What Purelymail is
Purelymail is a paid email service for people using webmail or third-party mail applications. It supports IMAP and POP3 access with SMTP sending, and its Roundcube webmail includes contact import and export. Filters can manage, redirect, or reply to messages through webmail or Sieve, while SpamAssassin provides spam filtering with automatic learning. Custom domains have no additional charge, unlimited users can share those domains, and catchall routing is supported. WebDAV, CardDAV, and CalDAV provide basic file storage, contact synchronization, and calendar synchronization. Data is encrypted at rest, and email content can use password encryption when password reset is disabled. SSL protects mail access, administration, and delivery where possible. Two-factor authentication supports time-based codes and security keys. Simple Pricing costs $10 a year; Advanced Pricing is usage based. A trial includes full features but limits external sending.
