I strongly recommend investing a few dollars/euros in a secure and private email provider, such as StartMail. I really love the fact that StartMail offers me the option to use “disposable” email addresses every time I make an online purchase. As such, I am not compromising my main email address."

I am sooo excited to be signed up for your email services — and equally happy and relieved to cancel all my Gmail email accounts. Thank you all once again for creating and maintaining the highest ethical standards at StartMail.

Five Stars. I've been using StartMail for a few months now, and I really like it. The security features are awesome, and its very intuitive to use. It's so great to know that I am no longer beholden to companies like Google and Microsoft for my email. Definitely recommend.

A nice, easy email operation that doesn't spam with advertising and doesn't sell or market my mail. I'm so happy I switched and will gladly continue paying yearly for the peace, and security I have.

I have set up a lot of aliases that will be used for orders, subscriptions, etc. If one gets junk emails I can delete it and use others created for the same function.

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!
