DeoMail seems like Proton + Zapier + domain email combined
I was actually just trying to find a cheaper custom domain email setup for a side project because paying for Google Workspace on every small project starts getting annoying after a while. I looked at the usual stuff like Zoho, Proton, Fastmail etc and then randomly came across this thing called DeoMail.
At first I thought it was just another “privacy focused inbox” startup because every email company says the same things now. Better privacy, cleaner UI, encrypted storage, blah blah. But after spending like 20 minutes on the site I realized they’re trying to do something kinda different with email itself.
The weirdest feature was something they call “Fade”. From what I understood, instead of sending a completely permanent email, you can basically control access to it after it’s been sent. So you can expire it after a few hours or revoke it entirely. I honestly didnt even know that was possible with email outside of those fake “undo send” buttons Gmail has for like 5 seconds.
Then there was another thing called Fingerprint which basically adds verification to emails so people can prove the content wasnt modified. Looked aimed more at contracts, invoices, legal stuff etc. Not something I personally need everyday but I can definitely imagine situations where it would save somebody from a massive headache 😂
The thing that made it stand out though was how much automation/dev stuff they packed into it. There’s webhook triggers, API access, Slack integrations and some other workflow stuff. It almost feels less like “email hosting” "and more like some weird programmable communication platform lol.
I also noticed they let you share email conversations using links instead of forwarding giant messy threads back and forth which honestly should have existed years ago. Forwarding long email chains is one of the most annoying things in office work.
Still, I’m kinda skeptical because email is one of those things where reliability matters more than fancy features. Like if my notes app dies, whatever. If my email provider has issues, thats a completely different level of pain. So I dont know if I’d trust a newer company with important business communication immediately.
But I will say this most email platforms feel like they havent changed since 2012 and this is one of the first ones I’ve seen in a while that atleast tries to rethink how email works instead of just copying Gmail again.
Curious if anyone here has actually used it properly yet or tested deliverability/support/reliability over time because the concept is honestly pretty interesting.
