About Pobox
Our Mission
Email is something people use every day. They count on it for work, their social schedule, to buy and sell stuff, send pictures, almost anything you can think of. Yet, by and large, they get their mailboxes from people who specialize in everything but email. ISPs are selling Internet connections. Free accounts are selling advertising. School and business addresses become obsolete when you graduate or change jobs.
At Pobox, we're all about email. We strive to solve your email problems. Have a question? We'll do our best to help, even if the problem isn't with us.
Our Story
In 1995, Pobox founder Meng Wong anticipated a problem for his brand-new upenn.edu email address. What was he going to do when he graduated? His postal mail would be forwarded wherever he went; why couldn't his email work the same way?
Pobox.com was based on the idea of a lifetime email address, and found a loyal following immediately. All our additional services have grown out of customer requests - as their needs change, we seek to change with them.
