How to access your mail.com inbox: 3 easy options

3 ways to access your mail.com inbox:

Access your inbox in your web browser on a computer

Are you someone who likes to stick with what you know? Maybe you've always signed in to your email account on the mail.com homepage using your email address and password. Even with other options available, this traditional way of checking email is still a convenient choice.

You can access your inbox from any computer with an internet connection, whether you're at home or traveling. Just remember to sign out if you're using a shared computer.

A larger screen also makes it easier to manage your emails, access photos and files in your mail.com Cloud, organize your contacts and appointments, or edit documents using our free Online Office.

For additional account security, mail.com offers two-factor authentication. When enabled, this requires a one-time code from a separate authentication app when you sign in on a computer.

But if you prefer checking emails on your phone, the free mail.com Mail App might be a better fit. Which brings us to…

Access your inbox with the mail.com Mail App

The free mail.com Mail App is easy to install and lets you check your emails wherever you have an internet connection. You can also access any files you saved in your mail.com Cloud directly from your smartphone or tablet.

An added benefit of the Mail App: extra protection for your emails

You can protect your inbox with a four-digit PIN to prevent others from opening your emails on your phone. On compatible devices, you can then use fingerprint or facial recognition to unlock the app.

Another useful feature you might not know about: The mail.com Mail App for iOS and Android lets you scan documents using your phone's camera and send them as PDF attachments. This comes in handy when you need to send a form or receipt. You can also save your scans to your mail.com Cloud.

Get quick access on your computer with MailCheck

The free mail.com MailCheck browser extension is designed for anyone who wants quick access to their emails on a laptop or desktop computer.

Once you've installed MailCheck and signed in, an envelope icon appears in your browser toolbar. Click it to open your inbox without having to enter your login details each time.

This is especially useful if you're expecting an important email – you don't have to keep refreshing your inbox. MailCheck automatically notifies you in your browser when new emails arrive. You can also turn on audio notifications if you prefer. So you can keep browsing or working on other tasks without missing a new message.

MailCheck is available for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.
 

FAQ: Accessing your mail.com inbox

1. How do I open my email inbox?

You have three options: Sign in directly in your browser at www.mail.com, use the free mail.com Mail App on your smartphone or tablet, or open your inbox through the MailCheck browser extension.

2. Can I use mail.com with other email programs?

Yes, but you'll need a mail.com Premium account to access your emails through third-party programs such as Outlook, Thunderbird, or Apple Mail. Premium users can enable POP3 or IMAP in their mail.com account settings. These are methods that allow other email programs to retrieve messages from your inbox. You'll also need to enter the appropriate server settings in your email program.

If you have a free mail.com account, you can check your emails through the mail.com website or the free Mail App instead.

3. Where can I find my email inbox?

That depends on how you access your mail.com account:

• In your browser: Sign in at www.mail.com. Your email inbox opens automatically.
• In the mail.com Mail App: Open the app and select your Inbox folder.
• With MailCheck: Click the envelope icon in your browser toolbar to access your emails.
