Your addresses in any mail app
Your mailbox, in the app you already use.
Add your Nextmail addresses to Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird or the Gmail app. Folders, read state and stars stay the same everywhere, and what you send still goes out through Nextmail.
In short
What does a mail app need?
A server to read from, a server to send through and a password. Every address that keeps its mail in Nextmail has all three: IMAP or POP3 for reading, SMTP for sending, and app passwords made for that one address.
How it works
A password for each app
Create an app password on the address’s Mail apps tab and paste it into the app with the settings shown beside it. It is 16 letters, shown once, and opens that one address only.
The same mailbox everywhere
Your folders and labels appear as folders. Read or star a message in the app and Nextmail shows the same, and the other way round. What you send from the app lands in Sent.
Set it up for someone else
Email a one-time setup link instead of passing a password around. It works once within three days and shows a new app password, the settings and, on Apple devices, a profile that adds the account in one step.
Hand out passwords from code
Create, rename and revoke app passwords, send setup links and turn connections on or off from the API, the SDKs or the CLI.
import { nextmail } from '@nextmail/sdk' const { password, servers } = await nextmail.domains.createAppPassword(domainId, addressId, { name: 'iPhone',}) console.log(servers.imap.host, servers.smtp.port, password) await nextmail.domains.sendMailAppSetup(domainId, addressId, { recipient: 'ada@acme.com' })What you get
In the product today
Encrypted on every port
IMAP, SMTP and POP3 use SSL/TLS from the first byte.
One address per password
A password opens one address and nothing else.
Revoke any time
Its app is signed out within about five minutes.
Same rules as the web
Mail from the app gets the same sending checks and limits.
Calendar and contacts too
CalDAV and CardDAV apps sync them with the same password.
Choose what connects
Turn IMAP, POP3, SMTP, CalDAV or CardDAV off for one address.
Good practice
Getting the most out of it
- 01
One password per device
Name each one after its device, so revoking one leaves the others working.
- 02
Choose IMAP over POP3
IMAP keeps folders and read state in step. POP3 only downloads the inbox.
- 03
Send a link, not a password
A setup link reaches the right person and works only once.
