Getting started with Evermail
Evermail is a cloud email archive: upload an old mailbox file once, and search every message and contact from any browser — no Outlook or desktop software required. Here's how to get from zero to your first search.
Create a free account
Go to app.evermail.ai/register and sign up with email or Google. No credit card is required for the Free plan.
Upload your first archive
From the dashboard, click Upload and drag in a file. Evermail auto-detects the format — PST, OST, MBOX, EML, MSG, or a Google Takeout ZIP all work without conversion.
The Free plan accepts files up to 1 GB. See Uploading Archives for size limits on paid plans.
Choose a security level
During upload you'll pick how your archive is handled: Full Service (default, best search experience), Confidential Processing, or Zero-Access (only you can decrypt it). You can change this later per mailbox.
Full details: Security & Privacy.
Wait for processing
Evermail parses the archive, extracts every message and attachment, encrypts it, and builds a search index. A typical archive under 1 GB finishes in a few minutes; larger archives take longer. You'll see live progress on the upload page — no need to keep the tab open, you can check back later.
Start searching
Once processing finishes, open Emails in the sidebar and search by keyword, sender, date, or attachment. See Searching for query syntax, filters, and keyboard shortcuts.
