for banking, healthcare, important account recovery, or confidential information.
