Gandi launches standalone mailbox service
An agile, scalable solution for professionals and businesses looking for a high-performance, secure email solution.
Paris, February 6, 2025 – Gandi.net, the French domain name registrar, web hosting, email solutions and SSL certificates specialist, announces the launch of a new mailbox offer that is separate from the purchase of a domain name.
Aimed at professionals and companies, this offer allows them to have mailboxes hosted in France, to manage temporary mailboxes (for example, as part of a short-term contract or a one-off event), or to guarantee users of a mail service that they have total control over their data and the content of their mailboxes. This is true whether they have a domain name with Gandi, or whether the domain name they wish to use with these mailboxes is registered with another registrar.
‘The email inbox is more than ever at the center of our online identity, as it is often the preferred means to regain access to services and data’, said Arnaud Franquinet, CEO of Gandi. ‘But this mailbox is also a point of vulnerability for our online security. Gandi.net has therefore designed email as an autonomous service that is independent of the domain name, offering its users greater control and flexibility.”
With the ambition to develop the mailbox as a powerful, secure and independent product, Gandi has equipped it with features that allow it to be used professionally:
- maintain authentication even during redirection, for improved deliverability, with the Sender Rewriting Scheme functionality.
- the possibility of recovering messages that have been accidentally deleted (2nd chance recovery)
- regular backups so that no information is lost even if a server goes down
- 10GB capacity for standard boxes, which can be temporarily increased to 50GB if needed
If you wish to migrate the contents of your email to your Gandi Mailbox, you can use a tool dedicated to this operation: https://gmi.gandi.net/
