SMTP mailboxes for a property team working one city

Four decisions sit in front of a property team buying mailboxes: how many people need one, how the team will warm up new addresses, how authentication is handled, and what the team does about contact data. Take them in turn and the purchase stops feeling like a leap.

Your payment goes to mailboxes your team signs into and configures. Each one works over standard SMTP and IMAP, and browser webmail is included for colleagues who prefer a tab over a mail client. The warm-up and authentication checks arrive with setup, which matters when a small team is writing to owners it has identified itself.

No list of owners or developers is part of the purchase. A team working one city builds its own shortlist from planning records, site visits and local knowledge, then sends from mailboxes it controls. That separation keeps the budget on sending infrastructure rather than on rows of contacts that rarely match the streets you actually cover.

Because the tiers are sold by mailbox count for life, the budgeting question becomes how many colleagues will write to owners and developers, not how many messages the team expects to send in a given month.

Starter 5 mailboxes, Studio 15 mailboxes and Floor 50 mailboxes form the ladder. A two-person agency contacting local developers fits inside Starter. A growing team with a lettings desk and a sales desk sits comfortably at Studio. Floor suits a larger office where several agents each need a separate identity.

The published tiers are taken from the lifetime table on softwareprogrammer.app. Each tier swaps a mailbox count for a one-off payment rather than a recurring subscription, which changes how a property team plans. You can map named colleagues to mailboxes before paying and leave room for a new joiner.

Upgrade thinking follows the same logic. If two agents are sharing one mailbox today and a third is about to start, moving to the next tier is the natural step. The tier names describe mailbox counts, and the table is the place to confirm what sits inside each before committing the team.

For a team that writes to owners and developers in a single city, the mailbox count usually maps to staff rather than to campaign size, because each agent wants a recognisable address that recipients can reply to directly.

The objection is national data with no local detail, and it deserves a straight answer. LocalSMTP does not sell data at all. The product supplies mailboxes, and the local detail comes from your team's own research into owners, developers and sites within the city you cover.

That split is a feature for a property team. You already know which streets are changing and which developers are active. What you lack is a reliable sending identity for each agent. LocalSMTP provides that identity through standard mailboxes, webmail and the warm-up and authentication checks that support a new address.

A mailbox is not a contact list, and inbox placement is not guaranteed even after checks pass. Approached with those facts in view, the doubt about national data loses its force, because nothing in the purchase depends on a national list. The local work stays with the people who know the city.

Teams that want a supplier to hand them local decision makers will be disappointed. Teams that already do their own research will find the mailbox side handled, provided they accept that deliverability remains a matter of ongoing practice rather than a promised outcome.

Whether to upgrade comes down to headcount and separation. Count the colleagues who write to owners and developers, add one for a planned joiner, and compare that figure with the tier you hold. If the count exceeds the mailboxes available, the next tier is the straightforward answer.

There is a second reason to move up: keeping roles apart. A sales agent and a lettings agent in the same office may want separate addresses so replies land with the right person. Running both from one mailbox blurs that. The larger tier restores the distinction without changing how the team works day to day.

Extra services beyond the mailbox count are priced separately, so confirm what your chosen tier includes before you pay. Read the published table in full and match it to the team you actually have, not to a projection of growth that may not arrive. That keeps the lifetime decision grounded.
