About

# We are fixing email, in plain sight.

Nextmail is a mail client and a mail host, built on the argument that every problem people have with email belongs in one product, and that you should be able to read exactly what that product does and leave it whenever you like.

## Email is not one problem

Ask anyone what is wrong with their inbox and you get a list rather than a complaint. The address that leaked to a data broker. The newsletter that will not let go. The invoice in a language they do not read. The message from a domain one character off their bank’s. The four addresses that need four apps to read.

Every one of those has a product behind it, and they are all somebody else’s. That is the state of things: several subscriptions, several privacy policies, and several companies holding a copy of your mail between them.

We do not think that is a list of separate problems. We think it is one product nobody has finished building.

## What we hold to

01

### One product, not a shelf

Everything goes into the mail client rather than beside it. Addresses on your own domain, phishing and authentication checks, filters, translation, scheduling, an assistant that can act on a thread. One place, one price, one privacy policy to read.

02

### Privacy first, and on by default

Tracking pixels are stripped from every message before you see it, and one switch holds pictures from a sender’s server until you ask for them. Nothing about your mail is sold, and nothing is sold against it.

### Freedom is being able to leave

Mail arrives on a domain you own, so moving is a DNS change rather than a migration. The higher plans add room and a few features of their own, such as team members, AI labels, directory sync and the uptime guarantee, and the pricing page lists each one. Pricing is per workspace and never per seat, so adding somebody is not a decision you have to weigh.

## Where this goes

The end of the argument is that every email is worth running on something its owner controls. That is a long way from where we are today, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise, which is why the features that are not here yet are the ones that carry a label. There are 107 you can use now and 0 still to come; only the second group is marked, and each of them says what is missing rather than what is planned.

Ahead of us: addresses that expire on a date you set. The REST API is no longer on this list; it is on. The typed SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Go, Java and C# are written and tested against it. Outbound webhooks are off it too, and so are third-party OAuth clients, which get only the workspace, addresses and permissions you give them. Nor is encryption between Nextmail mailboxes: the keys are made in your browser, the mail is sealed before it leaves the tab, and the private half is never ours to hand over.

We ship, we write down exactly what shipped, and we keep going until an inbox on your own domain is the ordinary choice rather than the considered one.
