Powerful PGP Encryption

  • StartMail uses PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption. A combination of public and private keys renders emails unreadable to anyone except the private key holder.

  • PGP not only protects message content but verifies sender identity, adding credibility to every interaction. Sharing your public key allows others to send you encrypted messages, while your private key is exclusively yours for decrypting purposes.

  • Be proactive and leverage our service against surveillance and unauthorized access with PGP encryption. When you sign up for StartMail, we automatically assign you a passphrase that doubles as your account password.


If you are sending emails to users lacking an encrypted email service (e.g. Gmail, Hotmail), you can still encrypt your message using a Password Protection method.
