Congrats on doing your part. We need more privacy focus emails
Competition and alternatives are great, I wish you success!

Are you able to guarantee that your email service will still be around a year from now? Or five years from now? Or twenty?

Not trying to hate, just want to make sure before I create an account and start using your service for literally everything. If you one day decide to shut down and I lose access to my primary email address, I'm screwed.

what is the business model for this service?

i couldnt find a privacy policy.

Sorting emails like this is really useful.

hperrin OP ,

Here’s the privacy policy:

https://port87.com/privacy-policy

You get 500MB free storage, and you can receive unlimited email. Here’s the breakdown of subscriptions:

  • $0.99/month to send unlimited messages.
  • $1.99/month for 2GB
  • $5.99/month for 10GB
  • $9.99/month for 20GB
  • $19.99/month for 100GB
  • $39.99/month for 1TB

I’m working on a mobile app that will be free. For now, the web app is a progressive web app, so you can install that to your home screen and it works like a mobile app.

I’m also working on other features that aren’t ready yet, but they’ll be premium features:

  • IMAP, SMTP, and CardDAV support.
  • Custom domain support.
  • Additional users for your custom domain.

So basically the business model is pretty similar to other email services. One difference is that I charge for sending mail, and basically that’s to prevent spam. Spammers are unlikely to use a real payment account, because it will get shut down when they’re caught spamming.

This is awesome! The way this works is what I've been doing for years by manually creating different emails. Mymail.streaming@gmail, myemail.work@gmail, myemail.medical@gmail et cetera .I have literally dozens of Gmail accounts to keep things organized. The idea of people able to transition that to a single address sounds amazing. Can't wait to get approved.
