What you get

Give your business an email address of its own.

Build a professional identity with email on your own domain. Explore Patra for your business or team.

  • Custom domain

    Mailboxes and aliases on your own domain, like you@, sales@ and support@yourcompany.com, instead of a free webmail address.

  • Your mailbox

    Use webmail in any browser, or the apps you already have: Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird and your phone, through IMAP and SMTP. Modern apps can use JMAP.

  • Simple setup

    Sign up, verify your domain and add your users in about ten minutes.

    See how it works

  • Hosted in Mumbai

    Your mail is stored in the AWS Mumbai region in India and encrypted at rest. Connections from your apps, and from our relay, are protected with TLS.

  • Signed and authenticated

    Mail you send carries a digital signature for your domain (DKIM), with SPF and DMARC aligned to your domain, so receiving servers can check it really came from you.

  • Checked on arrival

    Incoming mail is checked for spam and phishing, including SPF, DKIM and DMARC verification, before it reaches your inbox.

  • Backed up every six hours

    Mailbox data is backed up every six hours to versioned storage. We practise restoring it, rather than assuming it works.

How it works

Connect your domain

Sign up, verify your domain and add your users in about ten minutes.

  1. Add your domain

    Sign up and enter the domain your business uses, like yourcompany.com.

  2. Update DNS

    DNS records are your domain’s public settings. Add the few records Patra shows you where you manage your domain. They prove the domain is yours and let other mail servers check your mail.

  3. Create mailboxes

    Add a mailbox for each person, plus aliases and groups such as sales@.

  • Switch when you’re ready. Mail starts arriving at Patra when you point your domain’s MX record, the setting that tells the internet where to deliver your mail, to us. Until then it keeps going to your current provider.

  • New accounts are reviewed before they can send, usually within one business day. Your users can receive mail while they wait.
