4getmailFrequently Asked Questions
1. What is 4getmail?
4getmail is a free, disposable email service that lets you generate temporary email addresses. You can use them to receive emails without revealing your personal email address. It's perfect for signing up for websites, newsletters, or anything else where you need a temporary inbox.
2. How does 4getmail work?
Simply create a temporary email address on 4getmail. You can use this address to receive emails instantly. The email will be stored on our servers for a period of time, and you can access it whenever you need. Once the email expires or you no longer need it, the address will be deleted, but you can keep the email address as long as it’s available.
3. How long is my temporary email address available?
While temporary email addresses are generally meant to be short-term, 4getmail allows you to keep your address for a longer period, as long as it's active. You can continue receiving emails until you decide to stop using the address, or if the email is no longer in use.
4. Can I use 4getmail to sign up for accounts?
Yes, you can use your temporary email address to sign up for websites, services, and newsletters without revealing your personal email address. This is especially useful for preventing spam or keeping your personal inbox clean.
5. Can I receive attachments?
Yes, you can receive attachments through your temporary email address on 4getmail. This includes documents, images, and other file types.
6. Will my email address be deleted automatically?
Email addresses are automatically deleted after a set period of inactivity. However, 4getmail gives you flexibility to keep your temporary email address active as long as you continue to receive emails. If you want to keep your address longer, simply use it periodically.
7. How do I access my emails?
Simply visit your email inbox on 4getmail. You can access all emails sent to your temporary address at any time. We also notify you when new messages are received.
8. Is my data secure?
Yes, 4getmail takes privacy seriously. We store your emails temporarily and do not share your data with third parties. We do not track your personal information, and we delete the temporary email addresses once they are no longer active.
9. Can I customize my temporary email address?
At the moment, 4getmail offers randomly generated email addresses. We may offer customization options in the future, but for now, your temporary email address will be unique and random.
10. Can I recover my emails after deletion?
Once your temporary email address is deleted or the email expires, emails cannot be recovered. Make sure to download any important emails before the address is deleted.
11. Can I use this service for business purposes?
While 4getmail is designed for personal and one-time use, you may use it for business purposes to receive emails without revealing your personal email. However, we recommend not using the service for critical communications, as it is designed to be temporary.
