Who Penvia is for
People who get most of their important email from people — clients, colleagues, family — and want those conversations on top, with newsletters and receipts quietly collected elsewhere.
Who might prefer a classic inbox
If you work through email strictly by date, or rely on server-side rules and shared mailboxes, a classic inbox may suit you better. You can try Penvia free with two accounts and keep using any other app alongside it.
Questions
Is Penvia an email provider?
No. Penvia doesn't give you a new address. It's an app for your existing Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud and IMAP accounts.
Can I use Penvia together with another email app?
Yes. Penvia reads and writes through your provider, so read status, folders and sent mail stay in sync with your other apps.
