All your email in one cheeky inbox. Private IMAP mail app, fast and offline.
Read full description
All your email. One cheeky inbox, demon on guard.
MailDemon is a private email client for your IMAP email accounts that talks to your own mail host, directly. IMAP and SMTP, phone to server, with no Perlicom service in the path and no third party holding a copy of your mail.
ADDING A MAILBOX
• Type your address and password, and MailDemon works out the servers for you — the Thunderbird autoconfig database, the provider's own autoconfig, and DNS lookups
• It shows what it found in plain language, ranked, and tests the connection before it saves anything
• Or fill in IMAP and SMTP by hand, with full control of host, port and encryption
• Works with any provider that offers IMAP with a password or an app password — your own domain, work mail, iCloud, Yahoo, GMX, Fastmail and many more. For Gmail, turn on 2-Step Verification and create an app password.
• Accounts that only allow Microsoft's own sign-in (most Outlook.com and Hotmail mailboxes) cannot be added in this version
• Add as many mailboxes as you like: multiple email accounts in one email app
READING AND WRITING
• The on-device copy draws instantly and the network catches up behind it — no spinner-first screens
• Full-text search across the mail mirrored on the device, with no signal needed
• Compose, reply, forward, attachments, drafts, and a signature per mailbox
• An outbox, so a message written with no signal goes out when there is one
• Schedule a message for later, and snooze one out of the way until you want it back
• Remote images are held back until you ask for them, because loading one tells the sender you opened the message
• Sign-in codes in new mail can pop up on a small card with a copy button
KEEPING THE MAILBOX CLEAN
• Rules that file, flag or forward mail as it arrives
• Blocked senders, trusted senders and VIPs
• A junk filter with sender, domain and phrase rules, plus shape heuristics that catch campaigns no block list keeps up with
• Tags, an address book built from your own mail, and one screen for every attachment you have saved
NEW MAIL
• A background check with a notification per mailbox
• Android asks you to allow notifications. Refusing does not break anything — mail simply arrives quietly.
WHERE YOUR MAIL IS KEPT
Your mailbox is mirrored into a database on the device, which is what makes it fast and usable offline. Passwords go into the Android Keystore — never into that database and never into ordinary app settings. None of your mail is sent to Perlicom.
YOUR PERLI ACCOUNT, AND OPTIONAL SYNC
You sign in to MailDemon with your Google account to start. This sign-in does not connect a Gmail mailbox. Sync between your devices is a separate choice. It syncs mailbox settings, rules, signatures, blocked and trusted senders, VIPs, tags, contacts and snoozes, and your mailbox passwords unless you switch that off. Message bodies and subjects are never synced. Everything is end-to-end encrypted with a master password that never leaves the device, so nobody at Perlicom can read any of it, and nobody at Perlicom can recover it for you either. It is off until you ask for it, and everything above works without it.
FREE AND PRO
MailDemon is a free email client, with every mail feature included. The free version shows a small banner at the bottom of the main screens and in Mail settings and, now and then, a full-screen ad after you send a message. The banner sits in its own row below your mail, never over it, and no ad is ever shown while you are writing. In the EU, EEA and UK you choose between accepting Google's ad consent message or going Pro.
MailDemon Pro is a one-time purchase that removes all ads. Nothing to renew.
PRIVACY
Your mail, contacts and passwords are never shared with advertisers. Feature-usage counting is opt-in, off by default and stays on your device. Privacy policy: https://perlicom.com/perlimail/privacy
MailDemon, the private email client, is made in Ireland by Perlicom Systems Limited.
