Some virtual mailbox and PO box services push notifications from their own app, some only ever email a scan - and plenty of people never install yet another single-purpose app just for that. Forward those scan emails to PINGO and get pinged without one.

How it works
One rule from the inbox your provider emails scans to.
Mailbox scans settings
Every new scan becomes a push notification on your phone.
New email
From: Your Mailbox
New mail scan ready to view
Your mailbox provider and inbox work exactly as before.
Your inbox
untouchedWho it's for
Business and professional inboxes are where this hurts most. A domain inbox, your host's webmail, a cPanel mailbox: no app, no notifications, nothing until you go and look. The email that sat there for two hours was a lead, a client, or a sale.
Privacy
The email body is never stored, and no human ever sees it. Only on a new address's very first email do we briefly scan it in memory for a link - after that, only the sender and subject are used, then discarded. The one opt-in exception is Telegram's full-content relay: sent live to your own chat, never stored on our servers either way. Scans and their contents never touch our servers.

No email content is written to disk, ever. There is no archive to leak or subpoena.
There is no email, password, or profile in the system, so there is nothing to steal.

Questions
Whatever your mailbox provider puts in its email. Most send a subject line naming the sender on the envelope, so the notification usually reads as "a letter from the tax office" rather than a bare "you have new mail" - which is the difference between something you deal with today and something that can wait a fortnight. If your provider's emails are vague, PINGO can only relay what they wrote.
It works with any of them, because it doesn't integrate with them at all - it only needs the notification emails they already send you. There's no API, no account linking, and nothing to break when a provider changes their app. If they can email you and you can forward that email, you're done.
Turn on Telegram's full-content relay and the whole email comes through to your own Telegram chat, images and file attachments included - which for most providers means the envelope scan itself arrives on your phone. It's off by default and per-address, since it's the one mode where the full email leaves the notification and lands somewhere you keep it.
It goes to whichever devices you've connected, wherever they are - there's no address, region or carrier tied to it, and no roaming involved beyond ordinary data. Scan the QR code on a second device and both get pinged, so a phone that's off or out of signal in one country isn't the only thing standing between you and a letter that mattered.
No human ever does, and the email body is never stored. Sender and subject build your notification, then they're discarded. The one exception is a new address's very first email, briefly scanned in memory for a provider's confirmation link so you can finish that step from the app. Every other email's links are ignored. Nothing is ever written to disk. Telegram's optional full-content relay sends the whole email live to your own chat, and stores it no more than anything else does.
Yes. Connect Telegram from any address and you'll get pinged there too, the same sender-and-subject notification push already sends. There's also an optional full-content relay you can turn on per address: the whole email gets sent live to your own Telegram chat, off by default, and never stored on our servers either way, exactly the same privacy rule as everything else.
It can, on a busy address, but Telegram itself already solves this: tap its "•••" menu and turn on auto-delete. That's a Telegram feature, not something PINGO controls.
No. Opening the site generates an anonymous address, stored on your device. There's no email, password, or account anywhere in the system.
Yes, anything that supports a "forward a copy" rule works, which is nearly every provider. Built-in setup guides cover Gmail and Outlook step by step, plus general steps that work for Hostinger, cPanel, and anything else.
Yes. Forward as many as you like to one address; they land in a single feed and each notification still shows who it's from. You can save a separate "Open inbox" page per inbox, tagged with that inbox's own domain, so tapping a notification opens the right one instead of the same page every time. Use separate addresses when different people shouldn't see each other's mail, since the address itself is the boundary and there's no login behind it. On the free tier, every inbox pointed at one address shares its 5-a-month cap.
Anyone holding it can see push notifications - sender and subject, never the body - since with no accounts the address itself is the boundary. What they can't do is take over. Connecting a different Telegram needs approval from something you already have connected, a new device is reported to your existing ones, a device can only ever remove itself, and Telegram can only be disconnected from the device that connected it. If someone genuinely has your address, regenerate it: the old one stops working immediately, paid status and mute rules carry over, and everything else connected is cut off. Your own devices rejoin by scanning the new QR code, and you'll need to repoint your inbox's forwarding rule.
There's no app store download either way. On Android you can turn notifications on straight from the browser. On iPhone or iPad, Apple only delivers web notifications to sites added to the Home Screen, so you'll tap Share then "Add to Home Screen" first, which takes a couple of seconds. PINGO detects this and walks you through it.
Always. You're forwarding a copy, so your provider still delivers every message to your real inbox exactly as before. PINGO sits alongside it and only turns arrivals into notifications.
Mail keeps arriving in your real inbox exactly as before, PINGO just stops pinging your phone until next month. A one-time $9 removes that cap for good, and any new address you buy starts unlimited from day one.
Your address itself never expires. Type it back in on the new device to reconnect, or scan a QR code from your old device beforehand to add the new one instantly.
Since PINGO never asks for your email or creates an account, there's no lookup we can do either, that's the same privacy tradeoff that keeps your mail unread and unstored. Check the forwarding rule in your own inbox settings (Gmail, Hostinger, wherever you set it up) - your PINGO address is sitting right there as the forwarding destination. If you truly can't find it, you can always start over with a new free address.
It's permanent and immediate: that address stops working on every device you've connected it to, not just the one you're deleting it from, and there's no undo. If you're only trying to disconnect this one device while keeping the address active on others, don't delete it, just close the app or clear this browser's local storage instead.
