About MailHow

An honest account of what MailHow is, what it isn't, and how it works.

The idea

If you run more than one project, you own more than one domain. And your email ends up scattered across forwarding rules, “send as” hacks, and half-configured inboxes that quietly land in spam. MailHow gives all your domains real mailboxes in one unified inbox: read everything in one place, reply as any address, with the sender authentication done for you.

What we do well

  • Every domain you own in one inbox. Free to receive, pay only to send.
  • A modern, fast, keyboard-first web app (not a dated webmail skin).
  • Full IMAP and SMTP. Use Apple Mail, Outlook, or anything standard.
  • Deliverability handled: dual DKIM, SPF, DMARC, MTA-STS, blocklist monitoring.
  • EU-hosted, no trackers, no ads, no mining your mail.

What we deliberately don't do (yet)

Being honest about this saves you a bad surprise. Today MailHow does not offer:

  • Native mobile apps, so use the web app or any IMAP client for now. (A mobile-optimized experience is on the way.)
  • Calendar and contacts as a full suite. Basic CardDAV/CalDAV access works; a built-in suite is later.
  • Bulk, marketing, or newsletter sending. That’s a different product. See limits.
  • End-to-end encryption. Mail is encrypted in transit and at rest, but not E2E. See security.
  • A formal uptime SLA, because MailHow is a young service. We run nightly backups and monitoring, and we’ll always give notice before any planned change.

Trust, without the tenure

MailHow is new, and we’d rather earn trust than claim it. Your domains stay at your registrars, your mail exports over standard IMAP anytime, and our terms commit to at least 30 days’ notice before any shutdown. The underlying mail server is the open-source Stalwart project (AGPL-3.0). No proprietary lock-in on the protocol layer.

Plans

MailHow is live, and signup is open to everyone. The free tier lets you receive and read mail on up to five domains you own. The paid plan is $19 a year and adds sending, unlimited domains, and more storage. One simple flat price, no per-domain or per-user surprises (see pricing). Questions or feedback: hello@mailhow.com.
