Getting Started

MailOven gives your team a catch-all email subdomain. Every email sent to anything@yourcompany.mailoven.com lands in a shared inbox — perfect for QA, staging, and integration tests.

1. Create an account

Sign up at mailoven.com/signup with your email and a password (10–128 characters). You'll receive a verification email — click the link to activate your account.

2. Claim your subdomain

After verifying, you'll be prompted to pick a slug — a short identifier for your team. This becomes your email domain:

@acme.mailoven.com

Slug rules:

• 3–62 characters
• Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
• Cannot start or end with a hyphen

Once claimed, the slug cannot be changed.

3. Start receiving emails

Send an email to any address at your subdomain:

test-signup@acme.mailoven.com
reset-password@acme.mailoven.com
notification-42@acme.mailoven.com

No setup required — every address is automatically captured.

4. Browse your inbox

Go to mailoven.com/inbox to see all addresses that have received mail. Click an address to see its emails, search by subject or body, and manage messages.

5. Invite your team

Navigate to Organization Settings → Team and invite teammates by email. They'll receive an invitation link and can join with a single click.

6. Use the API

Create an API key in Organization Settings → API Keys, then query emails programmatically:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mo_your_api_key" \
  "https://mailoven.com/api/v1/emails?to=test-signup"

See the API Reference for full details.
