A mailbox, a forwarder and a sending API are different
Before comparing providers, write down what you need. A mailbox stores incoming messages and lets you reply. A forwarder passes messages elsewhere. A transactional sending API delivers application messages such as sign-in links. One service may support several roles, but they are not interchangeable.
Purelymail's feature page describes standard mail access and webmail. Its technical setup guide gives the client settings. Use the full email address as the username and check whether an app password is needed when two-factor authentication is enabled.
Client settings to verify
| Purpose | Server | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Read messages | imap.purelymail.com | Port 993 with TLS |
| Send messages | smtp.purelymail.com | Port 465 with TLS |
| Alternative submission | smtp.purelymail.com | Port 587 with STARTTLS |
These are the documented settings checked in September 2026. Recheck the provider guide when configuring an account. Never disable encryption to make a connection error disappear.
Move the domain without losing the existing mailbox
Create the destination accounts first. Inventory aliases, forwarding rules and devices. Export or migrate existing messages before cancelling the old service. Lowering a DNS record's TTL in advance may shorten cache turnover, but it does not force every resolver to update immediately.
Use the records shown in the provider's domain setup. MX controls incoming delivery; SPF and DKIM support authentication of outgoing messages; DMARC evaluates alignment with the visible sender domain. Do not paste an unrelated provider's SPF include into your domain. If several systems send mail, they need to be considered together.
After changing MX, send a message from an external account, reply from the new mailbox and inspect the received headers. Test an alias and a phone too. Keep the old account available while confirming the migration.
What about price and delivery?
Check the current pricing and usage-based pricing details for your actual storage and sending pattern. A low subscription price does not describe every workload. This guide does not promise a fixed future price or guaranteed inbox placement.
For ordinary business correspondence, managed mail can remove server administration from your workload. If control of the mail infrastructure is a firm requirement, compare that with the self-hosted email checklist. Keep transactional application email separate in your design when its volume or operational needs differ.
