A real mailbox, a real identity — and no ad scanner in between
Peopoli Mail gives you a real mailbox on your own identity. It speaks JMAP, so standard clients work; scheduled send and sender screening are built in; and your compose pulls from Contacts. It's included in paid plans — and it lives next to the rest of your presence instead of being your presence.
Gmail / Google Workspace vs Peopoli, point by point
JMAP, not a walled web client
Standard protocol, standard clients. Your mailbox is yours to point anywhere.
No ad-scanning inbox
The mail stack runs on our own infrastructure. We don't profile the content of your mail — there's no ad business to feed.
Identity beyond the inbox
The same account signs you into your profile, calendar, files and everything else.

If you want mail that isn't the product, with an identity and suite attached instead of an ad ecosystem, this is the shape of it.
