Temporary addresses expire
3 hours by default, extended by 3 hours each time, up to 24 hours. The address and its emails are deleted at expiry and cannot be recovered.
Terms of Service · Please read before using
Email can receive messages, but it cannot protect your gaming account
Posttemp provides temporary inboxes and alias forwarding. Account registration and recovery, as well as the security of your assets, depend on your control of the email address and the gaming platform’s rules.
Aliases depend on your real email
After logging in, you can create up to 100 aliases. Messages are forwarded to your real email. Aliases are not permanent storage, and delivery is not guaranteed.
You are responsible for your accounts
For accounts with balances, paid items or important identity information, use an email address you control long-term and set up the platform’s account recovery options.
These terms apply to the temporary inbox, passwordless login, forwarding aliases and related email viewing features you use on posttemp.com. Before using the service, read these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you cannot accept these limits, stop using the service and handle any linked accounts before deleting the address.
Posttemp is not an account custodian for gaming or social platforms and does not provide account storage, proof of ownership or account recovery. If you have questions about these terms, your address status or email delivery, contact support@posttemp.com. Do not send login codes, authenticator keys or gaming passwords.
01 · What we provide and for how long
Temporary inboxes require no login: open the website to get an address and view incoming messages. They last 3 hours by default. Each extension adds 3 hours, up to 24 hours total. Check the actual expiry time shown in your inbox, and don’t wait until the last minute to extend it.
Forwarding aliases require you to verify a real email address with a code and log in. You can create up to 100 aliases per account. Active aliases forward messages to your real email and can be disabled or deleted in the dashboard. They don’t have the temporary inbox’s 3-hour countdown, but still depend on the alias and account status and service availability; they are not permanent email addresses.
Temporary addresses and forwarding aliases are for receiving email only; you cannot send or reply to messages through them. An expired temporary address does not automatically become an alias, and creating an alias does not move emails from a temporary inbox. For long-term email access, create an alias first, then update the address on the platform by following its process.
Inbox history is not a backup
The forwarding dashboard lets you view email archives from approximately the last 30 days; it is not unlimited file storage. Keep important messages in your own real email account, and don’t rely on temporary inbox content or archives as your only copy.
You can go straight to the temporary inbox or sign in to manage forwarding aliases. If you haven’t decided how to use the address, read the Address Lifespan Guide.
02 · Consider the account’s value before sharing an address
Being able to receive a sign-up code doesn’t mean an address is suitable for the account’s entire lifespan. Before submitting an address, check whether you can change it after registration, whether further verification is required, and whether you might need it for account recovery later.
The following are factors to consider, not guarantees of compatibility with any platform or account security. Even for a trial account, follow the platform’s rules. “Alt account” does not mean you’re allowed to bypass restrictions.
| Account type | Check before submitting an address | Guidance and limitations |
|---|---|---|
| One-time trial | Do you only need a code once, with no later login, purchases or account recovery? | A temporary address may work. If you’ll need further verification, change the address before it expires. |
| Test servers and access applications | Could access or eligibility notices arrive days or weeks later? Does the platform require you to keep access to the email address? | If notices may be delayed, consider a forwarding alias or an email address you control long-term. Don’t rely on repeated temporary inbox extensions for weeks. |
| Regular community account | Does the platform allow aliases? Can you change the email address on the account? Are other recovery options available? | You can use a forwarding alias if the platform allows it. Keep your real email account active and regularly check that the alias is enabled. |
| Account with valuable assets | Does the account have a balance, paid items, transaction history, creator earnings or important identity information? | Use an email address you control long-term, enable the platform’s two-step verification and save your recovery details. Don’t rely on this service as your only recovery method. |
If an account is already linked to a temporary address that’s about to expire, check the platform’s settings to see if you can change the email address. Complete verification while the old address can still receive messages. If the platform won’t let you change it, contact its support team directly. Posttemp cannot change account details on a platform or verify account ownership.
03 · Protect more than just the address
You must have the legal right to use your real email account and keep its login and recovery methods secure. Your real email is used to sign in to Posttemp and receives forwarded messages. If it’s unavailable, full or controlled by someone else, forwarding and login may be affected.
Access to a temporary inbox depends on credentials saved in your browser. Knowing the address alone doesn’t let you recover access. Clearing browser data, switching devices or losing your credentials may make the inbox inaccessible. Closing the webpage does not pause the expiry timer, and support cannot promise to restore access.
- Keep your gaming platform password, recovery codes, linked-account records and any necessary proof of purchase somewhere safe. Don’t share email verification codes on public pages.
- Sign out of the forwarding dashboard after using a shared device. Don’t give your access credentials to third-party scripts, boosting services or account traders.
- Enable the platform’s two-step verification for important accounts and make sure your backup recovery methods still work.
- Follow the sign-up and usage rules of gaming, community and social platforms. Don’t use multiple addresses to bypass account limits.
A platform may reject certain domains, temporary addresses or aliases, or require additional verification after sign-up. Posttemp does not guarantee that any platform will accept posttemp.com. If an address is rejected, follow the platform’s rules and use a suitable email address instead of repeatedly switching addresses to get around its restrictions.
04 · Allowed uses and what’s off limits
This service is for lawful email reception, privacy separation and authorized testing. References to gaming accounts, social alt accounts or development testing do not authorize you to violate a third-party platform’s terms.
Read both lists below: a lawful purpose still requires lawful conduct. You are responsible for the addresses you submit, the accounts linked to them and your activity through the service.
Allowed · Routine email use
- Sign-up verificationReceive codes and notifications for your own accounts, where the platform allows it.
- Separate aliasesUse different addresses for different games or communities to reduce exposure of your real email.
- Authorized testingTest sign-up, notification and email delivery flows that you are authorized to test.
- Manage incoming mailView your own messages and disable forwarding routes you no longer need.
Prohibited · These uses are not allowed
- Spam and harassmentAbuse addresses to create accounts in bulk, harass recipients or help spread spam.
- Fraud and impersonationImpersonate others, phish, hijack accounts, steal verification codes or handle proceeds of crime.
- Bypassing platform restrictionsGet around bans, risk controls, eligibility requirements, account limits or other restrictions.
- Illegal activity and attacksDistribute illegal content, deliver malicious code, or attack or disrupt services.
To report suspected abuse, contact support@posttemp.com with the relevant address, time and verifiable details. Don’t access someone else’s email to make a report, or publicly share their complete private messages.
05 · Disabling, deleting and changing addresses are different
Before changing an address’s status, check whether it’s still linked to a gaming or community account. Deleting a record from our service does not unlink it from a platform, which may still send account recovery codes to the old address.
These actions have different effects. Disabling forwarding does not pause email receipt so you can collect messages later, and deleting an email does not retract a copy that has already been forwarded. Act only when you’re sure you no longer need the address, and check the email settings on linked platforms after making important changes.
- Disable a forwarding alias
- The alias record remains, but messages received while it’s disabled are discarded and not forwarded. Re-enabling it restores forwarding for future messages only; it won’t deliver emails received while it was disabled.
- Delete a forwarding alias
- This removes the alias’s forwarding configuration, so you can no longer rely on it to receive messages. Change the email address on any linked accounts before deleting it. We can’t promise you’ll be able to get the same address or restore its previous settings.
- Change a temporary address
- Create a new 3-hour inbox and delete the old one. The old address and emails aren’t transferred. If verification is still pending, restart it after changing the address on the platform.
- Temporary address expires
- The address and its emails are deleted and cannot be recovered. Leaving the webpage open won’t stop expiry. Extend the address in advance or change the email on any linked accounts.
- Delete an email or forwarding archive
- This removes the relevant record from the messages you can view through our service. It does not retract copies already delivered to your real email or delete records on the gaming platform. Save anything you need to keep to your own email account first.
When you stop using an account for a long time, check its linked email settings before clearing aliases. For a full timeline and switching tips, see the Address Lifespan Guide.
06 · What to do about delays, failures and outages
Receiving and forwarding depend on the sender, network, email systems and destination mailbox. Messages may be delayed, filtered as spam, rejected or fail to arrive. Page examples, sample verification codes and a successful delivery on one occasion do not guarantee that the next message will arrive, arrive instantly or be recoverable.
If a verification code doesn’t arrive, first check that the complete address entered on the platform matches your current address. Then check the time remaining on your temporary inbox or confirm that your alias is enabled. If you use forwarding, also check your real email’s spam folder, available storage and filtering rules. Then request a new code at a frequency permitted by the platform.
When contacting support, share details, not secrets
Please provide your Posttemp address, the sending platform, when the issue occurred (including time zone), and whether you used a temporary inbox or alias forwarding. Don’t send one-time codes, access tokens, passwords, authenticator keys or unrelated private email content.
Support can investigate based on the information you provide, but cannot promise to recover emails that have expired, been deleted, rejected by the sender or never been delivered. If a code is for an asset-related action or account recovery, also use other recovery options provided by the platform; don’t rely only on an investigation by this service.
07 · Service changes, abuse handling and liability
Changes to the service and these terms
We may change features, quotas or availability for maintenance, security, legal or product reasons, and will explain relevant changes on the applicable pages. Updates to these terms will be dated on this page. If the new terms don’t suit your needs, handle any linked accounts before stopping use.
Forwarding aliases can help receive routine notifications over time, but we do not guarantee permanent operation or indefinite address retention. For accounts that cannot tolerate a break in email access, set up a separate email address and the platform’s recovery options in advance instead of relying on temporary extensions or a single forwarding route.
Abuse and security measures
If we suspect a violation of these terms, a threat to the service or harm to others, we may limit requests, suspend forwarding, disable aliases or terminate related access. In urgent security situations, we may act before notifying you. If you believe we’ve made a mistake, email support with specific details to request a review.
These measures do not mean we can determine who owns an account on a gaming platform, and we do not promise to retain addresses used for violations. Do not try to bypass restrictions already applied by generating new addresses or creating other aliases.
Liability and disputes
Posttemp does not control third-party platforms’ sign-up processes, bans, domain acceptance policies or account recovery decisions. We therefore cannot guarantee successful registration, freedom from account restrictions or recovery of assets. Choose an email address based on the value of your account, and accept the associated risks of leaked credentials, breaking platform rules or failing to maintain recovery options.
These terms do not exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, nor do they take away any rights you have under that law. If you have a dispute about the service or these terms, first write to support@posttemp.com with the relevant address, what happened and how you’d like the issue resolved. If it cannot be resolved informally, follow the procedures set out by applicable law and the competent authorities.
