Why ViMail

Your address. Your domain. Your inbox.

Everything you’d expect from a modern email provider — without handing your identity over to someone else’s brand.

Your own domain

Use [email protected] instead of an address that belongs to a big provider. Add mailboxes and aliases for yourself, your family or your project — and keep your address for life, wherever you host it.

Modern protocols

JMAP for fast, efficient, battery-friendly sync — plus standard IMAP and SMTP, so Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook and your phone’s mail app all just work.

Secure by default

Encrypted connections, DKIM signing, SPF, DMARC, MTA-STS and DANE support, two-factor sign-in and app passwords — running on a memory-safe, Rust-based mail server.

Webmail that feels fast

Our webmail brings threaded conversations, instant full-text search, keyboard shortcuts, calendar and contacts to a clean interface that works beautifully on desktop and mobile — in light and dark.

Spam and phishing defense

A statistical spam classifier, blocklist checks, greylisting and sender-authentication checks keep junk out — and Sieve filters let you sort the rest your way.

Private, with no lock-in

No ads, no selling your data, no profiling from your messages. Because it all runs on open standards, you can take your mail and your domain elsewhere whenever you like.

How it works

From sign-up to sending in minutes

If you can add a few DNS records, you can run email on your own domain.

Join the beta list

Leave your email below. It takes ten seconds and costs nothing.

Get your invitation

We’re inviting testers in waves. When it’s your turn, you’ll get an email with a sign-up link.

Add your domain

Tell us your domain and we’ll show exactly which DNS records to add at your registrar — and check them for you.

Send and receive

Open the webmail, or connect your favorite mail app. Your new address is ready to use.

Under the hood

Open standards. Serious foundations.

ViMail isn’t a black box. It’s assembled from proven, open-source building blocks and the standards the whole email world agrees on.

A fast, memory-safe mail core

A modern all-in-one mail and collaboration server written in Rust: JMAP, IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV, built-in spam filtering and automatic TLS certificates.

JMAP

The JSON Mail Access Protocol (RFC 8620 / 8621) — the modern successor to IMAP. Fewer round trips, instant updates and far better behavior on mobile networks.

A modern JMAP webmail

An open-source JMAP webmail with mail, calendar and contacts, themes, two-factor sign-in and an installable app experience.

Standards we speak

JMAP IMAP SMTP CalDAV CardDAV Sieve TLS & STARTTLS DKIM SPF DMARC ARC MTA-STS DANE TLS-RPT ACME 2FA & app passwords

Because everything is standards-based, your mail is never trapped in a proprietary format. Use any compatible client, and move on whenever you want.

  • Tell us about bugs and rough edges
  • Share honest feedback, good or bad
  • Keep a backup of anything important — it’s a beta, after all
After the beta

Simple plans. Free to start.

The beta is free. Here’s what we’re planning for launch, so you know what to expect.

Free

Everything you need to get started.

Verified recipients don’t count toward your sending limit

On every plan, you can authorize the addresses you write to often. Add an address in your dashboard, we send its owner a one-time code, you enter the code — and messages to that address are no longer counted in your daily limit.

Every plan includes JMAP, IMAP and SMTP access, webmail, spam and phishing protection and two-factor sign-in. Plans and prices shown here are indicative, in US dollars, and may change before launch. Beta testers will be told in advance.

FAQ

Questions, answered

The beta is free. After the beta there will be a free plan (1 GB of storage, up to 3 domains, unlimited incoming mail and 15 outgoing emails a day) and paid yearly plans starting at $5 for more space, domains and sending. The plans above are indicative and may change, and beta testers will get plenty of notice before anything does.

A domain name you own — from any registrar — and the ability to edit its DNS records. We’ll tell you exactly which records to add (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and a few more) and verify them for you. Subdomains work too.

No. Use the built-in webmail in your browser, or connect any app that speaks IMAP and SMTP — Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, and the mail apps on iOS and Android. JMAP-native clients work too.

We don’t scan your messages for ads, build profiles from them or sell your data. Like any hosted email service that isn’t end-to-end encrypted, our servers can technically access stored mail, so we keep that access tightly limited: only when needed to run the service, to help with a problem you ask us to look into, or where the law requires. Details are in our Privacy Policy.

Yes. The domain is yours, and your mail is stored in standard formats you can pull out with any IMAP or JMAP tool. Point your MX records somewhere else and you’re done.

It’s a beta: expect rough edges, and keep copies of anything critical until we say otherwise. A great way to start is with a secondary domain, or to forward a few addresses first and move over gradually.

ViMail is built for personal and business correspondence, not mass mailing. Sending limits and anti-abuse rules protect every customer’s domain reputation — see the Terms of Service.

Incoming mail is never limited. Outgoing mail has a daily cap because it protects your domain’s reputation and keeps the service free of spam. If you regularly write to the same people, you can verify their addresses in your dashboard with a one-time code; messages to verified recipients aren’t counted toward the cap.

We invite people in waves and aim for a healthy mix: personal domains, families, small projects and developers. Joining the list doesn’t guarantee an invitation, but it’s the only way to be considered. We only use your email to contact you about the beta.
