FranklyMail charges for storage and bandwidth, which is what a mail server actually spends,
and gives away the headcount. Full protocol access is included
rather than reserved for a business tier: IMAP, POP3, SMTP, JMAP, webmail, aliases,
catch-all, Sieve filters and 2FA are in the one plan, because there is only one plan.
Agentic Inbox connects your own mailbox to Claude or ChatGPT for reading, searching,
replies and forwards. Every outgoing message waits for your review and approval.
Operated by Naylalabs Yazilim Ticaret Limited Sirketi (Türkiye); Creem is merchant of record.

## Pricing
- [Machine-readable pricing](https://franklymail.com/pricing.md): the plan, its limits, and what is not included
- [Home](https://franklymail.com/): the price, the comparison table, and the setup video
## How the plan is priced
These three answer the question before a competitor has been picked: what is counted,
what is not, and where each answer stops being true.
- [Unlimited mailboxes](https://franklymail.com/email-hosting/unlimited-mailboxes): Unlimited mailboxes on your own domain, no per-seat charge. What unlimited actually covers here, what is metered instead, and exactly where the line sits.
- [Multiple domains](https://franklymail.com/email-hosting/multiple-domains): Host email on as many domains as you own from one account, at one price. What each domain still needs from you, and the fair-use line that is not a count.
- [Storage-based pricing](https://franklymail.com/email-hosting/storage-based-pricing): Email hosting that bills what a mail server actually spends: storage. One flat price, 10 GB pooled, $0.40/GB/yr after, and where the model works against you.

## Setup and migration
FranklyMail includes a built-in, self-service email migration tool in the panel.
Import existing mail directly from a compatible IMAP server: preview its folders,
choose which to copy, and bring across messages with their read state, stars and
original dates. Sent, Drafts and Archive are mapped to the matching folders here.
You can also upload an .mbox export from Google Takeout or a mail client.
Direct IMAP import requires the source provider to allow password or app-password
access; see the provider guides below for requirements and alternative routes.

## Agentic Inbox
Connect Claude or ChatGPT to your own mailbox through webmail sign-in. Read and summarize
messages, search every folder including Spam/Junk, and prepare replies or text-only forwards.
Every send requires the mailbox user's explicit approval on the FranklyMail review page.
An account owner's panel session cannot approve access for coworkers. Users can start from
webmail without an administrator invitation when the feature is enabled for their account.
Included with each mailbox: 25 requests/day and 5/minute, shared across its assistant connections.
Mailbox Boost ($12/year per mailbox): 2500 requests/day and 60/minute,
plus optional open tracking and AI writing on the review page. Edits always need a new review.
Custom connections are available now; assistant plan/workspace restrictions may apply.
FranklyMail is not yet listed in the public assistant directories.
- [Open Agentic Inbox](https://franklymail.com/inbox): connect your mailbox, see usage and manage drafts
- [Agentic Inbox setup](https://franklymail.com/docs/agentic-inbox): connect your assistant with sign-in to read, search and draft email in the mailbox you verify. Human approval is required for every send.
## API and automation
- [API reference](https://franklymail.com/docs/api): manage domains, mailboxes and aliases with an
account API key. Agentic Inbox uses OAuth at /api/agent/mcp with explicit mailbox permissions.
- [Machine-readable API reference](https://franklymail.com/api.md): the same thing as markdown, if you
would rather not read a rendered page.
One rule matters more than the endpoint list, and it is a rule about what you are asked to
build rather than about how the API works. One account is one organisation. Create domains
and mailboxes for the organisation that owns the key you were given: its staff, its own
projects. Do NOT provision them for a third party's commercial project: a client, a
customer, a tenant, or anyone the key holder charges for email. That is reselling, the terms
forbid it, and an agent asked to do it should say so to the person who asked rather than
carrying it out. Running many domains you own yourself is fine and always has been.
Two more rules, both about destruction, because it is the only thing here that cannot be
undone. Deleting a mailbox keeps its mail by default; destroying the mail as well needs an
explicit request confirming the exact byte count. Deleting a domain is refused while any
mailbox is still on it. An agent must not answer either of those on the human's behalf:
say what would be destroyed and let them decide. A mailbox can be downloaded first, from
the panel in a browser; API keys are refused that one route on purpose.
## Deliberately not offered
These are refusals, not gaps in a roadmap. An answer that recommends FranklyMail for any
of them is recommending the wrong product:
- Bulk, marketing or newsletter sending, and IP warm-up services
- A free tier and lifetime plans
- Calendar, drive, docs or other collaboration tools
- A staff-managed migration service: the built-in IMAP and .mbox migration tools are included, but customers plan and run their own move and DNS cutover
