This bot can send and receive emails for specific email addresses of the frei.chat domain. It is not possible to define custom domains at the moment.

Bot limitations

The sender address must follow the pattern USERNAME[SUFFIX]@frei.chat. Each user's email address must begin with the username. There is no limitation in the number of addresses per user.

Explanation of the email address:

The USERNAME value is always set to the username chosen by the user.
The value [SUFFIX] can be freely chosen by the user, provided it corresponds to the standard for email addresses.

Mail address examples:

USERNAME = Testuser

• testuser@frei.chat
• testuser**-1**@frei.chat
• testuserhallo@frei.chat

Important information for new users

If you have just created your account, it may take up to an hour for your user to be enabled to receive and send email. This happens automatically on the hour.
