Short answer
PoofMail is designed for short-lived inbox use, not permanent storage. Temporary inbox content should expire after a limited retention window once inbox delivery is active. Important messages belong in an email account you control long term.
Temporary message content
When delivery is active, temporary inbox messages are intended to be kept only long enough for normal short-term use such as confirmations, low-risk signups, and manual testing. PoofMail should not be used as a vault, archive, recovery mailbox, or evidence store.
Operational and abuse-prevention logs
Infrastructure, request, security, and abuse-prevention logs may be retained separately for reliability, fraud prevention, debugging, and Terms enforcement. These logs should be limited to what is needed to run and protect the service.
What not to store in PoofMail
- password reset links for important accounts;
- banking, healthcare, legal, tax, school, or work messages;
- identity documents, private keys, recovery codes, or secrets;
- anything you may need after the temporary window expires.
Current app status
The public utility is still being prepared for real inbox delivery. Until backend delivery is active, generated addresses are for preview and manual testing only.
