Not every message is urgent.
Email used to leave room to think. We wrote, sent, and let the other person reply in their own time. Somewhere along the way, an inbox became a small task that never ends.
We’re building us2us Mail to restore that distance. You decide where email belongs: somewhere you open when you need it, with room for the rest of your day.
No notifications. Deliberately.
We aren’t adding push, sounds, vibration or app badges. This isn’t another setting you need to find and switch off. Opening the app will be your decision to check your email.
The trade-off is clear: the closed app won’t tell you a new message has arrived. We don’t pretend this choice suits everyone. It is for people who want a quieter relationship with email.
Less weight. More space.
We do not download the entire mailbox. Bodies for up to 50 messages on the first page are prepared in bounded session memory and cleared on lock. Attachments load only when selected. Multiple accounts and their IMAP folders will keep their own structure, without downloading every mailbox to your computer.
Privacy needs an explanation.
Encrypting data on a computer, protecting a connection with TLS and end-to-end encryption solve different problems. We must tell you which protections actually work.
E2EE between our own accounts is being prepared. Ordinary external email is not E2EE. Public rollout of internal E2EE and multi-device features is unfinished; these limits remain visible.
Life comes first.
An email app doesn’t need more of your attention. It should help you do what you came for, then let you close it and get on with your life. That’s what we’re trying to make.
