1Byte Systems

All your accounts

Every account in one calm inbox

Work, personal and that old address you still check: 1B Mail brings them together in one unified inbox, each account in its own colour, with your replies gathered into real conversations.

What it is

1B Mail connects directly to each provider's mail servers over IMAP and SMTP — the same standards Thunderbird and Outlook use. You add as many accounts as you like and see them together in All accounts, or one by one in the sidebar.

Conversations are built across folders: when you reply, your answer from Sent appears in the conversation in the order things happened. Undo works for sending, deleting and moving.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Type your address

    Write your email address and 1B Mail finds the server settings for you from the provider's public configuration. For Gmail it walks you through creating an app password; for Microsoft accounts you sign in with Microsoft.

  2. Step 2

    Or bring everything from your old program

    Coming from Thunderbird, or from classic Outlook on Windows? 1B Mail imports your accounts, identities and signatures. Your old program stays exactly as it was.

  3. Step 3

    Read it all in one place

    All accounts shows every inbox together, newest first, each account marked with its colour. Open a conversation and you see the whole exchange, including what you sent.

  4. Step 4

    Take it with you

    On Android the same accounts live in the drawer. Bring them over from your computer with a QR code instead of typing them again.

Who it's for

  • Several jobs, one inbox

    Freelancers with an address per client stop switching between webmail tabs.

  • Your own domain

    Hosted mailboxes with IMAP work like any big provider.

  • Family addresses

    Keep an eye on a shared household address without logging in and out.

Good to know

  • IMAP only: POP3 accounts aren't supported.
  • In a Microsoft work account, your administrator may need to approve 1B Mail first.
  • Proton Mail works through Proton Mail Bridge.

Questions about this feature

Which providers work?

Gmail, Outlook.com, Hotmail, Microsoft 365, Yahoo, iCloud, AOL, GMX, Zoho, Fastmail and any provider that offers IMAP and SMTP.

Is there a limit to the number of accounts?

No. Add as many as you use; each keeps its own folders, signature and colour.

Does my mail pass through 1Byte?

No. 1B Mail talks to your mail servers directly. While you set up an account it may also look up public auto-configuration directories to find the server settings.

Can I keep using Thunderbird or Outlook at the same time?

Yes. 1B Mail reads the same mailboxes on the server, so both programs see the same messages and folders.
