Say goodbye to ads and tracking with StartMail's advanced privacy tools.
Your privacy is our top priority. We don't track your email activity, serve ads, or sell your data. You're in control of your data at all times.
We protect your privacy by blocking tracking pixels, which are often used to monitor your email activity. By default we hide senders’ external images. You have the option to display images from trusted senders.
Stay safe online with our built-in malicious link protection. We'll warn you if you click on an external link and show you the full web address, so you can decide whether to proceed or not.
Tired of spam cluttering your inbox? Our personal and private spam filter allows you to train it to recognize and redirect new spam emails out of your inbox. Enjoy a cleaner and more organized inbox.
Emails you send contain headers that include your IP address. We hide the IP address to prevent you from being tracked.
We take your privacy and security seriously. Learn how we keep your data safe.
Your data is not sent flying through the cloud, but is securely stored on our self-hosted servers located in the Netherlands. Our data center is ISO 27001 certified and complies with the EU’s GDPR, which are the world’s strictest privacy regulations.
Your data is encrypted within a personal vault, ensuring that your sensitive information remains safe from prying eyes. Plus, we use secure TLS connections wherever possible to guarantee your messages are encrypted during transit.
We offer two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect your account from unauthorized access. This means that even if someone gains knowledge of your password, they won't be able to access your account without your verification device.
We are dedicated to keeping your account secure. That's why we enforce strong password policies, requiring you to create a unique and robust password to prevent unauthorized access.
Forgetting your password can be frustrating. That's why we make account recovery easy. Set up your preferred recovery method (a one-time use code, alternative email address, or both) to quickly and easily recover your account.
Streamline your email experience with StartMail's inbox organization tools.
Choose how you want to view your inbox. Read your emails with the classic layout or decrease the spacing to quickly scan through your messages. Protect your eyes with our built-in dark mode.
A smooth, responsive interface that works on every modern mobile device and smartphone. Easy access to your mailbox whether you are at home or on the go.
Our advanced search tool helps you find any email you are looking for. Whether you need a simple search or more advanced filtering, we've got you covered!
Create filters to automatically sort your emails into specific folders and keep your inbox neat and tidy.
Easily transfer your contacts and emails from other providers with just a few clicks.
StartMail works with your favorite email app, such as Thunderbird, Outlook, or Apple Mail. Full IMAP/SMTP access for your ultimate freedom.
Create contact groups for your family, clients, or friends. When you want to email the group, simply type the group name as the recipient and send the message.
Whether you're off on vacation or simply need some uninterrupted downtime, Auto-Reply notifies anyone who is trying to reach you that you're temporarily unavailable.
If you receive a message from an unwanted address, you have the ability to discard it. Our improved spam filtering will automatically block future messages from the same unwanted sender.
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.

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.

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.

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
