Email Inbox Introduction

The yey.email inbox is a powerful, unified email management system that consolidates multiple email accounts into a single, secure interface. Built with privacy and convenience at its core, the inbox transforms any standard email account into an encrypted communication hub while maintaining full compatibility with existing email infrastructure.

How It Works

Universal Email Integration

The inbox connects to your existing email accounts through secure IMAP protocols, supporting:

• Gmail - Seamless integration with app password authentication

• Outlook - One-click OAuth2 setup for Microsoft accounts

• Yahoo - Direct connection with app password support

• Custom IMAP - Universal compatibility with any email provider

Conversation Threading

Emails are automatically organized using Gmail-style conversation threading, grouping related messages together for easier navigation and context. The system intelligently handles:

• Reply chains and forwards

• Subject line variations (Re:, Fwd:, etc.)

• Cross-account conversations

• Threaded discussions

Multi-Account Management

Switch seamlessly between different email accounts or view all messages in a unified inbox. Each account maintains its own:

• Folder structure and labels

• Read/unread status

• Starred messages

• Custom filters and categories

Encryption Capabilities

Transform Any Inbox Into an Encrypted Hub

The most powerful feature of yey.email is its ability to add end-to-end encryption to any email provider, regardless of their native security features. This means you can:

• Encrypt Gmail: Turn your regular Gmail account into a secure, encrypted communication channel

• Secure Yahoo: Add military-grade encryption to Yahoo Mail without changing providers

• Protect Outlook: Enhance Microsoft's email with additional encryption layers

• Encrypt Any Provider: Apply encryption to custom IMAP accounts from any email service

Seamless Encrypted Communication

Send and receive encrypted emails that appear completely normal to external observers:

• Invisible Encryption: Encrypted emails look like regular messages - no visual indicators reveal their encrypted status

• Universal Compatibility: Recipients don't need special software to receive encrypted messages

• Automatic Key Management: The system handles encryption keys transparently

• Cross-Platform Security: Encrypted messages work across all email clients and devices

How Email Encryption Works

1. Compose your message normally in the inbox interface

2. Enable encryption for sensitive communications with a simple toggle

3. Send the message through your connected IMAP account

4. Recipients receive what appears to be a normal email

5. Decryption happens automatically for authorized recipients through the yey.email system

Privacy Benefits

• Zero-Knowledge Architecture: Your encryption keys are never stored on our servers

• Provider Agnostic: Add encryption to any email service without changing providers

• Backward Compatible: Encrypted emails degrade gracefully for non-encrypted recipients

• No Metadata Leakage: Email headers and routing information remain standard
