✦ Frequently Asked Questions

Real Answers About How Tempmails Works

Pulled directly from the official plugin documentation. No fluff — just the facts.

⚙ Setup

Does this plugin require a third-party email service?

Tempmails is built to be self-hosted. You don't need expensive external APIs like SendGrid or Mailgun to manage your temporary addresses.

The system handles everything through your server's native capabilities or a direct IMAP connection to your existing mail server.

→Zero monthly subscription fees for APIs
→Works with standard shared hosting
🔧 Technical

What PHP extensions does the server need?

For optimal performance and mailbox synchronization, we require a few standard PHP extensions found on most modern environments.

php-imap, php-mbstring, php-json
→PHP 7.4 or higher is recommended
→Works with Nginx and Apache
🌐 IMAP

Can I use my own domain names for generated addresses?

Absolutely. You can point multiple domains to your Tempmails installation and allow users to choose their preferred domain suffix.

yourdomain.com
anotherdomain.com

Setup is managed via the plugin's Domains tab in the admin dashboard.

🔒 Privacy

How is message deletion handled?

Privacy is our core pillar. When a user deletes a temporary inbox, we perform a Soft Delete followed by a permanent purge.

→24-hour retention buffer (optional)
→Auto-cleanup cron jobs every 60 mins
→No user data is logged during generation
🎨 Design

Can I fully white-label and customize the inbox UI?

The inbox is rendered using customizable templates. You can match the UI perfectly with your brand's style guide.

→CSS variable support for easy colors
→Custom logo and brand placement
→Fully responsive layout components
💰 Pricing

Is the plugin free? Will it always be free?

The core engine of Tempmails is licensed under GPLv2 and is free to use forever on as many sites as you want.

→Open Source core on GitHub
→No hidden per-email costs
→Premium addons available for purchase
🚨 Troubleshooting

Emails are not showing up in the inbox — what do I check?

Usually, this is related to cron jobs not firing or IMAP credentials being slightly incorrect. Turn on debugging to see exact logs.

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
→Check firewall port 143/993
→Verify host connection limit
🧩 Addons

How do I build an addon or extend the plugin?

Tempmails is highly extensible using standard WordPress hooks. You can register new addons using our registration filter.

add_filter('tempmails_registered_addons', 'my_func');
→Developer documentation available
→50+ hooks and filters available
