Mailfence Products

Mailfence is a secure and private email service that prioritises user control and privacy. It is the only email service that offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed to protect your communications and data.

Encryption and Security

Mailfence provides end-to-end encrypted email with digital signatures, ensuring that your emails are secure and can only be read by the intended recipient. The encryption process happens directly in the browser, making it impossible for anyone, including Mailfence, to read your emails along the way. This service is fully interoperable with any OpenPGP service, allowing you to communicate securely with anyone using the OpenPGP standard.

Privacy Protection

Privacy is at the core of Mailfence’s design philosophy. The service is protected by Belgian privacy law, which is known for its strong privacy protections. Only local judges can request information, and they must have a court order, which rarely happens. Mailfence is free from advertising, tracking, and backdoors, ensuring that your data remains private and secure.

Features and Tools

Mailfence offers an integrated suite of tools, including secure email, calendars, documents, and groups. You can easily create and manage your OpenPGP keys in a single place, with no need for additional plugins or add-ons. The service also allows you to import your contacts from all your accounts and create groups to share your data securely.

Plans and Pricing

Mailfence offers a range of plans to suit different needs. The free plan includes 1 GB of storage and basic features. Paid plans offer additional storage and features, such as priority support and custom email domains. Mailfence also donates 15% of the Ultra plan revenues to support the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and European Digital Rights.
