How it works

Your inbox, with a better name.

No migration, no new inbox to learn. Here's exactly what happens when mail comes in — and goes out — explained like you'd tell a friend.

01

Claim your alias

Search your name, pick a domain you love, and grab the handle before someone else does.

02

Connect your inbox

Link Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo in one tap. Your existing inbox stays exactly where it is.

03

You're live

Mail to your alias lands in your normal inbox. Reply, and it goes out as your new self.

Inbound

Mail comes in

Someone emails james@boldmail.cc. We receive it, run it through the spam shield, and relay it straight to your real inbox — usually in under two seconds. You read and search it like any other message.

Outbound

You send a reply

Reply from your normal email app and we send it out as your alias — properly authenticated, with no awkward “on behalf of” note. To everyone else, it just looks like your address. Because it is.

Family domains work exactly the same way — each family member gets their own handle, and each one forwards to a separate inbox of their choice.

Reliability

Built so you forget it's even there.

Dual-region forwarding

Mail is relayed across multiple regions, so a single outage never drops a message.

Encrypted in transit

Every hop is encrypted with TLS. Your mail is never stored longer than it takes to forward.

We don't read your mail

We forward, full stop. No ads, no profiling, and we never store your inbox password.

Common questions

What if a forwarded email goes to spam?

We sign every message with proper email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) so it arrives in your inbox, not your spam folder. If something ever looks off, our support team can help troubleshoot.

Can I switch from Gmail to Outlook later?

Yes — update your destination inbox any time from your dashboard. We'll re-verify the new address and your alias keeps working the whole time.

Do I have to set up sending right away?

No — receiving works immediately. You can set up sending as your alias whenever you're ready, there's no rush.

That's the whole thing. Ready to claim yours?
