Temporary Mail

[Razdnut]

I was thinking, if, in line with the idea of aliased emails, it would be possible to introduce a self-destruction timer to have temporary emails? Many times, to subscribe to a service, you only need an email to use for a few minutes so you don't find yourself covered in marketing emails.

Hi @Razdnut,

I think it's an interesting idea! If you know in advance that you don’t want mail in a certain alias emailbox to live longer than a few minutes or hours, a self-destruction timer (i.e. auto-delete after X time) could definitely help reduce clutter and stop unwanted marketing emails from piling up the global mailbox.

If there's enough interest for this, I can add it to the roadmap 😄

Exactly. Of course, I can go and delete the credentials manually right now, but it would be nice and useful to set up a section for temporary emails. For example, even though I have five email addresses, I use one for one-off registrations, but it's already full of spam, so I'll have to delete it.
