📖 What is MailGo?
MailGo Cloud Inbox is a free, open-source email service that lets you generate permanent email addresses instantly — no registration, no password, no hassle. Built for developers, testers, and privacy-conscious users who want full control over their email infrastructure.
Unlike services like Mailinator or Temp Mail, MailGo runs entirely on your own server. Your emails never touch third-party infrastructure. You own everything.
🏗️ How It Works
MailGo combines four powerful components:
- Frontend — Vite-powered web app with glassmorphism UI
- API (FastAPI) — RESTful endpoints for email generation, retrieval, and deletion
- Backend (Gunicorn + Uvicorn) — Python async worker handling all requests
- MongoDB — Persistent storage for all email data
- Postfix + Custom Pipe — Real email delivery directly into your inbox
When you generate an address like alex.1234@mailgo.my.id, anyone can send email to it. The Postfix pipe captures incoming messages and stores them in MongoDB — ready for you to read via the web interface or API.
