# Teams

Plus includes **5 seats**, which is what turns YeyMail from a personal tool into something a family or a small company can share.

## Inviting people

**Team → Invite.** They get an email, accept, and land on their own account with their own aliases and their own destination inbox. They do not see your mail, and you do not see theirs.

## What a member gets

Members **inherit the owner's plan**. Someone you invite to a Plus team has Plus capabilities without paying separately or subscribing themselves.

They can:

* create aliases on the team's shared domains
* set their own destination inboxes
* manage and switch off their own aliases
* add and remove domains
* see every alias on the team's shared domains, including which inbox each one delivers to

They cannot:

* edit or disable another member's aliases
* manage billing
* invite or remove other members

## Shared vs personal domains

A domain added to the team is available to the whole team. Members can create addresses on it, and those addresses deliver to that member's own inbox. That's the useful pattern: `sales@company.com` and `support@company.com` reaching different people, all on one domain, without a shared mailbox.

A member's own aliases on `@yeymail.com` remain theirs alone.

## Removing someone

Removing a member ends their inherited plan. Their aliases on **team-owned domains** are reclaimed by the owner, so mail to `sales@company.com` doesn't leave with a departing employee. Their ability to send as those addresses is revoked at the same time. A former member keeping a working SMTP password for a company address would be a real problem, so we close it deliberately.

Their personal `@yeymail.com` aliases stay with them, on whatever plan their own account has.

## Seats and downgrades

Seats are counted when you invite. If you downgrade from Plus to Starter, which allows a single seat, members are released (newest first) until you're within the allowance. Nothing is deleted; they simply stop inheriting the paid plan.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.yeymail.com/using-yeymail/teams.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
