Getting Started
Welcome to Delivr! This guide is for users of a Delivr instance. If you're setting up your own server, start with Self-Hosting.
Sign in
Open your instance's address — for example https://mail.example.com — and sign in with the username and password your administrator gave you.
After your first sign-in, change your password under Settings → Security.
Onboarding
On your first visit, Delivr asks a few quick questions so the app behaves the way you like:
- Auto-mark as read — mark emails as read shortly after you open them.
- Nest folders under Inbox — show sub-folders of the Inbox beneath it, or list them at the top level.
- Drag-and-drop folders — reorganize your folders by dragging them in the sidebar.
You can skip this and change everything later under Settings → Preferences.
Connect a mailbox
Delivr connects to your existing email account — it doesn't give you a new address.
Add the account
Go to Settings → Manage Mail Accounts and add a new account.
Enter the server settings
You'll need the IMAP (incoming) and SMTP (outgoing) server, port, encryption, username, and password. Most providers use your full email address as the username. The Mail Provider Settings page lists the values for popular providers.
Confirm your special folders
Delivr detects your Sent, Drafts, Trash, Spam, and Archive folders and asks you to confirm them. This tells Delivr where to file sent mail, save drafts, and move deleted messages.
Check your sender identity
Delivr creates a default sender identity from the account's address. Add more addresses and signatures any time — see Identities & signatures.
Your inbox opens. Add as many accounts as you like and switch between them from the sidebar.
Install Delivr as an app
Delivr is a Progressive Web App. Installed, it opens in its own window without browser bars, appears in your app launcher, and updates itself automatically.
- Open your Delivr instance.
- Click the install icon at the right end of the address bar, or open the menu and choose Install Delivr (Edge: Apps → Install this site as an app).
- Confirm with Install.
- Open your Delivr instance in Chrome.
- Tap the ⋮ menu.
- Choose Install app or Add to Home screen.
- Open your Delivr instance in Safari.
