Inspiration

Managing multiple email addresses can be messy, and exposing your real address often leads to spam and privacy risks. We wanted to create a solution that gives users full control over how their emails are received, forwarded, and managed—without sacrificing simplicity or security.

What it does

UUMail lets users create and manage unlimited email aliases. It forwards emails to a user’s real inbox, protecting their primary address. Users can easily enable/disable aliases, monitor usage, and keep their real email safe from spam, leaks, and abuse.

How we built it

We built UUMail using Node.js with Fastify for the backend, and used Bolt.new to build the whole front end.

Challenges we ran into

•. Balancing user flexibility with security and simplicity. • Working around email providers’ quirks when handling forwarded mail.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Seamless alias creation and forwarding experience.
• High deliverability rates thanks to proper domain and header alignment.
• A privacy-first system that doesn’t store user emails unless explicitly needed.
• Built-in analytics and warnings when users approach their forwarding limits.

What we learned

• Email is deceptively complex—small mistakes in headers or DNS can cause major issues.
• User trust is everything when handling email—privacy and transparency are non-negotiable.
• It’s crucial to test across many mail clients and providers, as behaviors can differ widely.

What's next for uumail

• Adding reply-handling so users can send emails from aliases.
• Supporting per-alias rules and temporary addresses.
• Offering analytics on alias usage and spam filtering.
• Expanding to team/workspace features for group management.
• Mobile app and browser extension for faster alias generation.
