  1. Log into your Skiff Mail account from https://app.skiff.com/mail
  2. Click settings, then select “Custom domains” (or, visit https://app.skiff.com/mail?settingTab=custom+domains if you are already logged in).
  3. Now, you can choose between transferring an existing domain you own, or purchasing a new domain
  4. If you are transferring a domain, click “configure domain” and enter your domain details.

How to add aliases

Having multiple aliases is a game changer for your privacy online.
  1. To add aliases, go to “Settings” and select “Aliases” (or, visit https://app.skiff.com/mail?settingTab=aliases).
  2. Select your new custom domain from the custom domain dropdown in the top right (your domain must be verified).
  3. Add a new alias and specify the email address you’d like to use.
That’s it!

How to use a custom domain privately

Using a custom domain helps you own your identity online. On Skiff Mail, custom domains and aliases can also help organize your inbox and protect your identity.
  1. All incoming mail is automatically end-to-end encrypted - including email subject, content, and headers - meaning only you can access your data.
  2. Emails are sorted into alias inboxes, helping you manage different accounts and email addresses.
  3. You can add unlimited aliases on your custom domain!

How to share aliases with your team

On Skiff Mail, you can also share your domain with more users, making sure you and your team all benefit from privacy-first collaboration and communication:
  1. To share another team member, visit the “Organization” settings page https://app.skiff.com/mail?settingTab=organization
  2. Click “Add members” and provision or share a new organization member
  3. You can then add a custom domain alias for any provisioned member
  4. Or, for any existing member, click on their user profile from the Organization settings page and manually add an additional alias

Upgrading for more custom domains

Sometimes, one custom domain isn’t enough. On Skiff’s paid plans, you can add up to 15 custom domains and unlimited aliases to every domain!
  1. Go to “Settings and select “Plans.”
  2. Upgrade to your desired plan, or see our Pricing page for all features
  3. Start adding more custom domains, more users, and more aliases!
