TechMailEmail You Actually Own, End to End
TechMail is a self-hosted webmail platform. You own the server, the data, and the mail flow - from the moment a domain is added to the moment a message is delivered.
Bringing Email Back Under Your Roof
For most people, “email” now means handing your most personal archive to a handful of giant providers. It works - until the terms change, the price climbs, or an account is locked with no recourse.
TechMail takes a different path. It packages the hard parts of running real email - DNS, DKIM signing, authentication, IMAP and POP3 - into software you host yourself, wrapped in a webmail UI clean enough for everyday use. No SaaS provider sits between you and your inbox.
Four Steps From Domain to Inbox
TechMail guides you through each step and verifies your setup before a single message goes out.
Add a domain
Add a domain you control, e.g. owndomain.com. TechMail generates an RSA-2048 DKIM keypair and a set of DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to publish at your DNS provider.
Verify DNS
Click verify and TechMail checks your live DNS over public resolvers. Once the records match, your domain flips to Verified and is ready for mail.
Create mailboxes
Spin up addresses like hello@owndomain.com. Each mailbox gets standard folders (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash, Archive, Spam, Starred) and its own IMAP/POP3 credentials.
Send & receive
Use the built-in webmail, or connect Thunderbird / Apple Mail over IMAP (143) or POP3 (110). Outbound mail is DKIM-signed; inbound is checked for SPF and DKIM.
The Case for Owning Your Mail
Self-hosting isn't for everyone - but when control, privacy and cost matter, it's hard to beat.
Privacy & ownership
Your mail never routes through a third-party SaaS for core flow. Messages, credentials and keys live on infrastructure you operate - with no analytics or trackers by default.
Control & trust
Run as many addresses on your own domain as you like, set your own policies, and present a branded identity that builds far more trust than a generic free-mail address.
Cost at scale
Per-seat SaaS pricing adds up fast. Self-hosting on a single server can serve a whole team for a flat cost - you pay for the box, not for every mailbox.
A Real Mail Stack, Not a Wrapper
TechMail runs its own protocol servers - no reselling someone else's API.
