The job
Receive client mail, keep a searchable archive, protect attention, look professional on a custom domain.
Working recommendation (v0)
- Default: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 on your domain if you already live in that ecosystem
- Privacy / less Google: Fastmail (or similar) with simple aliases
- Avoid early: “smart inbox” products that hide mail you need for money and legal
Briggs ops note
Labels beat clever AI sorting for money-critical mail. Start with Action / Customers / Finance / Vendors / Legal.
