Features
Everything Nextmail does,
and how it does it.
90 things you can use today and 0 still to come. Only the ones still to come are marked, so an unmarked card is one that works. Every one of them is below, with what it actually does.
Domains & addresses
Nextmail is built around the domain rather than the mailbox. You point one at us, and every address on it is real.
Catch-all addresses
Every address on the domain receives, including ones that have never been created. One switch closes it.
Multiple domains
Point several domains at one inbox, subdomains included.
DMARC policy
A starter p=none record, printed to copy or written by a sync, never tightened for you.
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=…
Temporary addresses
A free inbox that takes real mail for an hour, then closes, so a signup cannot follow you.
extend it an hour at a time, up to a day
Send as any alias
Reply from the exact address the mail arrived on.
Merged inboxes
Read every address in one stream, or narrow to the two or three you actually work out of.
Forward an address elsewhere
Point any address, or everything a domain accepts, at an outside mailbox instead of this one.
Workspace branding
Put your own mark and logo in the sidebar, in place of ours.
Custom webmail domain
Your team opens its mail at a subdomain of yours, such as mailbox.yourcompany.com, with your brand on it.
Your addresses in any mail app
Read and send from an address in Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird, the Gmail app or your phone’s own mail app, with its calendar and contacts too, signed in with an app password.
Reading & organising
What happens between mail arriving and you deciding what to do about it.
Search by words or meaning
Forgiving words, operators like from: and has:, and search by meaning, inside the folder you are reading.
Read in your language
A message you cannot read, turned into a language you can, without leaving it.
La fattura scade venerdì.
The invoice is due on Friday.
the original stays one tap away
AI labels
Say what a label is for in plain words, and AI adds it to new mail that fits.
Inbox tabs
The inbox sorted into Primary, Promotions, Updates, Social and Forums, so mail from people comes first.
Thread notes
Keep a private note attached to a thread.
Analytics & graphs
What your mailbox is actually doing, drawn rather than guessed at.
Recipient suggestions
The people you already write to, offered as you type. The address book syncs with Apple Contacts and other CardDAV apps.
Keyboard-first
Search is /, the assistant is ⌘0, and the list moves under the arrow keys.
Sign-up forms for audiences
A form on your website, or a hosted link, that adds whoever fills it in to an audience.
Snooze
Put a conversation away until a time you pick, and find it back in the inbox then.
Mute
Silence a conversation you no longer need to follow. New replies skip the inbox and alert nobody.
Audiences
Named lists of your contacts, filled by hand or from a CSV file, to send to and to watch grow.
Writing & sending
The composer, and everything attached to the moment you hit send.
Templates
A body written once, versioned, and sent many times: from the composer, from your own code, or by an agent.
Send to an audience
One email to everybody in an audience, a separate copy for each person, with their own name in it.
Files
Every attachment this mailbox holds, in one place you can search, download and clear out.
Per-address email settings
Each address carries its own signature, footer and tracking. The catch-all covers what it catches, and one address’s choice copies to the rest in one step. Remote images and the blocklist can be set per address or per domain too.
Signature
Several sign-offs on each address you send from, with one picked for each message.
Writing tools
Formatting, inline completion and emoji shortcodes in the composer.
Spelling and grammar
Spelling, grammar and clarity suggestions as you write, checked on your own device.
Send in theirs
Write in your own language and have it arrive in the recipient’s.
Got it. I’ll send it over on Friday.
Ricevuto. Te lo mando venerdì.
Meetings & calendar
A calendar at /mail/calendar in month, week and day views, holding both your meetings and the mail you have queued to go out later. It syncs with Apple Calendar and other CalDAV apps.
Tue 10:00, Design review. Meetings and queued mail, one grid
Drafts
Autosaved three seconds after you stop typing, and reopened from the Drafts folder with the recipients, the subject, the body and the From address intact. The attachments stay behind.
Remind me if nobody replies
Send a message and get it back at the top of the inbox if no reply has come by the time you pick.
Undo send
A window to change your mind, and the composer comes back exactly as it was.
See when mail you sent was opened
Whether a message you sent has been opened, when, how many times and which of its links were followed. Off until you turn it on, and plain about the readings it cannot get.
Tracking on your own domain
Tracked links and the open pixel on a subdomain you choose, such as links.yourdomain.com, instead of the Nextmail address.
Files on your own domain
Download links for the files you send on a subdomain you choose, such as files.yourdomain.com, instead of the Nextmail address.
Attachments
Pick them with the paperclip or paste them in. A pasted image lands in the body rather than the file list, and a file dragged onto the composer is not attached at all. In a mailbox hosted on Nextmail, incoming files sit in object storage, one object each, and a file is fetched only when you open or download it.
Checks before you send
Your draft scored for spam, phishing and AI writing as you write it, the way a receiving server would read it.
Delivery status
Which recipients a message you sent reached, and a warning in the list when one did not.
Broadcast reports
Every send to an audience on a page of its own, with delivery, opens, clicks, unsubscribes and each person’s copy.
Sending analytics
What became of the mail you sent: delivered, bounced or reported as spam, by address and by how it was sent.
Sending lanes
App mail and newsletters travel separately, so a newsletter never delays a password reset.
Dedicated IP
An IP address that only your workspace sends from, as a paid add-on for high volume.
AI
Everything here runs against your own mailbox, and none of it sends anything without you.
Ask your inbox
A chat that can act, not just answer. On every plan, Free included.
Tasks
Give the assistant work to do by itself: on a schedule, when mail arrives, or once in the background.
Draft from a note
Give it the gist and get the whole body back, in the first person as you.
Your writing style
Drafts are shaped by how you actually write.
Thread summaries
A few lines at the top of a conversation that say what it is about, brought up to date as it grows.
Rewrite with AI
Three or five other versions of your subject or your body, shorter, longer or in another tone, to pick from.
Knowledge base
Give the AI your company’s facts: notes, files and web pages for the whole workspace, one domain or one address, used in every reply suggestion, draft and assistant answer.
Safety & authenticity
Two questions about a message you were not expecting: is the sender the domain it claims to be, and did a person write this. Both are answered on the message itself, next to the sender, rather than in a filter that quietly disappears things.
Verified sender
A mark beside the sender when the sending domain’s published records line up.
Sender pictures
A real picture for everyone you correspond with when one can be found, and a mark seeded on their identity when it cannot.
Phishing & spam filtering
Mail the sending domain itself disowns lands in Spam rather than the inbox.
Sender research & look-alike domains
Who is this, in fifty words, and is the domain a look-alike?
Written by AI
A label on the message when the words look generated rather than written.
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to reach out regarding the proposal we discussed last week. Our approach is designed to be robust, scalable, and straightforward to adopt. Moreover, it is not just about the tooling, but about the outcomes it enables for your team. In conclusion, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Filters & blocking
Spam filtering decides what is junk. This is the other half: what you have decided you do not want, however legitimate it is and whoever it is from.
Block a sender or a domain
One address, or everything from a domain, stopped before it reaches you.
Bad-language filter
Mail carrying the words you do not want to read does not open in front of you.
Rules you write yourself
Your own conditions, and what should happen to anything that matches them.
Workspaces & team
A workspace holds your domains, the mailboxes on them, and the people who read them. Sharing is per address or per whole domain, and a whole domain covers every address made on it later.
Scoped visibility
One address means one address.
read, or read and send as it, with nothing else visible
Roles & permissions levels
A role says what somebody may do, and an address grant says where, unless the role reaches every address.
read, or read and send as it, with nothing else visible
Invitations
Share with someone who has not signed up yet and have them invited.
Privacy & ownership
Privacy first is a claim every mail company makes, so here it is as a list you can hold us to: what is stripped out of a message before you see it, what is fetched on your behalf and how to stop it, and what happens to your mail when you stop paying us.
Tracking pixels stripped
The invisible image that tells a sender you opened their mail is gone before you see the message.
Remote image control
Stop a sender fetching anything from their own server while you read.
Choose which emails we send you
Per-category switches in Account → Notifications, and the ones that matter are honestly marked as unswitchable.
Your mail on object storage
Full message bodies and attachment bytes on R2, indexed per mailbox.
Bring your old mailbox
Bring the mail you already have: copy it straight from the old mailbox by signing in, or upload a Google Takeout export or an .mbox file, threaded and dated as it was.
Take your mail with you
One download from the Export page 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.
Transport encryption
Mail moves over TLS on the hops we run, and transport alone never turns the padlock green, because nothing on this backend can read the transport off a delivery.
Wire transfer approved, details attached.
Encryption at rest
Bodies, attachments and what you write are sealed before they are stored, so a copy of the database is ciphertext rather than mail.
Wire transfer approved, details attached.
End-to-end encryption
OpenPGP keys made in your browser. Mail you send to another Nextmail address can be sealed before it leaves the tab, and sealed mail addressed to you opens in the reading pane, decrypted on your machine. The keys are never ours to hand over.
