Temporary Email FAQ: Temp Mail, OTPs, Privacy, and Auto-Delete
Clear answers for people using FastTempMail to receive short-lived signup and verification emails.
What is a temporary email address?
It is a disposable inbox created for short-term use, usually to receive OTPs, confirmation links, downloads, and signup messages without exposing your personal inbox.
How long does my inbox last?
The Cloudflare backend is currently configured for 15-minute inboxes with automatic cleanup.
Can I recover a deleted inbox?
No. Deleted and expired inboxes are intentionally short-lived and should not be used for accounts you may need to recover later.
Do HTML emails and attachments work?
HTML emails are displayed in a restricted viewer. Attachments are shown as metadata only, which keeps the inbox safer and lighter.
