What email does

MeMail AG, operating commercially as email.co and memail.com, is a privately held, self-funded software company that sells personalized email addresses and mailbox subscriptions to consumers and small businesses worldwide. The company was founded by Michael Hauck (Chairman) and Anschelika Smoljar (Chief Executive), who assembled a curated portfolio of nearly 9,000 branded domain extensions (e.g., sport.email, london.email, charitymail.net) that serve as the differentiating inventory behind every address sold. The company is registered in Berlin, Germany (Friedrichstr. 171, 10117 Berlin; HRB 198542 B), operates a secondary presence in New York, and runs a globally distributed team of entrepreneurs, developers, engineers, designers, and support staff. Operating geographies span the US, Germany, and the UK with worldwide billing and product availability.

The product is built on commodity, best-of-breed infrastructure: email services run on Microsoft Exchange servers hosted on Microsoft Azure, with mail servers operated on Amazon Web Services. The platform is integrated with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for real-time, multi-device synchronization, and it offers a webmail interface powered by Microsoft Outlook alongside native compatibility with Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail, and Samsung Email. The core marketed feature stack includes SSL/TLS encryption with daily backups, an ad-free and no-third-party-scanning privacy posture, a unified inbox consolidating multiple addresses, modular storage scaling, large file attachments (up to 500MB on enterprise plans), and built-in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks management. There is no documented developer-facing API, SDK, or mobile app; the distribution surface is the email.co website plus a Zendesk-managed support operation.

The business model is direct-to-consumer subscription commerce on email.co. Pricing is modular and low-ARPU: a limited-time $0.99/month @memail.com promotional mailbox, a $2.49/month (or $24.99/year) Premium tier for any personalized domain, and storage add-ons at $0.49/month (5GB), $1.99/month (25GB), and $4.99/month (100GB), with annual discounts scaling to six months free on three-year commitments and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Stripe and PayPal are the payment processors. GTM is hybrid: SEO-optimized self-serve on the website, plus a community/affiliate layer offering 15% lifetime cash commissions for promoters. No external funding, institutional investors, or parent company are disclosed; the company is fully independent.
