Best for a French mailbox with a small free plan
Mailo is a French mailbox, free with 1GB of storage and banner ads, and Premium is €1.50 a month for 20GB with no ads. Free accounts are deleted after 12 months of inactivity. Premium is sold for terms of 1 to 5 years.
Who Mailo is for
- Fits if you want a free mailbox hosted in France, with IMAP
- Works for people who'll pay for a multi-year term to remove ads
Who Mailo is not for
- Skip it if banner ads bother you, as free accounts show them
- Watch out: free accounts are deleted after 12 months of inactivity
- Watch out: Premium is sold for 1 to 5 years, and the billing basis of the monthly price isn't stated
- Tight if you stay free: 1GB mailbox and 5 aliases
- Watch out: larger Premium+ mailboxes and Mailo Pro are priced on pages not read, and prices are in euros

Keep Mailo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Mailo you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 55 of the 70 other email apps we grade. It costs $20.11 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Mailo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
