What Free Mail is
Free Mail is Free’s email service for Freebox subscribers. Eligible subscribers can create several free addresses ending in @free.fr and use them on the web, Android, and iOS. Free’s webmail, based on Roundcube, supports customization, mobile layouts, and dark mode. It includes an agenda plus tools for archiving, sorting, and cleaning messages. Free describes mailbox capacity as 1 GB and allows a request for an increase up to 10 GB; a full mailbox may stop accepting new messages. Mail can also be handled through Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird, or another compatible client using IMAP, POP, and SMTP. Listed servers include imap.free.fr, pop.free.fr, and smtp.free.fr, with secure connection settings and SMTP authentication. Canceling a Freebox subscription does not itself delete associated addresses, although prolonged inactivity may suspend an account. Free also provides recovery guidance for blocked accounts.
