Airmail Is Not an Email Provider — You Need an Existing Email Account

Problem

You want to create a new email address using Airmail, or you're confused about what Airmail does.

Solution

Airmail is an email client, not an email provider. This means:

  • Airmail cannot create new email addresses
  • You need an existing email account (Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, etc.) to use Airmail
  • Airmail connects to your existing email accounts and provides a better interface to manage them

How to Get an Email Account

If you don't have an email account yet, you can create one for free:

  • Gmail: Go to accounts.google.com and create a Google account
  • Outlook: Go to outlook.com and sign up
  • iCloud Mail: Create an Apple ID at appleid.apple.com
  • Yahoo Mail: Go to mail.yahoo.com and sign up

Adding Your Account to Airmail

  1. Open Airmail
  2. Go to Settings → Accounts
  3. Click "Add Account"
  4. Select your email provider and sign in with your existing credentials
