How to claim your sift handle

Claim name@sift.mx, verify a destination inbox, set your cover, and start sharing one handle for email and chat.

Definition

A sift handle is your public identity on sift.mx—typically name@sift.mx—used for paid-attention email and member chat.

Create the account

Sign in at sift.mx, choose an available handle, and complete setup. Creating the handle is free.

Connect a private inbox

Verify the destination where approved email should land. That address stays off your public profile and off sender-facing headers.

Set covers and trusted contacts

Pick a cover for email and for chat, then whitelist people who should always get through. Share the handle wherever you used to share a raw email or open DM link.

Next steps

Ready when you are.

Put a price on stranger access. Keep the people you trust free.
