Can you import, export, or back up a Tmailor inbox?
No. Tmailor does not support inbox import, export, or backup.
Quick access
Tmailor.com is a privacy-focused service that provides temporary, disposable email addresses without registration. One of its core principles is statelessness, which means:
👉 Emails are automatically deleted 24 hours after arrival
👉 There’s no option to import/export inbox data
👉 No backup or cloud storage of your messages is performed
❌ Why is Import/Export or Backup not Available
To maintain user anonymity and data security, tmailor.com is designed without persistent storage of messages. An optional free account can keep a list of your addresses, but it never keeps old messages. This design choice ensures:
- Emails are not stored beyond the expiration window
- No message content is retained or accessible later
- Every inbox is short-lived by design
As a result, you cannot:
- Export emails to another client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook)
- Import a mailbox or message history
- Create backups of your temp inboxes directly on tmailor.com
🔐 What You Can Do Instead
If you receive important information via temp mail that you need to keep:
- Copy and paste the content manually
- Take a screenshot of the message
- Use browser extensions to save web pages (if secure)
🧠 Remember:
Even if you reuse a temp mail address with your access token, the inbox will be empty if all messages are older than 24 hours. The same applies to addresses saved in a free Tmailor account: the account keeps the address, not old messages.
This short retention policy is a privacy advantage, ensuring your digital footprint disappears automatically.
