(async () => {
const createMail = await mail.generate({mail: 'MySuperFakeEmail'}); // => {addres: 'mysuperfakeemail@kerenkey.com'}
const getInboxMail = await mail.inbox({withHtml: true}); // => mailInbox: [{from: [{address: 'SomeEmail@SomeDomain.com', name: 'John Doe'}], intro: 'Mail content!', subject: 'important mail'}]
})();
