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
- Open Airmail
- Go to Settings → Accounts
- Click "Add Account"
- Select your email provider and sign in with your existing credentials
