Features

A mailbox that does more for you.

The web app and the iPhone app, with our own mail server behind them. Below is what is in them today, shown on the screens themselves. And at the bottom, just as plainly, what is not.

Get your address Open mail
Folders and labels with their counts in the iPhone app
The inbox in the iPhone app
A conversation in the reader
The reader: the conversation, and the actions in a bar at the bottom
Swiping on to the next unread conversation
Reading

Deal with a mail, then the next one.

Conversations stay together, and the reader is built for getting through them: one swipe to the next unread, one tap to undo.

  • Swipe to the next unread

    Left or right in the reader moves on to the next conversation you have not read, with the count of what is left.

  • Undo

    Archived or deleted by mistake? Undo puts it back where it was.

  • Codes in one tap

    A sign-in code in a mail gets a Copy code button on the iPhone.

  • Conversations

    Replies stay together by their threading headers, and by subject when those are missing.

Also in it

  • The unread count on the icon

    The app icon carries the number of unread mails.

  • Push per label

    Notifications for all mail, or only for the labels and categories you pick.

  • Images off by default

    Show them once, or always for that sender.

  • Light and dark

    Both apps follow your system, or the choice you make.

  • A flat list if you prefer

    Turn conversation view off for loose messages.

  • Keyboard shortcuts

    In the web app: j and k to move, e to archive, r to reply, / to search, ? for the rest.

A reply in the iPhone app, with the original message below it
Writing

Reply with the original right below.

The composer keeps what you are answering in view, saves as you type and sends from the right address.

  • Drafts that travel

    A draft saves itself and is still there on your other device.

  • Attachments

    Up to 25 MB per file and 40 MB for the whole message.

  • Addresses you know

    Everyone you mail with is suggested as you type, the most used first.

  • Your signature

    Under every message, as plain text or with formatting.

Also in it

  • Reply all by default

    If you want it to be, in your settings.

  • The address it came in on

    On your own domain a reply leaves from the address that was written to.

  • Delivered or not

    Sent mail shows whether it was delivered, is being retried or bounced, in the receiving server's words.

A spam message in the iPhone app with the filter's reason and a Not spam button
Real or fake

Real or fake, without guessing.

A lookalike can borrow a name and a subject, not a signature. Logos and brand artwork show only on mail the brand's own domain confirmed, and every message shows what the mail servers found.

  • DKIM, SPF and DMARC per message

    A message's details show what the mail servers found, and for which domain.

  • Spam that explains itself

    The reason and the score are on the message. Not spam teaches the filter, and so does Spam.

  • Logos only when earned

    A brand's logo (BIMI) and its artwork in the list show only on mail that passed DMARC; BIMI also wants a domain that enforces its policy.

  • Links checked first

    Known bad hosts get a warning, unknown domains ask once. Checked on our server.

Also in it

  • No tracking pixels

    Remote images stay off. For senders you trust our server fetched them on arrival, so the sender never sees you open it.

  • Attachments checked

    Only pictures that were checked show inline, and the risks found in a file stand next to it.

  • PDFs in a sandbox

    A PDF opens as pictures of its pages: no scripts, no links.

  • Phishing in a picture

    A sign-in form or bank page inside an image is flagged when the sender is not someone you know.

A bol.com mail with a PostNL card: announced, Sunday between 09:00 and 12:00
Parcels

When it arrives, on top of the mail.

A parcel notice gets a card with the carrier, the tracking code and the delivery window, read from the notice by the mail server.

  • PostNL, DHL, DPD, UPS and more

    The carrier, the tracking code, the day and the window, and the status: announced, on its way, delivered.

  • Change the delivery

    The carrier's own link to move the delivery sits on the card.

  • Told about parcels only

    On the iPhone, notifications can be for the parcel category alone.

Two automations: parcels to the team channel, invoices to the bookkeeper
Automations

When mail arrives, something happens.

A rule matches on the sender, the subject or the text, and runs its actions the moment a mail comes in. Every run is logged.

  • Built from an example

    Pick a mail and click the words that should match.

  • Four kinds of action

    A new email, a reply to the sender, a card in a mssgs channel, or an HTTP request to your own URL.

  • Every run in the log

    What fired, where it went and what the other side answered.

Also in it

  • Try before it fires

    Run a rule's actions with a sample mail and read the answers.

  • Placeholders

    {from}, {subject} and {snippet} are filled in for every action.

  • From the mail itself

    A conversation's menu shows every rule that ran on it.

Your domains: a verified domain with API email, a workspace and alias domains
Your own domain

Your own domain, and every address on it.

Connect a domain, add the DNS records it shows you, and mail arrives on any address you make up. Your mssgsmail.com address stays available.

  • Catch-all

    Every address on the domain is yours. A colour per address shows where mail came in.

  • Answered from the right address

    A reply leaves from the address that was written to.

  • Alias domains

    Extra names for the same domain deliver to the same inbox, the same rules and the same groups.

  • A workspace

    Everyone you invite gets their own mailbox on your domain.

Also in it

  • Checked for you

    We look for your DNS records every fifteen minutes until the domain is verified.

  • Signed mail

    Mail from your domain goes out signed, so it passes DKIM at the other end.

Deliverability: delivered, deferred and bounced, the failures per day and what the receiving servers said
Transactional mail

Mail from your app, in the same place.

Turn on API email for a domain and your software sends with a key. The console, behind the switch next to search, shows what happened to every message.

  • API keys per domain

    Create and revoke keys. Mail goes out signed for your domain.

  • Deliverability

    Delivered, deferred and bounced per day, and the receiving server's own words.

  • Bounces stop themselves

    A hard bounce puts the address on a list. Reactivate it when it works again.

Also in it

  • Outbound log

    Every API message with its status, tag and details.

  • Authentication

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC across what you sent.

  • Webhooks

    Delivered and bounced events, and inbound mail for your domain, posted to your URL.

Account and devices

Safe to sign in, easy to stay in.

Strong sign-in without the hassle, and a clear view of where you are signed in.

  • Passkeys and two steps

    Sign in with a passkey, or turn on an authenticator app. Backup codes for the day you lose your phone.

  • Sign in with your phone

    Scan the code on the computer with the signed-in app and you are in, no password typed.

  • Devices and sessions

    See where you are signed in and sign a session out from anywhere.

  • Proof of a printout

    A printed mail carries a code that anyone can check at mssgsmail.com/proof against the sealed copy.

What is not there yet

Better that you read it here than find out the hard way. These are on the list, but they are not in the product today.

  • IMAP and SMTP

    Connecting another mail program is not possible yet. Until then you use the web app and the iPhone app.

  • Importing mail

    Moving a mailbox over from another provider is not possible yet. Forwarding from your old address works.

  • An Android app

    There is an iPhone app. On Android the web app installs to your home screen.

  • Calendar and contacts

    mssgs mail is mail. There is no calendar in it, and none planned.
