My current solution is a private ChatGPT-like interface using OpenRouter’s API with Zero Data Retention enabled. Not perfect or verifiable but I think it’s acceptable for now.
Functions exactly like tinyurl, generally used by public officers for the various programmes/initiatives from the ministries and agencies.
How does this work?
SMTP/IMAP/POP3, webmail (Roundcube), CalDAV/CardDAV, unlimited mailboxes, catch-all. Starting at $5/year for 2GB.
No marketing spend, and I terminate spammers immediately. If you run a legitimate domain, you subsidize yourself.
This isn’t for bulk senders or SLAs. It’s for developers and side-project founders who can configure their own clients and don’t want to pay $60-120/year.
We're deliberately keeping things simple. No AI, no scanning your emails for other purposes, and no selling your data. That's not something we're planning to change.
The focus is on doing email well: deliverability, reliability, and keeping our outbound reputation clean through strict anti-spam policies.
We support SMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and custom domains. It's fairly bare-bones, and we expect customers to know their way around email config.
It's also just $5/year.
