// General

Is this a real email service or just a joke?

Yes, [@fuck.it] is 100% real - and it’s very serious about privacy, security and of course attitude. It’s powered by enterprise-grade infrastructure from Open-Xchange (OX), runs on geo-redundant, ISO 27001 certified servers in Germany and complies with GDPR - some of the strictest privacy laws on the planet. No gimmicks, no bullshit. Just a bold, secure inbox with edge - featuring built-in at-rest encryption and optional end-to-end encryption for those who want maximum control.

Why should I use [@fuck.it] instead of Gmail or Outlook?

Because we don’t scan your emails, sell your data or shove ads in your face. Also, do you really want an email like john12345@gmail.com when you could be john@fuck.it?

How do I get a [@fuck.it] email?

[@fuck.it] is invite-only. If you know someone with an account, ask them to invite you. Otherwise, keep an eye out for limited releases or Request an Invite

How does the invitation system work?

Every new account gets a limited number of invite codes. These invite codes allow friends to join [@fuck.it]. If you decide to revoke an invitation, the issued link and code will be invalid and you’ll regain one invite slot. The invited person will not be notified about the revocation.

Can I choose any email address I want?

Mostly. Standard usernames are included in your plan, but premium usernames cost extra. Premium usernames include:

Check the signup process to see if your desired username is premium and available. VIEW PREMIUM OPTIONS

How much does it cost?

We offer three plans:

No free tier. Because free = you are the product.
All prices include taxes already – no surprises at checkout.

Will you ever allow free accounts?

Hell no. Free email services survive by selling your data and flood you with ads. We don’t play that game.

What kind of support do you offer?

Real humans, no chat-bots. We aim to answer every ticket within 24 hours (APEX users jump the queue with priority support). Contact our support team by email support@fuck.it or use our [support form].

Who’s behind this?

A bunch of people who got tired of how email works, said fuck it and decided to fix it so that you will love it.

// Security & Privacy

Do you support encryption?

Yes. All connections are protected with TLS in transit and your data is also encrypted at rest on our servers. On selected plans, we offer OX Guard - which enables end-to-end encryption for your email, attachments and Drive content. You may also use your own PGP keys if you prefer full manual control.

Is my email secure?

Yes. On top of encryption we use state of the art anti-spam and anti-phishing tech. No ads, no tracking, no BS.

Where is my data stored?

Your data is hosted in ISO 27001 certified data centers in Germany, protected under GDPR and backed by geo-redundant systems for reliability.

How secure is this platform, really?

Your data is backed by Open-Xchange infrastructure which meets ISO 27001 certification standards, supports geo-redundant hosting and complies with GDPR. You also get TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest and optional end-to-end encryption with OX Guard.

Do you support two-factor authentication (2FA)?

Hell yes. Flip on TOTP in Settings ⯈ Security and pair any authenticator app (Aegis, Authy, Google Authenticator - your call). Hardware keys via WebAuthn are on our roadmap.

Do you store logs of my emails?

Nope. We don't store logs or metadata of your emails. Your privacy is paramount and we believe in keeping your communications strictly between you and your recipients.

Where are your servers located?

Our servers are based in Germany, benefiting from strong privacy laws.

What’s the difference between Guard and Advanced Security?

OX Guard gives you PGP-based encryption for mail and Drive. OX Advanced Security (part of our APEX plan) layers in Safe Unsubscribe and Time-of-Click anti-phishing, powered by Vade Secure.

How does your “Advanced Security” differ from the standard spam filter?

All plans already include industry-grade spam and virus filtering. Advanced Security adds Vade Secure’s AI engine for deeper analysis, “time-of-click” URL scanning and one-click Safe Unsubscribe, giving you business-class protection without the complexity.

What happens if my account gets suspended?

Contact our support team to resolve the issue. Repeated violations may lead to permanent suspension.

How do I report spam or abuse?

Use the "Report" feature in your inbox or contact support directly.

How do I submit a DMCA takedown request?

Email our legal team with all necessary details at dmca@fuck.it or use our support form [here].

// Features & Usability

What’s included in my account?

Every account includes webmail access, IMAP/POP3/SMTP support, premium usernames (if selected) and encrypted, ad-free inbox access. Depending on your plan, you may also get:

Can I store and share files?

Yes. With OX Drive (available on supported plans), you can securely store, manage and share your files. Everything is encrypted and nothing gets scanned or sold. It’s your private locker in the cloud.

Is there a built-in office suite?

Absolutely. You can create and edit text documents, spreadsheets and presentations directly in your browser using OX Documents. No need for external software.

Do you support Tasks & Calendars?

Yup. OX Tasks and OX Calendar are included on all plans - so you can track to-dos, share calendars and sync across devices without bolting on a third-party service.

What’s the maximum attachment size?

All plans share the same platform limits: 30 MB per e-mail / 25 MB per attachment. Need to blast a 4 K video? Use Drive Mail - it swaps the file for a 1 GB download link.

Can I use my [@fuck.it] email on my phone or mail apps?

Yes. We support IMAP, POP3 and SMTP, so you can use it with any email client (Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, etc.). There is also a webmail interface that you can use in any browser.

Can I connect my old Gmail, Outlook.com or other inboxes?

Yep! Use "Add e-mail account" inside Settings ⯈ Mail and log in with your Gmail, Outlook.com or other IMAP/POP credentials. All folders from that account appear in your sidebar and if you enable "Unified Mail", new messages roll straight into one blended inbox.

Do you offer aliases or temporary burner addresses?

Yes. We support “+” addressing, so any email sent to username+anything@fuck.it is delivered to username@fuck.it. Use these on-the-fly aliases for sign-ups or filters without creating extra mailboxes.

Will there be a [@fuck.it] mobile app?

Yes. We're developing apps for both iOS and Android. Stay tuned for updates.

Which email clients work with [@fuck.it]?

Anything that speaks IMAP/SMTP. Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, K-9 Mail - even mutt if you’re old-school. Webmail is there when you need it, but you’re never locked in.

Do you plan to offer custom domain support?

No.

Are there any system limits I should know about?

Yes. To keep performance predictable for everyone we cap certain items (e.g. 30 MB max mail size, 50 aliases, 200 k messages per mailbox, etc.). You can find the full table of limitations in our Terms of Service.

What’s your refund policy?

We offer a 14-day refund policy, but it’s not a free trial. Refunds are granted only for valid reasons, like technical failures preventing normal use.

Plans are month-to-month. Slide up or down whenever you like and we’ll prorate the difference automatically at the next billing cycle. No exit fees, no hostage drama.
