Sukhovei Mail for saaS teams
App email and the support inbox, in one product
Sukhovei Mail sends your product's email through a Resend compatible API and runs support@ as a shared inbox your team works from. One set of domains, one set of keys.
What gets in the way
The sending bill grows with every user, and support@ lives in a separate help desk with its own seats.
How it goes
- 1
Change the base URL
POST /v1/emails takes Resend's request body. Keep your code, swap two env vars.
RESEND_BASE_URL=https://api.mailbay.dev/v1 - 2
Point support@ at Sukhovei Mail
Conversations open in a shared inbox. Assign them, reply as support@, close them.

Listen for events
Signed webhooks for queued, delivered, bounced, complained and received, or a WebSocket stream.

The switch is two lines
If your app sends with the Resend SDK today, this is the migration. Fields Sukhovei Mail does not support are refused with a fix, never silently dropped.

Questions
How much code changes when we move from Resend?
For sending with the Resend Node SDK: two environment variables, RESEND_BASE_URL and the key. Fields Sukhovei Mail does not support yet are refused with unsupported_field and a fix, so nothing is dropped silently.
Can the support team use their own mail app?
Yes. Each inbox can have app passwords for Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird over IMAP and SMTP. Replies sent there stay in the same conversation.
How do we hear about bounces?
Register a webhook for message.bounced and the other message events. Each request is signed, and the event carries the receiving server's reply.
Is there a contract or an SLA?
Not yet. Sukhovei Mail is currently free. The planned paid plans are on the pricing page.
