About Purelymail
Simple email service for custom domains and multiple users. Route incoming mail and send outgoing messages without technical complexity.
Questions
- Is Purelymail cheaper than other email providers?
- Yes. For a typical use case of one email address with 3 GB of storage for one year, Purelymail costs $10, compared to ProtonMail at $48, Fastmail at $60, Google Workspace at $72, Zoho at $12, and Hushmail at $49.98. Purelymail is especially cost-effective if you need more than one user, since all competing services charge per user while Purelymail charges a flat rate.
- What are the limits on users, domains, and storage?
- There are no hard limits on users, custom domains, or storage. Most users will not run into soft limits with the $10 per year plan. If usage significantly exceeds $10 in infrastructure costs, you may need to switch to advanced pay-per-resource pricing.
- Do you sell user data or serve ads?
- Absolutely not. Purelymail does not sell user data or ads. Users are encouraged to check the Privacy Policy for details.
- What should I know about security?
- Purelymail takes security seriously with at-rest encryption for all mail using XSalsa20-Poly1305 and 128-bit AES-GCM encryption. You can configure your account so that even Purelymail cannot access your mail without your password. SSL is used in IMAP, POP3, webmail, and SMTP. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are supported to ensure maximum deliverability.
- What are the main drawbacks of Purelymail?
- The main drawbacks are: occasionally obscure email servers block emails sent through Purelymail (usually resolvable within a day or two), there is no 24/7 support staff, you cannot send unsolicited or marketing emails, and the UI is not always intuitive for new users.
