Using smails in GetaTempMail

A token accompanies the generated address

Creating a smails mailbox returns an address and a mailbox-specific token. GetaTempMail keeps that token on the server and uses it when retrieving messages. You copy only the email address into the form you are testing; there is no reason to paste the token into another website.

This differs from a provider whose public address alone identifies the inbox for reading. A token is an access mechanism, however, not a promise about every aspect of a provider’s privacy or storage practices. Keep lasting account recovery in an inbox you control.

The smails integration normalizes sender, subject, timestamp, and body into the same message view as the other sources. Search and unread filtering work on the messages available in your current session. The preview removes active markup and remote images.

The provider documents cleanup after seven days of inactivity, but GetaTempMail access still ends after one hour. Reloading the browser reconnects an active session; it does not renew it. For repeatable automated testing, use infrastructure whose lifecycle you control rather than relying on this browser session.
