Temporary email sending

Send from a temporary email when sending is enabled.

mailfab separates quick receive-only guest inboxes from authenticated workflows. Sending belongs to signed-in accounts and depends on the workspace email service, permissions, and the selected temporary mailbox.

Authenticated account

Temporary email sending is a signed-in workflow, not a public anonymous email sender.

Permission gated

The application keeps sending controls behind account and service configuration boundaries.

Testing use cases

Use sending for controlled QA flows, internal checks, and short-lived product workflows where your account is allowed to send.

How it works

Receive-only and send-capable workflows are different.

A browser-scoped guest inbox is built for quick incoming verification mail. When a workflow needs outbound email, use a signed-in mailbox and make sure the deployment has outbound delivery configured.

  • Use guest inboxes for instant receive-only verification checks.
  • Use signed-in mailboxes when sending, sharing, API keys, or webhooks are part of the workflow.
  • Treat outbound tests as controlled product flows, not anonymous sending.

Responsible use

Do not rely on temporary email for important long-term accounts.

Temporary addresses are useful for verification, QA, and short-lived messages. For account recovery, billing, or permanent identity, use a durable email provider you control.

  • Expiry or deletion removes access to that temporary mailbox in Mailfab.
  • Password resets sent after expiry will not be available from that inbox.
  • Mailfab does not position temporary email as a replacement for permanent personal mail.
