A self-hosted email service for your own domains: mailboxes, forwarding rules, and a web inbox, on Email Routing, D1, R2, Queues, and Durable Objects. Shared inboxes require a paid Team license.

  • Create mailboxes and aliases across multiple domains
  • Send messages with attachments, rich text and signatures
  • Organize mail with folders, search, stars and snoozing
  • Forward, reject or sort incoming mail with rules
  • Back up your mailbox and import or export mail
  • Connect compatible desktop and mobile email apps through JMAP

Deploy Mailflare on Cloudflare

  1. Step 1: Set up Appflare in your Cloudflare account

    Once

    Appflare installs itself into your own Cloudflare account from your browser, and runs on the free Workers plan. Mailflare needs Workers Paid on that account. See what Mailflare needs on your account.

    Set up AppflareAlready have Appflare? Install Mailflare

  2. Step 2: Install Mailflare

    The install form asks you for:

    • Cloudflare API token for Mailflare

    It also has an optional setting you can leave for later.

    One switch on the form puts Mailflare behind Cloudflare Access, so only the people who use your Appflare can open it.

  3. Step 3: Finish setting it up

    After the install, Appflare shows three short steps for Mailflare, on its page.

With Appflare instead of by hand

  • Nothing to build on your computerAppflare sets itself up from your browser, with no API token to create and nothing to install.
  • Updates in one clickAppflare tells you when the catalog has a new version, and Update installs it.
  • Health checksAfter every install and update, Appflare checks that the app answers.
  • It stays in your own accountEverything runs on your Cloudflare account and your plan, and Appflare records what it creates, so an uninstall removes it.

Questions

Does Mailflare run on Cloudflare's free plan?

No. Mailflare needs Cloudflare's Workers Paid plan on your account. Appflare itself runs on the free plan.

What does Mailflare create in my Cloudflare account?

Appflare creates a Worker for Mailflare and the resources it uses: D1 databases, R2 buckets, Durable Object classes, queues and cron triggers. It also uses Workers AI, Images, Email Routing and a domain. Appflare records each resource it creates; an uninstall deletes them, keeping any data you choose to keep.

How do I update Mailflare?

When the catalog has a new version, Mailflare's page in Appflare says Update available. Select Update: Appflare takes a snapshot first, so you can roll back to the version before. You can also let Appflare update it automatically.

Is Mailflare open source?

Yes, under AGPL-3.0-or-later. An open-source license: you may use, change and share the app on its terms. Its source code is at github.com/hieunc229/mailflare.
