With big email providers you don't own your data!
- They can sell it to the highest bidder.
- They can keep it when you close your account.
- They can choose to stop the service any time and your data is lost.
Get your privacy back with DMAILS

Really cool concept, execution will definitely be the hardest part. BTW as a designer, your logo on your site is really low resolution, just some feedback I judge the professionalism of a site by the quality of its design ;)

@christopher_lee4 Thank you so much ... I believe that any user may evaluate any App from what he sees (UI/UX prospective ) ... and this is very important, in the next phase we will take care more about UI and UX elements, at the first phase the biggest challenge was to proof the possibility of sending and receiving emails with the new concept ...
Christopher Lee
@mabdou No worries! Glad I could help. By the way seeing as you just launched I have a market research service where for $12 you can ask 100 people a question then follow-up based on how they answered and even interview them! https://scoops.io/ You could ask e.g. "Would you ditch gmail for an email service that wasn't owned by a company, and was much more secure and private?" Anyway If you want to give it a shot feel free to sign up and let me know which email you used over Intercom and I'll pass you $12 in free credits. Best of luck otherwise!

Not trying to ruin the mood, but you are violating multiple international trademarks with "dmail". Especially while working with electronical communication. Multiple of these are owned by my former work acquaintance.
Mohamed Abdou
@marvinpoo Thanks for reaching out .. "D" comes from a decentralised" and it is not related to any electronically communication ... it is about email service provider.
Marvin Borisch
@blockcred that's not the point. the trademark is "Dmail" and "dmail", both with and without logo and are secured for digital communication services such as E-Mails.

Hello Product Hunt, we are so excited to be here We started Dmail with the vision of creating a decentralized email service to help people to keep their privacy. With big email providers, you don't own your data! - They can sell it to the highest bidder. - Their engineers can read your emails. - They can keep it when you close your account. - They can choose to stop the service any time and your data is lost. If you want to control and own your data, Dmail is what you are looking for. What is Dmail? A decentralized email service that puts you in control of your own data. Dmail Features: 1- An identity, not an account: Your emails belong to your identity, not an account that central authorities own and control. 2- Decentralized service: No one can shut the service down. Not even us! 3- Control your data storage: Your emails are encrypted and you decide where to store them. 4- Complete privacy: No one can see your emails except those you allow. 5- Security without a hassle: Easy to use with friendly and fun visual. 6- No more spam: Marketing companies don't have access to your data so they will not spam your inbox. Why use an identity instead of an account? When you create an old fashioned account you are giving away your data to the providers and they can do whatever they want with it. In Dmail, you create an identity which owns all the data and Dmail is just an app you use to perform tasks (send and receive emails) with your data. Beta Version is live NOW Looking forward to hearing your feedback and making Dmail better.

@blockcred Creating an account worked for me. Pros: I love the privacy, security, decentralization of this product/service. Cons: You need to build a network of uses who also use this service. You cannot email just anyone. I look forward to further developments. Good luck!
Mohamed Abdou
@david_grills Thank you so much ... yes you are absolutely right .. and this is why we came here on product hunt ... to let the community knows about it and go bigger ... Thanks again for your support

Good day, Dmail team, I was wondering if it is possible now to make the transition to the Personal Plan and send/receive mails from regular email addresses so I can fully make the transition to this service. It looks really incredible! I hope your answer could be soon. Congratulations, thanks and hope you have a good day! Now the last was a mail that I sent to Dmail through Dmail, and I still don't get an answer, which is fun. So I suggest to be consecuent with your own product haha. Anyways, I still hope your answer and, still, looks really incredible, good job! <3
Mohamed Abdou
@nicolas_v_villarreal it is an easy way ... please refer to our documentation https://docs.dmails.io .. you will get a full information about how to create your personal account and send to @ address. Thanks
Matthew John
Looks like a decent product. However, when you go to sign up and create a new username, you have to skip the step to create a new user id because it says 'unable to check availability'. So it is unable to check if that username is available? Maybe this is how you intended, but that stopped me from signing up right there.. Good luck with it.
Mohamed Abdou
@matthew_john4 Thanks for sharing your feedback. You can goto https://www.app.dmail.online Click "Continue With Blockstack" and proceed the registration process Let me know if you have any troubles Thanks
Rapha Sierra
I wasn't able to send emails to normal @ addresses. I created a dmail personal account, using a password and without my BlockStack Id. Now, I am not able to login using only the dmail personal account. Please kindly advise.
Mohamed Abdou
@rapha_sierra once you created your Dmails ID .. you need to wait up to 24 hours for your ID to be propagated into the network, please try to login again with your dmails ID ... if you still facing any issue, please send us a full details with some screenshots so we can help you ... Email us at info@dmail.online ...Thanks
Rapha Sierra
@dmail @mabdou question: why do you require your own login identification to send normal emails? why isn't Blockstack's enough? Thank you, I'll try again today.
Mohamed Abdou
@dmail @rapha_sierra sending to normal emails is a feature of the personal account, you can use Dmail with full features with your blockstack ID, but you need to use the account type (personal) to be able to send to normal emails, personal account based on Dmail IDs which is built using blockstack BNS , so, your Dmail ID will be yourName.dmails.id ... you can create it easily from our portal ... please refer to our documentations
Islam El-Ashi
Love the concept. Is there a white paper or some technical document that explains how the service works?

I love it. I have been looking forward to a blockchain based email provider for a long time. I can't wait to try this one out.
Dorothy_Phillips
Wow this is cool. I had never thought of using blockchain technology with email. It makes total sense though. Great work!
Fadi Abdelqader
great idea but there are two problems should be solved before launching the first one is the ability to send to any normal email address the second is to have a normal address so we can receive emails from any other email services so it must be compatible with current emails systems. take IPv4 and IPv6 as an example. good luck

Please let me know your email on how can I contact you dmail. Please dm me on telegram @kenberey. As well the website of Dmail thank you.

"The Company can and will only disclose the required information we have; we will not be able to provide any personal information related to your activities over Dmails as we don't have access to it." this is part of the privacy policy I need to understand what are the limits of information that you have access to and can disclose when asked to and to what extent it can compromise my privacy @mabdou
Mohamed Abdou
@walid_sakr Thanks for asking ... the limit is what Blockstack makes public of your info like your name , your ID and your social media connection in case you verified it and make it public, otherwise, we don't have the ability to show anything.
Martin Viller
Decentralize all things comes true. Some time ago I couldn't even think of decentralized email and now I can use it. https://utopia.fans/networks/dec... On the one hand, nothing serious is stored in email, but on the other hand, all website accesses can be stolen from there.So I prefer to be as much secured as I can.
Denis Shershnev
Congratulations on the lunch @mabdou ! Awesome idea. Good luck!
Joshua Granath
I am not too much expert in this, but I liked the idea of decentralization, I liked the concept of no one can access my private emails. Keep going
Charlie Tomholt

Once it will be completed, a lot of people will depend on it definitely.

Pros:

Emails totally encrypted & easy to use

Cons:

Emails are very secured. Need more email features

Jeremy Derrick

This is a great product comes from the future

Pros:

Secured Emails. Easy to communicate with it

Cons:

Need different ID formats, it . will enable corporates to use it. Need UI/UX enhancement. Not popular yet.

Thomas Brownlee
I liked the privacy in this, but why I didn’t see reply option in the email I got?
Mohamed Abdou
@thomasbrownlee Thanks for testing the service, reply option will be available on the next release ... stay tuned
