Thexyz offers 15 domains[8] which users can choose from, while also allowing customers to use their own domain.[9] Users are also able to create calendars and notes in the web mail environment and sync them over the IMAP and ActiveSync protocols.[10]
Thexyz offers support for DNSSEC/DANE/SPF/DKIM/DMARC.
Technology
The site developers are among active contributors to fight Phishing, email abuse[11] and maintain an independant email blacklist.
Thexyz also provides for two-factor login using a YubiKey[12]. While associating one or more YubiKeys with a Thexyz account will not prevent normal logins, it allowed for logging on to an account with just a YubiKey and its auto-generated one-time passwords, making it suitable for accessing email on public machines.
The email service also supports the U2F and the TOTP protocol as a secondary sign-in factor, allowing users to sign in with their password and a security token as an extra security feature.
