Overview
Mailifide is a toolkit for the Mail app on your Mac. If several accounts, aliases or catch-all addresses land in one inbox, account tags color or flag each new message by the address it was actually delivered to, so you can see at a glance what came in for Work, Personal or a side project.
Tags match exact addresses or whole domains, and use the delivery headers, so forwarded mail is tagged by its real destination. Mailifide suggests addresses your mail has been delivered to, and you can import your own addresses from Contacts. Account tags are free and unlimited.
Scam Shield is an optional subscription that checks new mail for phishing: failed sender verification (SPF, DKIM and DMARC), fake display names, lookalike domains, links that go somewhere other than they say, and brand-new domains. On a Mac with Apple Intelligence, on-device AI also reads the message for scam tactics. A warning banner with the details appears right inside Mail.
Mailifide is private by design. There is no account, no analytics, no tracking and no ads. Messages are read and analysed on your Mac and are never uploaded. Mailifide helps you spot scams but cannot guarantee to catch every one.
