Project threads scattered across inboxes
Clients, consultants, contractors and planners all write to different people. When someone is on site, project-critical email waits.
Business email for architecture and interior design studios on your own domain. projects@, tenders@ and a mailbox per architect — 20 mailboxes and 5 domains for $19/year.
The problem
Clients, consultants, contractors and planners all write to different people. When someone is on site, project-critical email waits.
Drawings and renders fill mailboxes fast. Sending big files as attachments also causes bounces at the other end.
Studios take on interns, freelancers and project architects for short stints. Per-user plans charge for every one.
Invoice fraud targets studios and their clients. SPF, DKIM and DMARC on your domain make spoofed emails easier to detect.
Addresses that work
Create them as full mailboxes, or as aliases that deliver into an existing inbox — aliases don't use up a mailbox.
Create an alias like riverside@ that delivers into the project lead’s mailbox. Hand it to the contractor and consultants, and reassign it if the lead changes.
Make tenders@ an alias into a shared mailbox the whole bid team opens over IMAP.
Turn on a per-domain catch-all so misspelt addresses still reach the studio.
Stop paying per seat

FAQ
Email works best for documents and smaller files; most receiving servers reject very large attachments. Share large CAD or render files with a file-sharing link and use email for the conversation around them.
For email itself, 10 GB goes a long way if large drawing sets are shared by link. Archive old project mail to a local backup in your mail client if you need to free space.
Yes. Every mailbox supports IMAP and SMTP, so Outlook, Apple Mail and Thunderbird all connect directly.
