Accessing the service

CamoMail provides email with IMAP and SMTP access. A webmail interface powered by Roundcube is also available. Below are the information for IMAP and SMTP, even though most email clients are capable of autodetecting it.

The webmail can be accessed at: https://mail.camomail.org/.

Mailbox capacity

By default, the mailbox capacity is limited to 5GB per user. If you need more space, do not hesitate to reach out to the support team.

Aliases and redirection

Aliases are secondary email address, that you can use to send and receive messages in the same inbox as your primary email address. You can register as many aliases as you want through the CamoMail user portal. That said, please be reasonable, since each alias makes one unassigned username unavailable. Aliases are only valid for email, and only your primary address (typically your CamoMail username) is available for login.

You can also choose to redirect incoming email to an external address, using the CamoMail user portal as well.

End-to-end encryption

By default, messages are not end-to-end encrypted and are stored in plain text on our servers. You can generate a keypair directly from the webmail interface, by going to the settings, under PGP Keys. If you choose to generate your keys that way, it is recommended that you use the Elliptic Curve key type, with a strong password (that will be used to store your private key encrypted on our servers).

You can also use the Mailvelope browser extension to generate and store your keys. You can turn on Mailvelope integration in the webmail settings, under Preferences > Encryption. Many external email clients, such as Thunderbird or K-9 Mail support encryption as well. We recommend that you keep your private key locally (by using Mailvelope or your email client, rather than the webmail interface), since keeping the keys on our servers makes it easier for them to be compromised if an attacker gains access to our servers.
