General

What is an emoji email address?

An emoji email address is just like any other email address.

But, instead of ending in @gmail.com, or @outlook.com - emoji email addresses end with emojis, like @🚀.kz, @⚔️.gg, or @🍍.fm.

This means you can have email addresses like:

How do emoji email addresses work?

When you get a Mailoji, you can use it to forward any email to your regular email address.

For example, if your name was Bob, you could get the emoji email address bob@⚔️.gg, and connect it to your regular email address bobsmith17@gmail.com.

Now, whenever someone sends an email address to bob@⚔️.gg, it would get forwarded to Bob's Gmail inbox.

Bob could then reply using his regular email address in Gmail.

How do I connect an emoji email address to my email address?

Connecting an email address to your emoji email address is simple.

Once you've purchased a Mailoji, head on over to your account page.

In the forwarding section, enter the email address you want to receive emails to whenever somebody sends an email to your emoji email address.

How are emoji email addresses different to normal addresses?

Emoji email addresses work exactly the same as normal email addresses.

But, emoji email addresses can have emojis anywhere in the email address, regular email addresses can't.

What can't I do with an emoji email address?

Currently you are unable to send email directly from your emoji email address. When an email gets sent to your emoji email address, it gets forwarded to your inbox, and you can reply using your usual email address and email client.

Emoji email addresses are brand new, so there are some places on the internet that haven't caught up with them yet.

Some website forms or email clients may not accept emoji email addresses.

Emails with attachments sent to Mailojis will not be forwarded.

Do you read my emails?

Never.

Mailoji is an email forwarder, we never read your emails.

Emails sent to your emoji email address are forwarded straight to your inbox.

Do you use my data for any third-party marketing?

No.

Mailoji does not sell or use your data with any third-party marketing websites.

Who operates Mailoji?

Mailoji was created by Ben Stokes, a.k.a Tiny Projects.

Emojis

I can't find the emoji I want, do you have it?

Although Mailoji owns one of the largest collection of emoji domains on the internet, we do not own every emoji domain.

If you can't find the emoji you want, then we probably don't have it.

It's always worth getting in contact in case we can try and get it for you.

Can I use emojis/special characters in the email handle?

Yes!

As of 12/05/2021, you can now have emojis anywhere in an emoji email address, e.g:

How do emoji email addresses work technically?

Domain names like amazon.com, or twitter.com, can be used in email addresses.

But, did you know there are also emoji domains?

Mailoji is built on top of emoji domains, allowing you to have emoji email addresses.

Emails

How do I receive email sent to my emoji email address?

Connecting an email address to your emoji email address is simple.

Once you've purchased a Mailoji, head on over to your account page.

In the forwarding section, enter the email address you'd like to receive emails to whenever somebody sends an email to your emoji email address.

Can I send email from my emoji email address?

You currently can't send email directly from your emoji email address.

We are working on a sending feature, and all purchased Mailojis will have access to it once its released.

Instead, emails sent to your emoji email address are forwarded to your regular email address.

You can then reply to emails using your normal email client & email address.

For example, if your name was Bob, you could get the emoji email address bob@⚔️.gg, and connect it to your regular email address bobsmith17@gmail.com.

Now, whenever someone sends an email address to bob@⚔️.gg, it would get forwarded to Bob's Gmail inbox.

Bob could then reply using his regular email address in Gmail.

What email clients do emoji email addresses work with?

All email clients support receiving email from emoji email addresses.

Sending emails to emoji email addresses is supported by Gmail on desktop and iOS mail. Although this covers almost 80% of total email clients, we are working hard to get more email clients on board with sending to emoji email addresses.

Emoji Domains

Can I get a .com emoji email address?

Unfortunately .com domains no longer support emojis.

There exist some ancient .com emoji domains, but Mailoji does not own them.

If you own a .com emoji domain, we'd be very interested to chat.

What does .gg, .fm, .kz, .to, .je, .ws mean?

These are top level domains, just like .com, .net, or .io.

Only 10 top level domains support emojis. We use emoji domains from:

  • .gg: Guernsey
  • .to: Tonga
  • .kz: Kazakhstan
  • .fm: Federated States of Micronesia
  • .je: Jersey
  • .ws: Western Samoa

My email client isn't letting me send email to my Mailoji.
