Plain, straightforward email

Tadpl Mail does one thing: run a clean, standards-based mailbox for you, and stay out of the way.

Privacy-respecting

No ads, no message scanning for marketing, no tracking pixels on this site.

Works with any client

Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, iOS, Android: anything that speaks IMAP and SMTP.

Standards-based

Standard IMAP and SMTP over encrypted connections. Nothing proprietary, no lock-in.

An honest beta

It’s early. We’re a small group, things may change, and we’ll tell you plainly when they do.

Invite-only

The beta is invite-only

We’re running Tadpl Mail with a small community group so we can keep quality high and fix things fast. Each invite code works once and creates one mailbox.

  1. Request an invite

    Email us at hello@tadpl.com with a line about how you’d use Tadpl Mail.

  2. Get your code

    If there’s room in the beta, we’ll reply from a @tadpl.com address with a one-time invite code.

  3. Redeem and sign in

    Redeem your code at mail.tadpl.com/signup. After you sign up, setup instructions are available when you sign in at mail.tadpl.com.

Tadpole will never ask for your password by email, and invite codes are only ever entered at mail.tadpl.com/signup. There’s nothing to pay and nothing to “unlock”.

Have an invite code?

Redeem it at mail.tadpl.com/signup. No invite yet? Request one at hello@tadpl.com.

  • Free during the beta
  • Invite only
  • Use your own mail app
