A temporary email right from your terminal written in POSIX sh
tmpmail is a command line utility written in POSIX sh 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.

# Download the tmpmail file and make it executable
$ curl -L "https://git.io/tmpmail" > tmpmail && chmod +x tmpmail
# Then move it somewhere in your $PATH. Here is an example:
$ mv tmpmail ~/bin/tmpmail is available on the AUR, which is currently being maintained by Benjamin Bädorf
$ yay -S tmpmail-git$ tmpmail --help

tmpmail -h | --version
tmpmail -g [ADDRESS]

When called with no option and no argument, tmpmail lists the messages in
the inbox and their numeric IDs. When called with one argument, tmpmail
shows the email message with specified ID.
-b, --browser BROWSER

the email
-g, --generate [ADDRESS]
Generate a new email address, either the specified ADDRESS, or
randomly create one
-h, --help
