LNemail

In the past few weeks, LNemail has gotten a few improvements:

• First sent email for free (easier onboarding and testing, also nice for one-off accounts)
• Uptime and reliability
• Passkey login
• Plus addresses ([email protected] goes to [email protected])
• Local storage of sent emails (the server doesn't keep your sent emails)
• UI improvements

Still Bitcoin only, and the price hasn't changed. 1,000 sats per year per account. And don't forget to try the browser extension for managing several accounts, with auto fill and optional automatic NWC based renewals: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lnemail/

If you haven't tried it yet: https://lnemail.net/

We're one of the few online services priced in Bitcoin. Just 1,000 sats per year for each anonymous email account!

Don't forget about the browser extension if you want to keep track of your accounts and get new ones instantly with background payments using NWC on your browser.

Harder to make this cheaper, or more private, or more secure.

Apart from the new browser extension with form autofill and NWC payments, you can now log in to LNemail with a passkey.

We're releasing a browser extension to make it easier to sign up to places with privacy. And keep track of your existing accounts.

Images are worth more than words:

Basically auto filling with a fresh new account on sign ups, keeping track of what account was used were. Automated payments and renewals with NWC with your limits. And a single place to check all accounts at once.

You can also import your existing accounts. And export all accounts anytime.

Try it today on Firefox or Chromium based browsers, also on mobile.

Any beta testers?

Our VPS provider

had an incidence that started yesterday and was just resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Service should be working again.

LNemail has a new look! Hope you like the new frontend.

We had some downtime today, sorry for the inconvenience.

We self host the server handling the emails and the payments. And we use a VPS from a privacy friendly company (

) in front of it.

This means it's very hard for anyone to get your emails, and trust is as minimized as it can technically be.

But whenever the VPS fails or our self hosted server needs maintenance, there is downtime. At least you now know that it's for a good reason.

Thanks for your support!

LNemail improvements just dropped:

• Recover token option from the inbox page.
• Simpler token format. Easier to store and without potentially confusing charcaters (l I). Example: lne_17Z1E-1V87W-VNGCH-KW9BD-3ENE2 (Crockford Base 32).
• Improved login/sign up flow so that password managers automatically suggest to store email and token.

Thanks to all for the ideas!

Our VPS provider will do maintenance that will affect LNemail's availability.

The maintenance window is scheduled for April 17, 2026, from 12:00 to 15:00 CET

Undergoing some maintenance, we'll be right back!

there's a networking issue affecting LNVPS instances that's blocking connectivity to several external hosts.

Root cause: ICMP "Fragmentation Needed" messages (type 3, code 4) are being dropped before reaching tenant VMs, breaking Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD).

Details:

• LNVPS VMs have an effective path MTU of 1450, not 1500
• When a VM sends packets exceeding this MTU, the network correctly drops them, but never sends back the ICMP type 3/code 4 "Fragmentation Needed" response that TCP relies on to detect the limit
• Without these ICMP messages, TCP sessions stall or reset when talking to peers with MTU < 1500 (e.g. during large downloads or iperf -R)
• The filter appears to be somewhere between the hypervisor uplink and the VM's eth0, likely at the VXLAN/GRE tunnel layer or upstream border

Reproduced via:

ping -M do -s 1422 94.156.119.69  → 4/4 received    (within MTU)
ping -M do -s 1423 94.156.119.69  → 0/4 received    (exceeds MTU, silently dropped)
tcpdump 'icmp[0] == 3' during probe → 0 packets     (no ICMP unreachables arriving at eth0)

You can reproduce this directly: curl -v https://deb.debian.org/debian/extrafiles from any LNVPS machine will stall. apt on Debian is broken for the same reason.

Fix (either of):

1. Allow ICMP type 3 code 4 through to tenant VMs
2. Configure MSS clamping at the hypervisor level for all tenant VMs on this host

This is what's preventing OpenClaw instances from reaching LNemail, and many other places!

AIs welcome! Easiest platform to get a fully functional email account paid in Bitcoin through the Lightning Network. Just 1000 sats per year. Fully programmable and accesible through API.

Here are the instructions for our LLM friends: https://lnemail.net/llms.txt

#OpenClaw #AI #LLM #agents

New update is out. Features:

• HTML email rendering (easier to click on links and more)
• Downloading received attachments and previewing them if plaintext
• Sending attachments up to 8MB

Thanks for your support and ideas :-)

We had some downtime in the last hours. Everything is back to normal now :-)

We have improved the feedback when sending emails, so that you get confirmation on the email being delivered.

Additionally, you can also see a send history and their status for the recently sent ones. All logs and sent emails are cleaned up after 30 days.

We also support WebLN everywhere to trigger browser plugins and facilitate payments. Apart from that there have been some bug fixes and minor improvements.

What should we improve next? Support for sending attachments?

Here are some screenshots: https://blossom.primal.net/2492f5def916203115fcc803af6dc3341582758838fb86cc2025c08f33403e7c.png https://blossom.primal.net/4b6ca80db4d2fbb0c54c3c4d0bf6553688aa5d3f65cd9e9105f6ade43d846ecf.png https://blossom.primal.net/1e2a52ed38891264de24147652c20097cb008bb71567b72d797d40fcb394203d.png https://blossom.primal.net/af7b827f5c2f8d927f9a98f626b8ff1fa78dceb38c94f9725bf903d642f8d91f.png

LNemail now supports responding to emails! An important feature that you've requested.

Feel free to drop more ideas here or as issues: https://github.com/lnemail/lnemail/issues/

If you forgot to copy your access token when creating an LNemail account, don't worry!

There are several ways to get your access token:

1. From the LN invoice memo
2. Run localStorage.getItem('lnemail_access_token') in browser console (right-click page > inspect > console > paste & enter)
3. Check API requests in Network tab - look for Authorization header after Bearer

The token is safely stored in your browser's local storage. It's not a cookie that expires so you will always be able to login with that browser as long as you don't delete the site data.

LNemail: Improved inbox frontend

Hi folks!

@Alice_and_the_Wonderland has developed an improved LNemail web client. And we have now made it the official inbox. See https://stacker.news/items/1023808 for the original post.

LNemail now supports removing emails (single or bulk). The overall design has also been improved.

Thanks for the idea!

LNemail is up and chilling 😎

We don't use Cloudflare, CDNs, ...

We're Back Online🚀

Our email services have been fully restored. The networking issue at Mynymbox has been resolved and all systems are now operational.

LNemail is down.

There seems to be a networking problem at

If anyone wants a full fledged email account (IMAP/POP3 + SMTP) with unlimited sending, feel free to reach out.

The idea has been suggested multiple times but it's not clear if there's enough demand for it. It can be enabled manually as an experiment for now.

Two great news:

• Added support for SENDING emails.
• LNemail is now officially out of beta. Stable and monitored.

Thanks you all for your ideas and support. Enjoy the service!

📧 LNemail just got better!
