PoofMail FAQ
Answers about PoofMail temporary inboxes, receive-only behavior, privacy limits, retention, responsible use, and production launch status.
What is a temporary email?
A temporary email is a short-lived email address for low-risk signups, newsletter tests, downloads, or manual delivery checks where a durable inbox is not needed.
How long do messages stay available?
Delivered messages are intended to stay temporary and expire automatically. Save anything important somewhere durable, and do not use PoofMail for recovery codes or sensitive messages.
Can I send email from PoofMail?
No. PoofMail is receive-only. This helps reduce spam and abuse risk.
Why did a website reject my temporary address?
Some websites choose to block temporary email domains. For important accounts or long-term access, use a reliable address you control.
Should I use PoofMail for banking, healthcare, or account recovery?
No. Use a durable, secure email account for critical services, recovery flows, financial accounts, healthcare, legal matters, and anything you need long-term.
Is PoofMail private?
PoofMail reduces unnecessary exposure of your primary email, but temporary inboxes are not secret vaults. Generated inbox reads use a browser-held read token during this rollout, so keep the browser session open and do not use temporary addresses for secrets or important recovery flows.
Is PoofMail free?
PoofMail is free to use. If ads or partner links appear, they will be disclosed and kept separate from the inbox experience.
What is not allowed?
Do not use PoofMail for fraud, phishing, harassment, impersonation, platform-rule evasion, illegal activity, or automated abuse.
Is the app fully launched?
Yes: address generation, token-protected inbox refresh, scheduled readiness smoke, operational contact forwarding, and custom-domain launch are in place.
