Inbox#
Your space has a mail address: its name on the inbox.flows.md domain. The space @ana receives at [email protected], and everything that arrives lands in the Inbox, the space's first row in the sidebar. Only the space's owner reads the Inbox, even when the space is shared.
Aliases#
An alias is another address of the same Inbox: [email protected], [email protected]. It filters — "Received at" shows only what came through it — and gives each place you sign up to an address of its own. Create one in Addresses, in the Inbox itself: it asks only for a name (lowercase letters, digits and hyphens).
The whole address before the @ fits in 64 bytes; an alias too long for the space's name is refused, never cut short.
New senders#
A registered alias takes mail from anybody: handing out +news is asking for the newsletters. The main address, and an alias you did not register, take mail straight in only from you and from senders you approved — and only when the sender's domain vouches for it (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). Anybody else's first mail waits at the top of the Inbox itself, under New senders: kept, not counted against your plan, and nobody is answered. Right there you accept the sender (their next mail comes straight to the Inbox) or block them (their next mail is dropped).
A mail becomes a page#
"Save as page" picks the place in the sidebar's own tree. The page is born private, with the subject, the sender, the date and the mail's text. An alias can be connected to a page: from then on, what it receives is also saved there. The mail stays in the Inbox; changing the page, or going back to "filter only", leaves the pages already made where they are.
What never happens#
- Nothing arrives published: every page made from a mail is born private.
- Opening a mail does not tell the sender: outside pictures become links, and tracking pixels are gone. The original, pictures and all, opens apart, isolated, and loads pictures only when you ask.
- A mail runs nothing on your page: blocks and components written by the sender show as text.
Agents (MCP)#
A connected agent reads the Inbox only if you ticked "Read my Inbox" when connecting it. Then it searches, reads and opens attachments — verification codes and sign-in links included. Without it, it sees no mail, and no page saved from one.
