You’ll be surprised how easy it is to create a mail.com account in our app by Alyssa Schmitt
Specially developed for use with the Android or iOS operating systems, our apps let you enjoy the full security and convenience of your mail.com inbox while still taking advantage of phone features that you love, like facial identification, document scanning, email address and calendar syncing, dark mode and more! You can even make the mail.com mobile app the default email app on your phone.
Sign me up! You might say. But then you realize you don’t have a mail.com email account. No problem – you don’t need to be at your computer to register for a mail.com email address. Once you download the app to your mobile device, you can create a new mail.com email address in just a few taps and get started using the app right away. Here’s how it works:
To create an email address, type in your preferred name and tap the down arrow next to @mail.com to open a list of more than 100 mail.com email domains. Tap the circle next to your preferred domain to select it.
Tap “Check” to see if the requested email address is available. If it is, tap “Next” to register the address. If it is not available, the app will suggest similar email addresses that are still available. Tap “Accept” to select one of the suggested addresses.
Enter your name, location, and date of birth, then tap “Next”.
Enter a mobile phone number as a password recovery option. We will only use this number to send you a verification code if you initiate our password reset process. Important: please provide a valid cell phone number; otherwise, you will not be able to automatically reset your password if you should forget it.
Complete the reCAPTCHA process and agree to our privacy policy and terms and conditions (tap the links to read) by tapping “I agree. Create an email account now”.
Viola! Your new inbox will now open in the mail.com app and you can get started using your free email and Cloud. If you’d like some pointers on how to use the app, see Get started with our iOS email app
Pro tip: Automatic photo uploads and Cloud upgrades
One of our favorite features in the mail.com app is automatic photo upload, which you can activate at any time to create an automatic backup of any pictures you take on your phone. If you lose or break your phone, your precious memories will still be safe in your secure mail.com Cloud, where 2GB of cloud storage are free; if you’d like more storage space, it’s convenient to upgrade your Cloud as an in-app purchase right from the app menu.
As a first step, go to the Google Play Store and download the mail.com app for Android. When you open the app for the first time, there will be a welcome screen where you can log in or register. If you don’t have a mail.com email account yet – or even if you do, but you’d like to create another one to use for a different purpose – tap “Register”. Then follow these steps to create a customized mail.com email address and start using your account.
Type in your preferred email name (e.g., John.R.Smith), then select the email domain you’d like to combine it with. Tapping the arrow in the field next to “mail.com” will open a list of all our 100+ domains for you to choose from.
Tap “Check” to see if your desired combination is available. If it is not, you will be offered some suggestions of similar email addresses to choose from. Once you have an available address that you’re happy with, tap “Next”
Enter your name, location, and date of birth, then tap “Next”
Enter a mobile phone number for use in our password recovery process. We will only ever use this number to send you a verification code if you request a password reset. If you do not save a valid cell phone number, our automated password reset process will not work for you.
Complete the reCAPTCHA verification and then tap “I agree. Create an email account now”. (Tap the links to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions before agreeing.)
Congratulations on your new email address! The app will now open and you will have the option to sync your contacts and calendar and to activate photo uploads. No worries if you’re not ready to use any of these features yet – you can always go to your app settings and activate or deactivate functions as you wish. Do you need help with your new mail.com app?

Good to know: Why does mail.com want my address and date of birth when I register?
It’s important that you save accurate personal information in your account settings. That’s because we use this data in our identity verification process when you contact customer service for assistance. We also ask for a cell phone number – and you can also enter a contact email address under “My Account” – so we can contact you in case you cannot log in to your mail.com account, e.g., because you have forgotten your password. Never fear – mail.com does not ever share your personal account information with any third parties. For more details, see Account registration: What can happen if I enter false information?
We hope that you enjoy using the mail.com app mobile app on your smartphone!
