Premium one mailbox providers right now? A rare gem. Mutant Mail is a god send for those who manage multiple domains. It eliminates the need to setup multiple email accounts within email clients or check multiple webmails regularly as all emails are forwarded to a single email of your choosing. When one replies to an email, it gets sent out exactly as if it was sent via the domain owner (so the user has no clue any forwarder was used). Find more info on reply to forwarded email with original address. Just hit reply from Single Inbox and we ensure your client recieve email from your domain.
How different is this from fastmail service? The most important difference is, we don’t store any emails at all. We have taken that out of the equation, because we all already have at least one email provider, that we trust with privacy. Now since we have not used the service our self, it’s difficult to say how they do forwarding and can you reply to those forwarded emails or not. Also, since they store emails, it’s doubtful that they help with the niche we are specifically into, to let you manage all your domain emails from a single Inbox. There are two kinds of products on market, one that tries to do all. That’s what FastMail seems to be doing, competing against Gmail directly. Other types of products are niche-specific. That’s Mutant Mail, we are a solution to a specific problem of managing all domain’s emails, from one Inbox, on the server-side, without the hassle of logging into each email id. And our settings, features, roadmap reflect the same.
Your Domains – Domains or custom domains come with various extension (.com, .net, .org etc) that are attached to your account on Mutant Mail and used to create aliases. You need to own a domain name to attach it to MutantMail. Domain names can be easily purchased from domain registrars such as namecheap, godaddy or hostinger. Monthly Bandwidth – It’s the amount of data that’s allowed to be transmitted per month. On Mutant Mail bandwidth is incremented each time an email is forwarded or a reply is sent (this is the data). Mutant Mail reset the bandwidth on 1st of every month. When an alias is deactivated or deleted emails sent to it do not count towards your bandwidth.
Is it true, that you do not store or log any emails? It is absolutely true. We do not store, log or read any email that passes through our system. That’s why we have concept of recipient email id. Your email ids (that are associated with Mutant Mail), are managed by your recipient email ids. These email ids store your real emails, contacts etc. Mutant Mail only acts as routing system in between your client and your recipient email id. Thus, it ensure your brandin/domain identity is maintained when you hit reply on your recipient email id.
Gmail introduced email sub addressing, often known as the plus sign (+) technique, which is currently widely supported by all email providers. It enables you to create a new email address by simply appending the plus symbol (+) to local part of your existing email id. If your email address is name@your_domain.com, for example, you may instantly create a new email address such as name+subscribe@your_domain.com for a newsletter or name+affiliate@email.com for an affiliate program. However, biggest challenge of using email sub addressing or plus sign (+) technique is, you can never reply from the exact same email id. For eg, if you signed up with name+affiliate@email.com, you can only reply with name@email.com which doesn’t give a professional look. Read additional details on https://www.mutantmail.com/.
If I use a GPG/OpenPGP key, that’s at the account level, correct? So every email I receive will be encrypted. Will every email I *send* be encrypted, and is there anything special the recipient needs to do to open them? We allow GPG/PGP at a finer level, and it’s set at the individual recipient email id level. Yes, once you set it from “Recipient Inbox”, emails are encrypted only on forward flow and a client like thunderbird will be needed to handle decryption automatically. Your clients don’t need anything for that, as we don’t encrypt that flow yet.
