Relay Mail formerly Inboxme

Inboxme is now Relay Mail. Existing addresses keep working.

Keep your real email address private, for good.

Relay Mail gives every company you deal with its own permanent address that forwards to your inbox. If one of them is hacked or sells your details, your real address stays secret, and you know exactly where the leak came from.

  1. A shop emails cornershop@alias.example The address only they know
  2. Relay Mail Checks, then forwards Spam filtered, nothing kept in a mailbox
  3. It arrives in your real inbox Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, anywhere

Why it matters

Data breaches happen to well-run companies too. Relay Mail makes sure one breach can't put the rest of your life at risk.

Limits the damage from data breaches
If a service you use is hacked, attackers only get an address that works for that one service. Your main email, the one tied to your bank and other important accounts, stays secret, so leaked passwords can't easily be tried against it.
Shows you who leaked your details
Every company gets its own address, so the moment spam arrives you know exactly which one sold or leaked your data, and you can stop it there.
Keeps your accounts separate
Companies can't match you up across services using your email address, which makes you much harder to profile and target.
Puts you in control
You decide who can reach you. Block a sender, or retire one address, without changing anything anywhere else.

How it works

There's no new inbox to check and nothing to install. Relay Mail sits between the world and the inbox you already use.

  1. Give each company its own address

    When you sign up somewhere, give it its own address, such as bookshop@alias.example. It's yours to keep for as long as you use that service. Addresses on your own domain are created the first time mail arrives.

  2. Mail to the alias is checked and forwarded

    Each message is spam-checked and passed straight on to your real address. A short note shows which alias it was sent to.

  3. Reply without giving yourself away

    Replies go back out from the alias, so the person you're writing to never sees your real address.

  4. Stay in control if something goes wrong

    If an address is ever leaked or sold, block the sender or retire that one address. Your other accounts, and your real email, aren't affected.

Built for everyday use

Permanent addresses
Your addresses keep working for as long as you want them, so they're safe to use for banking, shopping and anything long-term.
Reply and send as an alias
Conversations stay on the alias from start to finish.
As many addresses as you need
One for every company and service you use, all arriving in the same inbox.
Block senders and domains
Stop one sender or a whole company without losing the alias.
Your own domain
Bring a domain you own and every address on it becomes an alias automatically.
Encrypt what's forwarded
Add your own PGP key and forwarded mail is encrypted before it leaves us.

Got an email from one of our addresses?

Relay Mail addresses belong to Relay Mail users. Each one is an alias that a real person created to keep their own address private. Relay Mail passes the message on; the person who wrote it is responsible for what it says.

If a message from one of our addresses is spam, a scam, harassment or anything else that breaks our rules, please tell us. We look at every report and can switch off an alias or close an account.

What we don't do

Privacy is the whole point of an alias, so the service is run to match.

No ads, no selling dataWe don't show adverts, and we don't sell or share your details with anyone.

No mailbox of your emailMessages are forwarded, not kept in an inbox on our servers.

No open sign-upsAccounts are by invitation, which keeps spammers off the service in the first place.
