ChatTempMail Email Forwarding Feature Guide: Making Temporary Email Smarter and More Convenient

Email Forwarding: The Smart Upgrade for Temporary Email

In the digital age, we frequently need to register accounts on various websites, but we don't want our real email to be flooded with spam. Temporary email perfectly solves this problem, but traditional temporary email has a pain point: the need to frequently check for new emails. ChatTempMail's email forwarding feature completely solves this problem, allowing you to protect your privacy while never missing any important emails.

What is Email Forwarding Feature

The email forwarding feature is an intelligent service of the ChatTempMail platform that can automatically forward emails received by your temporary email to your specified regular email address. This means you don't need to frequently log into your temporary email to check for new messages - all important information will appear in your main inbox in a timely manner.

How Email Forwarding Works

ChatTempMail's email forwarding feature is based on advanced email processing technology:

Smart Email Processing Flow

• Email Reception: When an email is sent to your temporary email, the system first receives and parses the email content
• Content Processing: The system preserves the complete format of the email, including HTML styles, images, and attachments
• Security Check: Automatically filters malicious links and suspicious content to ensure the security of forwarded emails
• Formatted Forwarding: Adds clear identification information to forwarded emails, including original sender, recipient, and forwarding time
• Instant Delivery: Sends emails to your target inbox through reliable email service providers (Resend)

Forwarded Email Format

Forwarded emails will contain the following information:

• Subject Prefix: All forwarded emails will have "[ChatTempMail Forward]" prefix added to the subject for easy identification
• Original Information: The top of the email will display the original sender, recipient (temporary email address), and original subject
• Complete Content: Preserves all content of the original email, including HTML format and plain text versions
• Service Identification: The bottom of the email will note that this is an email forwarded by ChatTempMail
