ProxiedMail review: a cheap email relay, not a mailbox

ProxiedMail gives you unlimited proxy email addresses, on its domains or your own, that forward to the inbox you already use. AppSumo sells the Plus Plan for $10 once. What it covers, where the mask can slip, and what buyers report.

Covered on Software Point
Free plan
Yes on ProxiedMail's own site: Personal, up to 10 proxy emails and a single real email

60-day refund on AppSumo
Platforms
Web app; works with any email provider (Gmail, Outlook, Proton and others)
Best for
Individuals, freelancers, solopreneurs, developers

Bottom line: ProxiedMail hands out a separate email address for every sign-up, shop or newsletter, and forwards whatever arrives to the inbox you already use. You can reply and send from those addresses, and you can run the whole thing on your own domain. On AppSumo the Plus Plan costs $10 once, read on 29 October 2026, and the card matches ProxiedMail’s own Plus plan almost line for line. That’s cheap, and the listing is “Covered by our We Got Your Back guarantee” with a 60-day refund. The catch is in what it is: a relay, not a mailbox. Your mail still lives in Gmail, Outlook or Proton, and two buyers report places where the mask slips.

Best for: privacy-minded people, freelancers and small businesses who want throwaway-proof addresses, or a custom domain on an inbox they already like.

Think twice if: you want a full hosted mailbox, IMAP collection from old accounts, or a mobile app today.

We have no affiliate deal with ProxiedMail or AppSumo; links go to the official pages. How we review.

Updated 29 October 2026. This ProxiedMail review rests on what we read that day: the ProxiedMail listing on AppSumo, including the plan card, the deal terms, the FAQs, questions and reviews, and ProxiedMail’s own pricing page. We haven’t created aliases or sent mail through it, so we describe the plan, the limits and what buyers report, not delivery rates.

What ProxiedMail does

Think of it as a switchboard. You create an address like shop-name@ one of ProxiedMail’s domains, or anything@ your own domain, and point it at your real inbox. When a store or newsletter writes to that address, ProxiedMail passes the message on. When you see a service start sending spam, you switch that one address off and nothing else changes. If spam turns up on an address you only gave to one company, you know who leaked it.

The Plus Plan card on AppSumo lists:

  • Addresses: unlimited proxy emails and unlimited unused proxy emails, plus deletion of proxy emails.
  • Your domain: email forwarding with your custom domain.
  • Two-way mail: replying to incoming emails and sending outbound emails from your proxy addresses.
  • Security: multi-factor authentication, an “Additional layer of AES encryption,” data-leak alerts and email tracking protection.
  • Extras: a built-in password manager for proxy emails, up to 50 messages with the ProxiedMail ChatGPT email bot, and up to 10,000 incoming API requests or webhooks.
  • Service: a 99.9% availability service-level agreement and “Fastest support.”

The founder’s post on the listing, dated April 2025, adds that ProxiedMail doesn’t store communication “besides logs for 3 days to enable message resending in case of failure.” The FAQ says its servers are Digital Ocean machines in the Netherlands.

The thing most people miss: it’s a relay, not a mailbox

Here’s the line most people miss. ProxiedMail doesn’t keep your email. The FAQ says plainly that messages “are stored in your own mailbox.” So the deal doesn’t give you an inbox, storage or a webmail app; it sits in front of the inbox you already have and passes mail through.

That’s a strength if you like your current email client. You can move from Gmail to Proton next year and keep every proxy address, because the addresses belong to ProxiedMail, not to Gmail. One July 2026 reviewer put it simply: switch one destination address “and all your services point there.”

It’s a weakness if you were hoping to replace a mailbox outright. You still need a real inbox somewhere, and its rules still apply. A September 2026 buyer who set up 10 domains in under 30 minutes said forwarded mail landed in their spam folder until they tuned their inbox’s filters. Honestly, the setup is only half the job; the other half is teaching your real inbox to trust what arrives.

There’s also no way to pull mail in from old accounts. In January 2026 a buyer asked for POP3 or IMAP collection to merge several free accounts. The founder replied in February that “currently we don’t have capacity for such feature” and that it “might be possible to implement in the mid-end of 2026.” We found nothing on either page saying it has shipped.

Where the mask can slip

ProxiedMail’s whole promise is that the other side never sees your real address. Three dated reports on the listing are worth reading before you trust it with anything sensitive.

Your display name travels. In August 2026 a buyer asked what a webinar host would see. Another buyer, not the founder, answered that in most cases the recipient sees your real email username next to the alias, for example “Lee S” in front of the proxy address. If your inbox shows your full legal name, so will your replies. If you’ve got your full name set there, change the display name in your real inbox before you reply to anyone.

Long reply threads. An October 2026 reviewer who uses ProxiedMail daily wrote that once a thread reaches “the 3-5th reply then it will start to use/show your actual email address.” The founder answered three days later: “We’re going to take a look at that.” So it was acknowledged, not fixed, when we read the page.

The forwarding banner. A September 2026 reviewer using custom domains for business said customers saw “Forwarded to” and a ProxiedMail logo, and that the “Remove banner in forwarded emails” setting didn’t work for them. We found no reply to that review.

In practice, test a long reply thread with a friend before you hand a proxy address to a client. That costs ten minutes and settles the question for your own setup.

What the $10 Plus Plan includes

AppSumo sells a single plan, so there’s no tier ladder to climb.

PlanPriceIncludes
Plus Plan
Anyone wanting private aliases or a custom domain on their own inbox
$10 once Unlimited proxy emails, Up to 50 real emails, Up to 10,000 incoming API requests/webhooks, Replies and outbound mail from proxy addresses

One-time price on AppSumo, read 29 October 2026; the deal is not stackable. ProxiedMail's own site lists a free Personal plan, Plus at $20 a year and Forever at $30 once (figures from the price file its pricing page requests; the page showed no figures when loaded), and a $1,000 'I am Rich' plan. Its cards say 14-day money-back; its footer says 7-day.

Prices checked Oct 29, 2026 on ProxiedMail’s own pricing page. Lifetime deals are listings that can end or change, so check the live listing before you buy.

The question pages on the listing show the Plus Plan at $10 against a “$20” figure and “50% off.” That’s the listing’s own comparison; we’d read it as AppSumo’s framing, not a saving you can bank. The main listing also says “Limited-time deal,” so don’t assume it’ll be there next month.

The deal terms tie your code to “All future Plus Plan updates,” and ProxiedMail’s own site sells a plan called Plus. That’s a cleaner match than most deals we’ve read.

Picking your setup: four worked examples

There’s only one plan, so the useful sums are about whether its limits fit your life.

One person, one inbox, lots of sign-ups. Say you create a fresh address for every shop, app and newsletter: 30 a year, 150 over five years. Proxy emails are unlimited, so the count never bites. Your one real inbox uses 1 of the 50 allowed. This is the simplest case, and it’s where $10 goes furthest.

A household. Four people, each with their own Gmail or Outlook, share one ProxiedMail account and one family domain. That’s 4 real inboxes out of 50. Turns out the limit that matters here isn’t a number at all; it’s that one account holds everyone’s aliases, so whoever owns the login can see them all.

A freelancer with client domains. One April 2026 reviewer added three custom domains and said it “can easily replace an expensive M365 or Google Workspace subscription.” The founder replied that “You just pay a roughly a month of Google Workspace with ProxiedMail and you can use your custom domain on gmail forever.” We didn’t price Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for this review. What we can say is that the AppSumo card doesn’t state a domain count, while ProxiedMail’s own Plus card says “Unlimited domains” and even its free plan says “Up to 50 custom domains.” If you’ve got more than a handful of domains, ask support to confirm the number before day 60.

A developer wiring up webhooks. The card allows up to 10,000 incoming API requests or webhooks, without saying per month. ProxiedMail’s own free plan says “Up to 2000 incoming API requests/webhooks per month,” so a monthly reset is the likely reading. A script that receives 300 emails a day uses about 9,000 a month, which sits just under the cap. At 400 a day you’d be at roughly 12,000 and over it. When you plan an automation, count daily volume times 30 and leave room.

The ChatGPT email bot is the smallest allowance: up to 50 messages. Honestly, treat it as a demo; don’t bother buying for it.

The deal vs ProxiedMail’s own plans

ProxiedMail’s pricing page, read on 29 October 2026, shows four cards: a free Personal plan, Plus “Billed annually,” Forever “Billed once,” and a $1,000 “I am Rich” plan for a single vanity address. The page we loaded didn’t print figures on the Plus and Forever cards. The price file the page calls listed Plus at $20 a year and Forever at $30 once, with a $150 “was” figure on Forever.

ProxiedMail’s own planPriceWhat it adds
PersonalFreeUp to 10 proxy emails, single real email, up to 50 custom domains
Plus$20 a year (price file)Unlimited proxy emails and domains, replies, sending, 50 real emails
Forever$30 once (price file)“Everything from ‘Plus’ plan,” paid once
I am Rich$1,000 onceOne address on a vanity domain, “Not refundable”

So the AppSumo deal costs a third of Forever and half of one year of Plus, for the same Plus feature list. The refund side favours AppSumo too. ProxiedMail’s own Plus and Forever cards say “14 days money-back guarantee,” while the footer of the same page says “7-day money-back guarantee.” The page contradicts itself; AppSumo’s 60 days applies to AppSumo buyers either way.

Honestly, there’s little case for buying direct while this listing is live, unless you need more than one account, since the deal isn’t stackable.

What buyers report

The listing shows 4.65 stars from 78 reviews and 2,557 purchases. The breakdown is lopsided: 69 five-taco reviews, 2 four, 1 three, 1 two and 5 one-taco reviews.

Daily users like it. An October 2026 reviewer who says they’ve bought hundreds of AppSumo deals called it “one that I still use daily,” praising simple setup, quick email support and a “friendly guy running it.” An August 2026 reviewer said most alias services “only offer subscriptions,” and called the deal a gift at this price.

The interface is plain. Two reviews, from July and August 2026, say the design “could be polished” or “isn’t exactly polished,” while both say it works.

An outage with a cause. In early September 2026 a buyer said the service stopped working for them, with a Mailgun “401 Unauthorized” error. The founder replied on 10 September that a third-party sending provider “have blocked our account,” that proxiedmail.com had been on that provider while pxdmail.com, pxdmail.net and custom domains ran on ProxiedMail’s own infrastructure, and that the team moved proxiedmail.com in-house. It’s a frank answer. Turns out delivery also depends on suppliers you can’t see, which most people miss when they compare alias tools on features alone.

Payment emails can go missing. The October reviewer added that using a proxy address for purchases meant they didn’t receive onboarding emails from checkout systems like ThriveCart and Stripe. Don’t forget that before you use a proxy address on an order you need receipts for. In practice, keep your real address for anything that bills you.

A small team, and a hard summer

The listing describes ProxiedMail as a 1-10 person, bootstrapped startup. On 29 July 2026 the company blog announced that Vitalii, a developer since 2022 and the founder’s father, died on 25 July. When a buyer raised it on the listing in October, the founder answered on 19 October that “we have people to run ProxiedMail” and that “All systems has been paid for a years upfront.” We include this because continuity matters when you’re routing bank and government mail through one small company, and the founder addressed it directly.

The terms

The deal terms read:

  • “Lifetime access to ProxiedMail.”
  • “All future Plus Plan updates.”
  • “If Plan name changes, deal will be mapped to the new Plan name with all accompanying updates.”
  • “You must redeem your code(s) within 60 days of purchase.”
  • “Please note: This deal is not stackable.”

The guarantee line reads “Covered by our We Got Your Back guarantee,” and the listing says “Refundable up to 60 days.”

ProxiedMail vs SimpleLogin, Addy.io and built-in alias tools

ProxiedMail’s own site publishes comparison pages against SimpleLogin and Addy.io, and alternative pages for Firefox Relay, DuckDuckGo Email Protection and Apple Hide My Email. Those are the vendor’s pages, so read them as such. We didn’t price SimpleLogin, Addy.io or Firefox Relay for this review, and we make no claims about their features here.

Two facts from the AppSumo FAQ do help if you’ve used one of them. ProxiedMail says you can export aliases from SimpleLogin and send them to support, who will import them, “typically completing the process within a day.” And it separates itself from temporary-email sites: its addresses are permanent, and a deleted address can be recreated because “it is reserved for you indefinitely.”

Common mistakes with the ProxiedMail deal

Treating it as a mailbox. It forwards; it doesn’t store. Don’t use it as your only copy of anything; keep a real inbox you trust.

Leaving your full name as the display name. Recipients may see it next to the alias, per a buyer’s answer on the listing.

Using a proxy address at checkout without testing. One buyer missed onboarding emails from payment systems.

Assuming the banner is gone. One business user still saw a ProxiedMail banner after switching the setting off. Don’t trust the toggle; send yourself a test first.

Buying two codes for two people. The deal isn’t stackable, so each person needs their own purchase and account.

Skipping the redemption deadline. Redeem within 60 days of purchase.

Who ProxiedMail suits

Anyone tired of spam from sign-ups. Unlimited addresses, each one switchable, for $10 once.

Freelancers and small firms with a domain. Custom-domain forwarding with replies and sending, on top of the inbox you already use.

Developers. Webhooks and an API for routing incoming mail into scripts.

People who need a full hosted mailbox, IMAP pick-up or a mobile app now. Skip the deal; it isn’t built for that yet.

How to test it inside the refund window

  1. Create three proxy addresses for a newsletter, a shop and a friend.
  2. Run a reply thread to six messages with the friend, and check which address and name they see each time.
  3. Attach your custom domain and send from it to an outside account, checking spam placement.
  4. Turn off the forwarding banner and confirm it’s gone on a fresh message.
  5. Ask support how many custom domains your Plus code allows, and keep the answer.

What we couldn’t check

We didn’t send or receive mail, so we can’t speak to delivery, spam placement or speed. The AppSumo card doesn’t state a custom-domain limit, and we couldn’t confirm whether the “Unlimited domains” line on ProxiedMail’s own Plus card applies to AppSumo codes. The vendor’s pricing page didn’t display Plus and Forever prices when we loaded it; the figures above come from the price file that page requests. Whether the 10,000 API requests reset monthly, and whether the masking and banner issues buyers reported in September and October 2026 are fixed, were open when we read the pages. The FAQ’s mobile app, promised “by the end of summer,” isn’t dated, so we can’t say whether it’s out.

FAQ: ProxiedMail questions

Is ProxiedMail a one-time payment on AppSumo?

Yes. The Plus Plan is $10 once for lifetime access, read on 29 October 2026, and the deal isn’t stackable.

Does ProxiedMail store my emails?

No. Its FAQ says messages are stored in your own mailbox, and the founder says only logs are kept, for 3 days.

Can I use ProxiedMail with my own domain?

Yes. The plan includes forwarding with your custom domain, plus replying and sending from proxy addresses on it.

Is the AppSumo deal cheaper than ProxiedMail’s own lifetime plan?

On the pages we read, yes. ProxiedMail’s price file lists Forever at $30 once and Plus at $20 a year, against $10 once on AppSumo with a 60-day refund.

The verdict

ProxiedMail does a useful, narrow job: it puts a layer of disposable, switchable addresses in front of the inbox you already use, and it lets you run your own domain through it. At $10 once with a 60-day refund and AppSumo’s guarantee, the price is hard to argue with, and it undercuts the vendor’s own lifetime plan. Read it as a relay, though, not a mailbox, and test the masking yourself, because buyers have reported a visible display name, a banner that wouldn’t switch off and long threads that showed a real address. A one-to-ten person team and a supplier block in September are the other risks to weigh.
