Can you import, export, or back up a Tmailor inbox?

Marcus LeeHow-To & Product Guides Editor

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 or any mechanism that links inboxes to users. This design choice ensures:

  • Emails are not stored beyond the expiration window
  • No user data 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:

  1. Copy and paste the content manually
  2. Take a screenshot of the message
  3. 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.

This short retention policy is a privacy advantage, ensuring your digital footprint disappears automatically.

✅ Summary

If you need longer-term access, consider pairing temp mail with a secondary email strategy, explained in this article:
