Service overview


E-mail messages which you receive everyday can be divided into two main groups:

  • Conversations with real people - here you use e-mail to be in touch with your friends, colleagues, clients and business partners
  • Conversations with "robots" - here we mean that you get a lot of messages from various web-services: your social network, your favorite news site, a forum you participate in, etc.

Unlike other e-mail services, UMail.NET allows you to separate these two groups of conversations and take control of your correspondence quickly and easily.

So how does it work?

After registration you get the usual (basic) e-mail address which looks like: username@umail.net.
This address you can give to anyone you want. Umail.NET protects it using the "whitelist" method: When somebody writes you a message to your basic address for the first time, the message goes to your SPAM folder and he/she will get a reply with a request to identify him/her as a human. After completion of that simple operation the initial message goes to the Inbox and all future messages from this person will not require any additional tricks - they will go to the Inbox immediately.

Now let's suppose you are going to register on some web-service: forum, newsletter, social network site, etc.
In this case you should NOT use your basic UMail.NET address (username@umail.net). For each such registration you can create special disposable e-mail addresses (or "aliases") which will look like this: somealias@username.umail.net.
All messages sent to disposable addresses will go directly to your Inbox (or to the folder you assigned to this address when you created it) so "whitelist" protection does not work for aliases. Instead of that, you can easily disable or remove (dispose of) such addresses at any time without any harm to your main address (username@umail.net).

Besides the ability to create disposable addresses, UMail.NET can be just like any other e-mail service. Actually not "any other" but even better then others since with UMail.NET you get a very simple and friendly desktop-like user interface, an address book to store your contacts, folders and tags for better organization and many other amenities.
