FAQ

What is email4.life?

Email4.life is a lifetime email forwarding service that ensures you always have a permanent, professional, and portable email identity—regardless of job changes, domain shifts, or personal transitions.

How does email forwarding work?

When someone emails your email4.life address, we instantly forward it to your preferred inbox (Gmail, Outlook, ProtonMail, etc.). You can update your forwarding destination anytime. When replying to this message, your email's headers will be rewritten showing your email4.life address instead of your preferred inbox address, and then sent on to the original sender.

Is this a full email service like Gmail or Outlook?

No, email4.life is a forwarding service, meaning we don’t store or host your emails. Instead, we relay emails to your chosen inbox while keeping your real email address private—so the sender never knows (or needs to know) where your emails actually go.

How do I reply to emails sent to my email4.life address?

It’s simple—just hit reply like you normally would! Email4.life automatically ensures that your email4.life address remains the only one visible to the sender. You don’t need to manually change anything in your email settings—your contacts will only ever see and use your email4.life address, keeping your real inbox private and your communication seamless.

Can I send emails from my email4.life address?

Yes! We provide you access to our outgoing SMTP server to create new messages with your email4.life address.

Can I reserve a specific email address?

Yes! Early access members get priority in choosing their ideal email address before it becomes available to the public. The current domains being offered are:

@work.email4.life
@pro.email4.life

Why would I need a lifelong email address?

1. Your work email disappears when you leave a company.
2. Personal email accounts get cluttered or outdated.
3. You want a professional, permanent identity that stays the same for networking, resumes, and contacts—just like your phone number.

Can I change where my emails are forwarded?

Yes! You can update your forwarding address anytime to keep receiving messages at your preferred inbox.

Is email4.life secure?

Yes! We use end-to-end encryption for forwarding, DKIM, SPF, and DMARC for authentication, and we only hold your message while we reformat it and forward it on.

Will you read or store my emails?

No, we do not store or read your email. During forwarding process, we must parse and rewrite portions of your email to keep your real email address private. During this time, we gather and store simple metrics for your own use and to ensure that users are not abusing the system (example: spamming others). We do not retain your email.

Do you protect against spam?

Yes! We leverage AWS advanced filtering to prevent spam, virus, and phishing emails from being forwarded.

How much does email4.life cost?

During Early Access, the service is absolutely free! After Early Access, we will be offering affordable monthly and annual plans with pricing that ensures long-term sustainability.

What happens if I stop paying?

If your subscription lapses, your email4life email address will be placed on hold for a grace period. After that, it may become available for someone else to claim.

How do I join Early Access?

Simply sign up with your name and email! Early access may be limited, so reserve your spot now. Regular usage of the service will be required to retain your account during the Early Access period.

When will the service launch?

We are currently rolling out early access. Joining the waitlist ensures you’ll be among the first to secure your email4.life address.
