An email app that works like your messaging app

You already know how to read messages: one conversation per person, newest at the bottom, reply in a line. Penvia brings that to email, without changing your address.

Updated 10 November 2026

What changes

  • One chat per person, across every account and subject. Several addresses of the same person are combined.
  • Replies look like messages. Quoted text and signatures are tidied away; the full email is one tap away.
  • Group emails open as one group conversation.
  • Newsletters and receipts go to Updates, so Chats stays human.

What stays email

The people you write to still get normal email. Nobody needs Penvia to talk to you. Your provider, address and folders stay the same, and you can always open the original email.

New in 1.5

  • Translate an email in the chat and check your translated reply before you send.
  • Draft a reply and Catch me up, with Apple Intelligence on supported devices and languages.
  • An Apple Watch app and widgets for the people who matter.

Questions

Do the people I email need Penvia?

No. Penvia sends and receives normal email. Only your view changes.

Is it like a chat app that uses email underneath?

No. Some chat apps send messages as email and work best when both sides use them. Penvia is an email app: it reads your existing mailbox and shows it as conversations.

Which accounts work?

Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365, Yahoo, iCloud Mail and any IMAP account.
