Everything EMX does today, and what is still missing.
EMX is email, calendars and contacts, and only that. What it has works the same in the browser, on the phone and in every mail app. What it lacks is listed below, with no dates.
EMX is in beta. Mailboxes, shared mailboxes, calendars, contacts, the web client, every mail app over IMAP and SMTP, calendar and contacts apps over CalDAV and CardDAV, the API and the webhooks work today; more features are being added.What is not included yet
In the mailbox
A fast web client
List, conversations and reading in one window, with keyboard shortcuts, drag and drop, and Undo after a move.
Screener
First contacts wait in a folder of their own. Letting someone in once is enough; blocked senders are never seen again.
Rules on the server
File, flag or forward by sender, subject or recipient. They work while no device is on.
Out of office and forwarding
Automatic replies for a period, to real senders only. Forwarding where your organisation allows it.
Search
Searches subject, sender and text on the server. Sealed mailboxes are searched by the browser itself.
Reply needed
When someone asks you something and you have not answered yet, the message says so, with Reply beside it.
Ten themes, four languages
Light, dark, quiet or high contrast, plus one that follows the system, and three densities. The interface speaks English, German, French and Italian.
Writing and sending
Undo send
After Send, the message waits on the server: off, 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds, ten unless you change it. Undo opens it again as a draft, with its files.
Send later
Later today, tomorrow morning, Monday morning or a time you pick, up to a year ahead. The server sends it whether anyone is signed in or not.
Reminders when nobody answers
If no reply comes within 1 to 14 days, your sent message is back, unread, on top of the inbox.
Snippets
Inserted with ;; or / at the start of a line, with first names and names filled in; your own and the shared mailbox's, up to 200 per account.
Forgot the attachment?
When your text mentions an attachment and no file is there, EMX asks before sending. Quotes, the signature and mentions of somebody else's file do not count.
Signature and sender
A signature per person, sending as a shared mailbox or on its behalf where the right is given.
Calendars
Views
Day, three days, week, month and agenda, with a key for every view and step.
Events and series
Drag over free time to make an event, drag to move and lengthen it. Change a series for this event, the following ones or all.
Invitations
Invitations, updates and cancellations go to attendees as ordinary mail. Answer incoming invitations in the message with Accept, Maybe or Decline. EMX takes nothing from strangers, from the screener or from mail that fails DMARC.
Free and busy
While inviting, colleagues' busy time shows, without titles or details.
Calendars of shared mailboxes
Beside your own, in their colours, with the shared mailbox's rights.
CalDAV and a feed address
Apple Calendar, Thunderbird and other calendar apps sync over CalDAV. A secret feed address shows a calendar in apps that only read.
Contacts
Address books
For every person and every shared mailbox, with the shared mailbox's rights. With groups, photos, birthdays and notes, searched quickly even with ten thousand contacts.
The company directory
Everybody and every shared mailbox of your organisation with their addresses, without anybody keeping it up.
While you write
The web client suggests contacts, colleagues and the addresses you have exchanged mail with. Whoever is in your contacts gets past the screener.
CardDAV and .vcf
Apple Contacts, Thunderbird and Android with DAVx5 sync over CardDAV. An address book imports and exports as a .vcf file.
For the team
Shared mailboxes
With read, write, delete, send as and manage, given to each person on their own.
Writing together
Several people write a shared mailbox's drafts live, with each person's caret and name, who is typing and who is there.
Groups and aliases
One address for several people, more addresses for one person, without another mailbox.
Organisation rules
New people join the right shared mailboxes by themselves.
When someone leaves
The mailbox becomes a shared mailbox or goes to a colleague with its addresses. All of it is in the audit log.
Spam filter
On incoming and outgoing mail. EMX refuses attachments that are programs, also inside archives.
Administration and domains
All in one place
People, domains, shared mailboxes, filter and subscription, with a record of every change.
DNS, checked live
Every record is checked in DNS, wrong ones with what was found beside what is expected; an open domain checks itself every 45 seconds.
Setup with Cloudflare
With an API token for the zone, EMX makes the records after a preview of every change. The token is used once and not kept.
Domain Connect
With supported DNS providers, Domain Connect sets up the records. EMX moves the MX only when you tick it.
On every device
Install it as an app
The web client installs on phone and computer and tells you about new mail, without an app store.
Onto the phone with a code
Settings show a code; the phone scans it and is signed in, with nothing to type.
Every mail app
Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird and the phone's mail app over IMAP and SMTP, with an app password per device.
iPhone, iPad and Mac
A profile sets up mail, calendar and contacts, with an app password of its own.
What is not included yet
EMX is in beta, and this list gets shorter. We do not give dates for these.
- Exchange ActiveSyncOutlook and phones connect over IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV.
- Apps of its own in the app storesThe installable web client and the phone's own mail, calendar and contacts apps take their place.
- Calendars and contacts in sealed mailboxesA sealed mailbox has no calendars and no address books in this version.
- Virus scanningA scan for known viruses runs only once the platform offers a virus scanner. None is connected today; EMX still refuses programs as attachments.
- Signed installersThe desktop app is open and builds itself, but is not signed yet.
- Office programs, file storage, video callsNot part of EMX and not planned. EMX works beside the programs you already use for them.
