Emails are retained for 1 hour on the Free plan and 7 days on Pro.
Mail.td keeps your temporary email address and inbox active longer than most services.
Emails are retained for 1 hour on the Free plan and 7 days on Pro. These periods apply to email messages, not mailbox accounts. After that, emails and attachments are permanently deleted.
Mailbox: Stays active as long as you log in at least once every 3 months. If you don't log in for 3 months, the mailbox is deleted.
Pro accounts: Not affected by the 3-month inactivity rule while subscribed. If you cancel Pro and don't resubscribe within 90 days, all mailboxes under the account are permanently deleted.

Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't Mail.td keep emails forever?
Emails are retained for 1 hour on the Free plan and 7 days on Pro.
What happens if I cancel Pro?
Pro features (custom domains, webhooks) are disabled at period end. Existing emails are kept for 1 hour afterwards. If you don't resubscribe within 90 days, all mailbox accounts under the account are deleted.
Are deleted emails recoverable?
No. Once retention expires, or you manually delete, messages are removed from storage and not recoverable from backups.
Does the address itself expire when emails do?
No. The address stays active as long as the mailbox does — log in at least once every 3 months. New emails keep arriving; old ones get cleaned up after their retention window.
Can I extend retention for a specific email?
There's no per-email extension — retention is set by your plan. To keep a particular email longer, forward it from the inbox to a permanent address before retention expires.
