Mail Forwarder: Forward a Temp Address to Your Real Inbox

What 'Forward Temp Mail to Gmail' Actually Means Here

Most searches for "temp mail forward to gmail" or "permanent temp mail" are looking for the same thing: an address that behaves like a disposable inbox when you hand it to a website, but doesn't just vanish — it keeps delivering into an inbox you actually read, like Gmail. That's what a forwarding alias is. It isn't a new kind of email account; it's a Temp Mail address with a destination attached, so mail sent to it lands in your real inbox instead of an inbox that expires in a few hours.

Here's the honest state of it as of this page: forwarding is set up in the Temp Mail Android app, not on this website. In the app you confirm a destination address, create an alias, and mail addressed to that alias forwards there. The website pieces that go with it, a browser page at /forward and a Chrome extension, are built but not turned on in production yet (they sit behind a feature flag), so there is no way to link a browser today. No launch date is promised here, because none has been set.

Once the website side is live, the plan (and the limit of what's being promised — nothing beyond this) is: you link a browser to your app account with a QR code or short code, and from there you can create an alias to a destination you've already confirmed, extend how many days it stays active by spending coins, and resend a confirmation email. You cannot delete an alias, add a new destination, or change where an alias forwards from the browser — those stay in the app, where the account is actually signed in.

That restriction is deliberate, not an oversight. A forwarding alias is only useful if you trust where it points, so the system only lets you create aliases to addresses you've already proven you own by confirming an email sent to them. A browser session alone, even if someone got hold of it, can't redirect your mail anywhere new — it can only extend aliases, or create new ones, pointed at destinations you already approved from your phone.

"Permanent" is worth being precise about. On the free plan, an alias forwards for as many days as you've paid for with coins (roughly 20 coins per day, with a linked browser limited to spending 100 coins a day once that ships), and you can prepay up to 90 days ahead. You don't swap the address out when that runway gets short: you keep topping up the same alias, as often as you like. If the paid days do run out, the alias pauses, and it starts forwarding again as soon as you add days. On Premium the days are included, so an alias keeps forwarding for as long as you stay subscribed. That is what makes it an address you can hand out and keep, rather than one that quietly expires.
