Instant alerts
Turn on Settings › Notifications › Instant alerts and new Outlook mail alerts within seconds, with the sender and subject. The optional relay stores only device and registration identifiers and one-way hashes — never email content or passwords.
Large attachments
Penvia sends Outlook attachments up to 150 MB, with progress, and keeps one copy in Sent.
Questions
Does Penvia work with Microsoft 365 work accounts?
Yes, if your organisation allows third-party mail apps. Some tenants need admin approval the first time.
Are Outlook alerts instant?
Yes. With Instant alerts on, Microsoft notifies Penvia’s relay and your iPhone shows the alert within seconds.
