Frequently asked questions

  • Can I use my existing email client?

    Yes, you can use StartMail with Thunderbird, Outlook, Apple Mail etc. Learn more

  • Can I access my email on my mobile phone?

    Yes, StartMail is accessible through a web browser. We specifically made it to work as if it is an app on your phone, and you can access all StartMail privacy features like encryption and aliases from here. For easy email access from a mobile phone or tablet, we recommend adding our website to the home screen of your device.

    Alternatively, you can use a third-party email client such as K-9 Mail, Outlook, or Apple Mail to access your StartMail email on your phone. You will need to configure the email client to use the correct settings for StartMail. You can find instructions on how to configure your email client on our support page.

  • How can an alias help me?

    An alias is an extra email address that you can use instead of your main address. It helps you to reduce spam, protect you from data breaches or phishing attacks, and simply remain private. Delete or disable aliases at any time and immediately stop receiving any email sent to the alias, and the sender will receive a bounce message. Learn more

  • Who created StartMail?

    StartMail was founded by Robert E.G. Beens and David Bodnick – the creators of private search engine Startpage. Robert E.G. Beens is a recognized privacy expert and advocate. As the CEO of the company, he leads StartMail’s global team of engineers, creators, and support specialists.

  • Why isn’t StartMail free?

    There are plenty of so-called "free" email services, but they aren’t really free. In reality, most of those "free" email services so many people use are really market research tools designed to give you a place where you will unwittingly reveal a mountain of information about yourself that they can capture and use for their own purposes. These companies make their money from your personal information!
