Temp in this context means disposable for the test run, with a live DummyEmails inbox on an owned domain.
Use it when your suite needs an address field populated and your assertions include the mail that follows.
The tech behind temp mail for labs
Mint, attach to an owned host, receive for 20 minutes, expire. That is the whole loop. No account wall, no anonymity pitch.
What is temp email for testing?
A short-lived QA recipient. DummyEmails is that recipient plus a table that waits for incoming mail.
Why labs use temp recipients
You can finish signup, OTP, and reset checks without creating a long-lived user in a real mailbox provider.
How to choose a temp inbox
Owned domain, unique local-part, TTL that matches the spec, copy control that a human can hit. DummyEmails is built around those four.
How to use this page
Copy the address from the bar, paste it into the lab, and wait on the inbox table. Refresh if you think mail should have arrived.
Conclusion
Temp for testing is a QA job. Privacy browsing is not the product.
