Every account gets a personal send-to address on the Tuck ingest domain. Send or forward an email to that address and it lands in your Tuck ingest mailbox. An unlocked device pulls the message into your vault and then acknowledges it so the hosted ingest service can delete the full inbound body. Tuck also keeps a raw copy of each email for 7 days, so a delivery that fails can be tried again.

Choose who can send to your address

Tuck keeps mail sent from your account email or from an extra address you’ve added and confirmed. Mail from anyone else is dropped, and no reply goes out.
  1. Open Settings → Account and find Send To. Your address and who may send to it are listed there.
  2. Add another address you send from. You can add up to 5.
  3. Open the confirmation link Tuck emails to that address. The link works for 24 hours, and you don’t need to be signed in to use it.

If the confirmation email doesn’t arrive, wait a minute and choose Send again. You can remove an address at any time.
Automatic forwarding rules keep the original sender’s address, so that mail is dropped unless the original sender is one of your added addresses. Forwarding a message by hand from your own inbox works.
Tuck also checks that the email passed its sending domain’s authentication. Mail is kept when it passes DMARC for the sender’s domain or, for a domain with no DMARC record, when it carries a valid DKIM signature from that domain. Mail that fails is dropped. This makes a faked sender address much harder to use, though no email check is perfect. If mail from one of your addresses keeps getting dropped, your email provider may not be signing it. Contact support and we’ll take a look.

Good uses for email capture

  • Forward a receipt or confirmation you want to remember.
  • BCC Tuck on something you want available as context later.
  • Send yourself a thought from a device where you are not signed in to Tuck.

What happens next

If the message looks actionable, Tuck can turn it into a todo. If it includes timing that Tuck recognizes, it can schedule the corresponding reminder. Days and times in the message are read in your account time zone, which you can check in Account settings.
