Why Polpo Mail exists
Every company deserves email on its own name. It shouldn't cost a monthly fee per person, come with ads, or lock you in. Polpo Mail is our attempt to make that the default.
The initiative
Polpo Mail is part of Polpo 8, an initiative of RZZ Consulting S.L.U., based in Carrer de Galileu, 142, Sants-Montjuïc, 08028 Barcelona, Spain. Polpo 8 builds everyday business software (e-signatures, a CRM, document search, uptime monitoring, log management, analytics and now email) and gives it away free, without watermarks and without ads, keeping it updated over time.
Most of these categories are crowded with products charging €20–€100 per person every month for software that costs very little to run once it is built. We think small companies, freelancers, associations and start-ups shouldn't have to pay that just to have [email protected].
We charge only when an organisation wants something we can't give everyone for free: a dedicated build, more capacity than the free plan, or an installation on its own infrastructure. That is how the free service is sustained. Talk to us if that's you.
What we believe
- Your mail is yours. We don't read it for advertising, we don't sell it, and we don't build profiles from it.
- No lock-in. Polpo Mail uses the open standards every mail app understands: IMAP, SMTP, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, MTA-STS. You can take all your mail with you at any time, and moving away means changing one DNS record.
- Security by default. Signing, encryption in transit and authentication checks are set up for you, not left as homework. See our Security page.
- Plain and honest. Clear limits, clear terms, and an honest statement of what isn't finished yet.
- Small and fast. A focused product that does email well, instead of a suite that does everything slowly.
Where we are today: public beta
Polpo Mail is in public beta. The core works and is used every day, but the service is new, still changing, and can have interruptions, bugs and other problems while we improve it. Using it during the beta means accepting those risks and taking responsibility for your own use. Please read the beta notice before you rely on it, and keep your own copies of anything important.
What's included
- Up to 10 mailboxes and 5 aliases per domain, free, with 1 GB per mailbox.
- Webmail with conversations, rich-text compose, search, rules, scheduled sending and an out-of-office reply.
- Every mail app through IMAP and SMTP, plus a REST API for developers.
- An admin console for users, aliases, a catch-all, a company footer, branding and DNS checks.
