Try it: mark a few places Done or Ignore.

Changing your email is easy. Updating everything that still uses the old one isn’t.

The bank, the energy company, the shop you bought from once, your aunt. Nobody remembers them all, so the old mailbox stays open “just in case”.

Then you have to keep checking it. MailHandover checks it for you and turns months of stray mail into a short list of places to update.

How it works

Three steps, then we keep watching.

01

Connect your old mailbox

Point MailHandover at the address you’re leaving. From then on, it watches every email that arrives there.

02

Work through your places

Instead of an inbox, you get a list of the people and businesses that have written. Update your details with each one, then mark it Done, or Ignore it if you don’t care.

03

We keep watching

If a place you marked Done writes to the old address again, it comes back as a reflag. Places you ignored stay quiet.

Not another inbox.

A list of places, not a pile of emails Forty emails from one shop show up as one line. What you’re deciding is who still has your old address.
You make the change, we check it stuck You still update your details with the bank, the shop or the person. MailHandover tells you who to contact and flags anyone who didn’t get the message.
Stop checking the old account Keep the old mailbox open for as long as you need, without having to log in to it.

For whatever made you switch.

Questions

Is MailHandover an email client?

No. You won’t read or reply to mail here. It shows who has written to your old address so you can give them the new one.

What counts as a place?

A place is a person or business that has emailed your old address. However many emails they send, they appear as one place.

What happens when I mark a place Done?

It moves off your list, and we keep watching. If that place writes to the old address again, it comes back as a reflag so you know the change didn’t stick.

What does Ignore do?

Ignored places stay quiet. It’s for newsletters and anything else you don’t need to update.

Do I still have to update my details myself?

Yes. You still change your email with each bank, shop or person. MailHandover tells you who to contact and checks that it worked.

Let the old inbox retire.

Connect it once. We’ll tell you who still needs your new address.
