Penvia
Updated 8 November 2026
Which accounts work
- Gmail and Google Workspace
- Outlook, Hotmail and Microsoft 365
- Yahoo and AOL
- iCloud Mail, including addresses on your own domain
- Any IMAP/SMTP account with SSL/TLS; settings for many custom domains are found automatically
The free version includes two accounts; Penvia Pro supports up to five.
One person, one chat, across accounts
When someone writes to both your work and your personal address, Penvia can combine their addresses into one chat. Updates and Files cover every account too, so a receipt or a contract is in one place, wherever it arrived. Switch to a single account from the side menu at any time.
Signing in
Outlook, Hotmail and Microsoft 365 use Microsoft's own sign-in page, and Gmail can use Google sign-in, so Penvia never sees those passwords. Yahoo, AOL and iCloud use an app-specific password that you create in your account settings. Step-by-step guides: Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and AOL, iCloud Mail.
New-mail alerts
Gmail (with Google sign-in) and Outlook get instant alerts. For Yahoo, iCloud and other IMAP accounts you can switch on optional Instant alerts for each account: Penvia's mail-watch service then keeps that account's sign-in encrypted and watches its Inbox read-only for new mail. Without it, those accounts refresh in the background, on a schedule iOS decides.
Questions
How many accounts can I add?
Two with the free version, and up to five with Penvia Pro.
Does my mail move to a Penvia server?
No. Penvia connects your device directly to each provider. Your mail stays with your provider and on your device.
Will folders and read status stay in sync?
Yes. Penvia reads and writes through your provider, so read status, folders and sent mail stay in sync with your other apps and the web.
Can I look at just one account?
Yes. Choose an account from the side menu to see only its mail.
