Mailbox settings

Change the profile picture

You can't change your profile picture in the Yandex.Mail iOS app yet. However, you can do this in a mobile browser:
  1. Upload an image from your phone or add a direct link to the image (for example, from a social network).

If you upload a new profile picture over an old one, the old picture is saved in Yandex ID. You can always roll back to it by deleting your latest picture.

Exclusive email address

If you're using a Premium plan, you can create an exclusive email address. It's easy to remember and nice to share. For example, you can have an address like [email protected] or [email protected].

So far, you can only get an exclusive email address in the .ru domain zone. You can't host an entire site on the domain, you can only add an email address.

Emails will be sent from the new address by default. You can log in to your mailbox with both addresses.
