Every domain deserves a hello@

imado gives a domain you already own a working email address. Create hello@example.com, then send and receive from a web inbox. You add a few DNS records we give you; there is no mail server to run and no Google Workspace subscription for every side project.

From domain to delivered, in three steps.

  1. Bring a domain

    Type in a domain you already own. We give you three DNS records and tick each one off as soon as it shows up.

  2. Pick an address

    hello@, support@, your own name. Make as many as you like: addresses are free, on every domain.

  3. Write back

    Read and reply from a web inbox. Your answer leaves from your domain and lands in the same thread on their side.

Steps with your DNS host's own screens:

Or ask your AI assistant to set it up.

Add imado to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini as a connector. You sign in to imado and tick what it may do: set up your domain, read the mailboxes you choose, or write drafts for you to send. There is no key to paste, it can't send mail, and it costs nothing.

Connector URL

Most assistants that support MCP take this address.

Claude

Opens Claude's connectors with imado already filled in. Press Add, then sign in to imado.

Add to Claude

ChatGPT

Choose +, then Add custom MCP server, name it imado and paste the connector URL.

Open ChatGPT

Gemini

Under Custom apps, choose Add a custom app and paste the connector URL. For personal Google Accounts in the US.

Open Gemini

Then ask it

Once it's connected, paste this:

Set up email for my domain on imado. Tell me the DNS records to add where I manage its DNS, check them once I have, and create hello@ on it.

What your assistant can and can't do

One calm inbox for all of them.

Mail to every address you create arrives in one web inbox that works in any browser, on a laptop or a phone.

The inbox, up close
  • Every mailbox, one switch away, key M
  • Inbox, Sent, Done, and Spam out of sight, key E
  • Search everything you have received, key /
  • Reply without leaving the keys, key R
  • Every key, one press away, key ?

Everything a mailbox needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Live as soon as DNS is

Paste three records at your DNS host and watch them turn to Added. Most hosts publish them within minutes.

Keyboard first

Reply, move, search and switch mailboxes without the mouse.

Search that keeps up

Results as you type, then everything you have received.

Read it together

Invite people to the mailboxes you choose. No charge per person.

Shared mailboxes for a team

Four folders, no clutter

Inbox, Sent, Done and Spam. Move a thread to Done when it's handled.

Or let your assistant do it

Connect Claude or ChatGPT and tick what it may do. It adds the domain, checks the records and creates the address. It can't send mail.

Sealed, never read

Kept exactly as it arrived and encrypted where it is stored. Scripts are removed before you read. Nobody here can sign in as you.

How we keep it that way

What happens to your mail.

imado stores other people's mail, so here is what runs today, each with the page that says it in full.

  • Saved before we touch it

    Every message is stored exactly as it arrived before anything reads it.

    How imado receives your email

  • Encrypted on the way and at rest

    Every connection uses TLS, and stored mail is encrypted by the providers that hold it.

    Security

  • Nobody here can sign in as you

    There is no support screen that opens a mailbox. Our own tools show counts and domain names, never a message.

    Who can read your mail

  • Opening a message runs nothing

    Scripts and forms are removed and the message is shown in a sandboxed frame. Attachments download exactly as they arrived.

    What happens before you see it

  • Your assistant sees what you tick

    An assistant reads only the mailboxes you choose, can't send, and is disconnected when you reset your password.

    Your assistant

  • Limits that protect delivery

    Every account has sending limits, so nobody can send in bulk and hurt delivery for everyone else.

    Fair use

Free for your first 3 domains.

Every account

$0 with no time limit

  • 3 domains you already own
  • 1 GB of stored mail, shared by all of them
  • Addresses, inboxes and people to share them with, at no charge each
  • Folders, search and sharing, in a web inbox

Add when you need more

  • +5 domains Domain pack, $10 a year
  • +5 GB of stored mail Storage pack, $10 a year

Buy as many of either as you need, whenever you need them. Any pack also raises your account's limits. All packs renew together, on one date.

No charge per address or per person, and nothing can be charged until you enter a payment method. See pricing.

For mail between people.

imado is for the mail you write and the mail people send you. Sending in bulk needs a service built for it, and keeping it off imado is how every imado address stays in good standing with Gmail and Outlook.

Receiving is never limited by who sent it: newsletters, receipts and alerts sent to you are fine.

Fair use

Good for

  • hello@ on a landing page
  • support@ for a product you run
  • you@example.com
  • A contact address for a client's project

Not for sending

  • Newsletters and campaigns
  • Cold outreach to lists
  • Password resets or receipts sent by an app you run

Questions people ask first.

More answers in the docs
Do I need to buy a domain from you?
No. Use a domain you already own, from any registrar. imado does not sell domains.
Can I keep my registrar and DNS host?
Yes. You add a few records where you manage the domain's DNS, which is usually your registrar. Nothing else changes, and any DNS host that lets you add TXT, CNAME and MX records works.
What happens to mail my domain already receives somewhere else?
Mail for a domain is delivered to one provider at a time. Once you add the receiving record, new mail arrives at imado instead of the old place; messages already in the old inbox stay there. To switch back, change that one record back.
Will my mail land in spam?
The records you add prove to Gmail, Outlook and the rest that mail from your domain really came from your domain; the check is called DKIM. Every account also has sending limits, for example 25 messages a day from one address on Free, so nobody on imado can send in bulk and hurt delivery for everyone else. The full list is on the fair use page.
Can I read it in Gmail or Apple Mail?
Not yet. Today you read and reply in the browser, on a laptop or a phone. Connecting a mail app, which needs IMAP, is on the roadmap without a date.
Can someone else read a mailbox with me?
Yes. Invite them and they see only what you share, nothing else on your account. There is no charge per person.
