The OnMail app is the most popular of this new wave of inbox wrappers. Its biggest feature, however, is one you won’t really see. Import all your existing email accounts and put them in one place. “We believe privacy is still a big concern when using email today,” Miranda Yan, co-founder of vehicle tracking service VinPit, told Lifewire via email. “Email is a prime target for hackers and with the rise of cybercrime like phishing, it needs better protection.

Edison has launched OnMail, a new email service (the company behind Edison Mail, one of the better email apps around). It’s describe as the “first permission-based email service,” and it’s Edison’s most ambitious attempt at fixing email yet. It’s designed to solve modern email problems like endless spam and annoying emails from brands.

Unlike Hey, which requires you to create a new email account, OnMail works with your existing accounts and email providers. It’s more like an email software in this regard, in that it simply retrieves your Exchange, Gmail, iCloud, and other email accounts and displays them to you. OnMail, on the other hand, indexes all of that email in order to use its intelligent artificial intelligence (AI) features.

OnMail, like Hey, begins by vetting senders. Instead of allowing anyone with your email address to spam your inbox, you must first accept their emails by clicking Accept Sender.

How do I create a short email address in OnMail?

If you prefer a short email address under 5 characters, we strongly recommend purchasing our paid OnMail plan for business use instead of trying our free plan first. If you try the free version first, after creating the required longer email address name (more than 8 characters), you will not be able to update or change your email address to a shorter one, even when you later switch to a paid plan.
