QQ Mail (QQ邮箱) : China's Gmail with 2GB attachments per email, every QQ account included.

China's version of Gmail, QQ Mail is the most widely used email service in China, with deep integration into the QQ ecosystem. Every QQ account comes with a free email address. The service supports massive attachments (up to 2GB per email), IMAP/POP3 access, and third-party account management. For many Chinese users, their QQ email address functions as their primary digital identity - equivalent to how Gmail serves this role for Western users.

Is QQ Mail suitable for professional use?

QQ Mail is widely used in China for personal and business communication. It offers decent spam filtering, calendar integration, and aliases. However, privacy-conscious users should note that data is stored in China. For professional use in China, it is acceptable; internationally, Gmail or Outlook are preferred.

Does QQ Mail require a QQ number or Chinese phone?

QQ Mail requires a QQ account, which in turn needs phone verification. International numbers including US numbers are accepted for QQ registration. Once registered, you can use QQ Mail without additional verification. Email forwarding to other services is supported.

Is QQ Mail accessible from the United States?

QQ Mail is fully accessible from the US through a web browser or email client via IMAP/SMTP. It is Tencent's free email service, comparable to Gmail or Outlook.com. The interface is available in English. It offers 2GB free storage with large attachment support.
