Mailboxes and addresses

# Email at your name an address for life

Own the domain your email lives on, and the address stays yours whatever else changes.

Providers come and go. The domain you own does not.

How it works

## Running in three steps.

1. 01
   
   Add your domain
   
   Add it in Settings, Domains. We print the records to publish.
2. 02
   
   Publish the records
   
   Paste them at your DNS host. The domain goes green when they resolve.
3. 03
   
   Write from it
   
   Pick the address in the composer and send.

What it runs on

## The parts doing the work.

Nothing here is a separate product. Each one is a piece of the mailbox you already have.

Multiple domains

Point several domains at one inbox, subdomains included.

acme.com acme.dev team.acme.com hey.acme.io

Catch-all addresses

Every address on the domain receives, including ones that have never been created. One switch closes it.

hello@ yourdomain.com delivered

billing@ yourdomain.com delivered

careers@ yourdomain.com delivered

anything-at-all@ yourdomain.com delivered

oct-2026-signup@ yourdomain.com delivered

Send as any alias

Reply from the exact address the mail arrived on.

to billing@acme.com

from billing@acme.com

Merged inboxes

Read every address in one stream, or narrow to the two or three you actually work out of.

hello@acme.com

me@acme.dev

support@acme.io

Block a sender or a domain

One address, or everything from a domain, stopped before it reaches you.

deals@spammy.io blocked sender

anyone@spammy.io blocked domain

hr@recruit.co language filter

ci@acme.dev your rule → archive

Account security

A code from your authenticator app, on top of your password.

Bring your old mailbox

Bring the mail you already have: a Google Takeout export from Gmail, or an .mbox file from Apple Mail, Thunderbird and most desktop apps, threaded and dated as it was.

Take your mail with you

One download from Settings → Export with everything in it: every message and attachment as mbox files another mail app opens, plus your contacts, calendar, labels, rules, templates, notes and settings.
