A shared inbox for test accounts the whole team can read
A shared inbox for test accounts is a receive-only address, owned by the workspace rather than a person, where the confirmation and OTP emails for test signups land and every member can read them.

In short
Instead of registering test accounts to one engineer’s Gmail, give each test account an Inflovy inbox inside a project. Everyone in the workspace sees the same messages and verification codes, history is kept for 7 to 90 days depending on plan, and members are never charged per seat.
The common problem
Test-account emails land in one person’s inbox; when they are out, the code is stuck.
Shared QA mailboxes with one password are a security finding waiting to happen.
Old test messages are impossible to find when a regression appears later.
Gmail "+" aliases leak your real address, sites strip the "+", and Gmail silently de-duplicates identical test emails.
How Inflovy helps
One inbox per test account, grouped into projects (Signup, Staging, Mobile).
Every member sees every inbox; roles control who can create and delete.
Search by sender, subject or address across the whole project.
Expiry is shown on every message; retention is a plan feature, not a surprise.
One engineer’s inbox versus a workspace inbox.
Where the difference shows up day to day.
| Need | Personal inbox | Inflovy |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | The test mailbox belongs to whoever set it up. | The workspace owns the inbox and its history. |
| Reading the code | Ask them to forward it. | Open the inbox; the code is a copy chip. |
| When someone leaves | The accounts and the history leave with them. | Nothing changes; membership is separate from ownership. |
| Automation | None, or a fragile IMAP script. | API and webhooks on paid plans. |
Questions people ask before switching.
Short answers. Inflovy is a receive-only test inbox for developers and QA teams; it does not replace your mailbox or send anything.
How many people can share an inbox?
Every workspace member sees every inbox: 3 members on Free, 5 on Pro, 15 on Team. Members are never a paid unit.
Can I limit who sees a project?
Workspace members see all projects. Project roles (owner / member) control who can archive or delete a project, not who can read it.
Can the inbox send replies?
No. Inflovy is receive-only, which is what makes it safe to share widely.
