About

Mailfence is an encrypted email service that prioritizes user privacy through end-to-end OpenPGP encryption performed entirely in the browser. It offers an integrated suite including email, calendars, documents, and contact groups, all protected under Belgian privacy law. The service operates without ads, tracking, or third-party data access, and supports standard protocols like IMAP, SMTP, and POP.

Problem

Mainstream email services track users, show ads, and are vulnerable to government surveillance without robust legal protections.

For

Privacy-conscious individuals and businesses seeking secure email communication

How it works

Encryption is handled entirely in the user's browser using OpenPGP standards, making it impossible for anyone including Mailfence to read email content in transit.
