The first mail client with built-in compression and encryption.

Extra protection on top.

Foxy Mail is a fast, private macOS mail client for everyday IMAP. Protection grades risky senders and links. Trust shows what the message is doing. Identity shows who really sent it.

The first mail client with built-in compression and encryption.

Compression

Store and send compressed mails.

Foxy Mail can shrink message bodies with ZSTD before they leave your Mac. When every recipient supports Foxy Compress, outgoing mail is packed automatically — less bandwidth, less mailbox bulk, same readable message on the other side. No zip attachments, no extra steps.

On top of compression, Foxy Mail can lock the body with AES-256 when each recipient’s public key is known. Encryption rides with the compressed payload, so content stays private between Foxy users — not only on the wire to the server. Capabilities and keys are learned from mail they send you; turn it on under Settings → Outgoing.

Encryption

Send and receive encrypted mails.

Grade risky mail, see what’s inside, know who sent it.

Identity

Know who really sent it.

A display name is not proof of who sent mail. Identity lives in the Inspector: real From address and domain, Reply-To, Return-Path, and authentication signals (SPF / DKIM / DMARC from headers). Same-domain mail greys those checks as N/A when they never ran.

From & Domain
Reply-To & Return-Path
SPF / DKIM / DMARC

Protection uses HaGeZi domain lists (shared with FoxyFy DNS Filter and Foxy Browser when available) to spot listed sender and link domains. Hits raise the message grade — Clear → Review → Risky → Danger — not “Spam”.

Protection

Grade risky mail.

List-based sender & link grading.

Trust

See what the message

does not show you.

A normal-looking email can hide a different Reply-To, deceptive links, tracking hosts, or QR payloads. The Mail Inspector sidebar shows what’s really in the message so threats and spam are easier to spot.

Grade and reason
Web links
QR payloads
Attachment warnings

A clean-looking attachment can still hide something nasty. When a message with attachments is downloaded, Foxy Mail scans on your Mac with YARA (pattern language for spotting malware) plus EICAR / heuristics.

On-device YARA — patterns run locally
ZIP insides — archives are unpacked and checked
Grade escalates — hits show as Malware reasons
