Freehold Mail

Email that
stays yours.

An address for life on freeholdmail.com or your own domain, as many extra addresses as you need, and your say over where each one's mail goes. When you want to leave, you take everything with you.

What you get

Put together from real screens (the inbox, an address's settings, and Export & leave), with made-up example mail.

  1. Every address has its own colour

    One inbox for all of them, and you see at a glance which address each message came to.

  2. You decide where mail goes

    In each address's settings: deliver it to your mailbox, forward it to another address, or relay it to a server you run.

  3. Switch addresses off

    Make a throwaway address for every sign-up, and switch it off with one click when the spam starts.

  4. Take everything, any time

    One button, any day: a copy of every message, contact and filter. How leaving works is just below.

Leaving is a feature.

When you want to go, we help you leave. Nothing is deleted until you confirm.

  1. 1

    Take everything

    Your mail, contacts and filters, in standard formats any provider can read. Whenever you like, not only when you leave.

  2. 2

    Point it elsewhere

    Your own domain moves with a DNS change. An address on freeholdmail.com can keep forwarding to your new one.
