100% Swiss

Servers, data and backups hosted in Switzerland.

JMAP protocol

The open successor to IMAP, designed for mobile.

No advertising

Your email is never scanned or monetised.

Every device

Webmail, Android and iOS apps, and the software you already use.

JMAP: what makes the alternative credible

Replacing Exchange used to mean accepting a trade-off. JMAP, the open standard that succeeds IMAP, removes it. Here is what that changes in practice.

Instant

New messages arrive in real time, with no need for the app to poll the server over and over. No more waiting when you wake your phone.

Light on battery and data

One request does the work of dozens under IMAP. Your phone uses less power and less data, even on a slow connection or while roaming.

Open, no lock-in

JMAP is a public IETF standard. Your email, calendars and contacts stay exportable and your mailbox stays interoperable.

IMAP, POP and SMTP remain supported: no existing software is left behind.

A webmail you will actually want to use

Fast, clear, and built for everyday work.

Three-pane layout

Folders, list and message side by side. Adjustable density, from extra compact to comfortable.

Light and dark themes

The webmail follows your system preference, or stays on the theme you pick.

Powerful search

Combinable filters and search across all your folders, not just the one you have open.

Conversations

Exchanges are grouped into threads, with messages expanding inline as you read.

Colour labels

Organise messages with colour-coded labels, with counters right there in the sidebar.

Made for the keyboard

Keyboard shortcuts, drag and drop, multi-select and undo for your actions.

Working together, properly

A business mailbox is not just somewhere mail lands.

Shared mailboxes

An info@ or accounts@ mailbox open to the whole team, with rights set person by person. Everyone keeps their own account, the mailbox stays shared.

Shared calendars

Share a calendar and choose what each colleague can do: see your free/busy only, read, reply to invitations, edit, or administer. Five distinct levels.

Shared address books

A company address book open to the team, readable, writable or deletable depending on the person, and re-shareable by those allowed to.

Directory and availability

Colleagues are suggested from the company directory. Check their availability before booking a meeting, without ever seeing what is in their calendar.

Invitations and replies

Invite participants, track their replies, receive meeting requests right inside the message with a reply button. Drag and drop to reschedule.

Identities and aliases

Several sending identities, each with its own signature. Aliases and sub-addressing (you+client@yourdomain.ch) to sort mail at the source.

Encryption and security, without the hassle

The features a business mailbox is expected to have, built in and explained.

Setting up your S/MIME certificate, in three steps

  1. Import your certificate and its private key from the webmail settings.

  2. The private key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using your passphrase: it never leaves your browser in the clear.

  3. Your messages go out signed. As soon as a correspondent writes to you signed, their certificate is remembered and you can reply encrypted.

Verified chain of trust

Every signature is validated up to the root authority, with CRL and OCSP revocation checks. A revoked certificate is flagged, not silently ignored.

PGP on mobile

The iOS and Android app encrypts and decrypts with end-to-end PGP, with its own key management screen.

Two-factor and SSO

TOTP for individual accounts, OAuth2/OIDC with PKCE to plug in your company directory, Keycloak and Authentik included.

Authenticity of incoming mail

SPF, DKIM and DMARC indicators explained in plain language, external content blocked by default, HTML sanitised before display.
