The Free plan remains available without a subscription. MANAGED DELIVERY, ENCRYPTED STORAGE โ€ข Thelemail runs receiving, queues, sending infrastructure, reputation controls, DNS checks, and spam classification. โ€ข Stored mailbox content remains encrypted as ciphertext. Readable private-key material stays on your device. โ€ข Mail between Thelemail accounts is encrypted end to end. โ€ข For outside mail, the app uses OpenPGP when a compatible key is available; otherwise, mail uses standard SMTP with TLS where supported. โ€ข Paid plans include unlimited aliases, subject to an anti-abuse guardrail. โ€ข Family plans support shared addresses without shared passwords. โ€ข Custom-domain setup verifies ownership and prepares DKIM, SPF, and DMARC before you change MX. โ€ข Mail is stored and processed in the EU. โ€ข Stored mail is never used for advertising or AI training. โ€ข Export your mailbox in standard formats using the open-source local export tool on a computer. โ€ข Use Face ID to unlock saved mail on supported devices. CLEAR SECURITY BOUNDARIES Email routing still exposes envelope metadata such as sender, recipient, and timing. The security model and its limits are documented at https://thelemail.com/security. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when purchase is confirmed. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
