Show HN: Un.limited.mx – Free Email Testing Service for Dev/QA Teams

I've built un.limited.mx, a free service that helps developers and QA engineers create and manage multiple email accounts for testing purposes. This came from watching my own software development and QA teams waste countless hours managing multiple test accounts, setting up temporary email services, and dealing with email verification flows.

Key features: - Free, no credit card required - Unlimited email addresses which you can create on the fly - Basic link click tracker so you know which emails have been confirmed.

- Perfect for testing: - Email confirmation flows - Password reset processes - Multi-account scenarios - Email template testing - Link tracking verification

I built this after seeing my teams: - Waste time creating and managing multiple Gmail accounts - Struggle with temporary email services that were unreliable - Spend hours debugging email verification flows - Deal with email service rate limits during testing - Get blocked by spam filters when testing email flows

This is a simpler alternative that focuses specifically on the needs of developers and QA engineers, born from real-world pain points I've witnessed in software development teams.

Try it out at https://www.un.limited.mx

Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement!

like for automated testing with puppeteer, ie: register, then check email via api and click validation link for example. I would pay for that feature.

I could do that. How much would you pay?

I've released a new feature that allows you to retrieve a list of URLS from the inbound emails via API. There is now an API page that makes it pretty straight forward. Let me know if you have any further comments.

Awesome. I’ll check it out. Sometimes validation is a number though

thats a good point. I could also include the email body in the api response. Then you could regex to get the code. Later on i could layer in a ai parser to extract the code and just return that.
