Encrypted business email for maximum security

Ensure your confidential business communication remains secure with StartMail's encryption. We make it easy to keep your emails secure with PGP encryption to ensure that only the intended recipients can read your message. You can also send password-protected emails, even if the recipient doesn’t use encryption and configure your IMAP mail client to use end-to-end encryption.

Your data is encrypted within a personal vault, ensuring that your sensitive information remains safe from prying eyes.

For anyone who wants to stay in control of their inbox
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."

Frequently asked questions

How to create a business email account?
Sign up for a business account: Begin your secure email journey with StartMail by registering your business account and creating a strong password to set the foundation for a protected communication channel.

Configure your domain: Establish your business’s unique identity by adding your existing custom domain to StartMail. Our seamless domain setup makes connecting your existing domain simple. You can later add an unlimited number of additional domains to your StartMail business account. (Please note that StartMail does not provide domains, so you must already have your own domain to be able to set it up with your StartMail business account.)

Add team members: Expand your secure email network by adding team members to your StartMail business account. You can add an unlimited number of additional accounts to your subscription at a discounted rate of 25% off.
How to get a business email domain?
StartMail does not provide domains, so you must already have your own domain to be able to set it up with your StartMail business account. If you already have a registered domain, you can follow the steps in this article to learn how to set up your domain.
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
What types of email aliases does StartMail offer?
StartMail offers two types of aliases in a personal account.

Personal and quick aliases end in @use.startmail.com instead of @startmail.com. This is done to ensure that email aliases do not conflict with the address options available for StartMail's main email addresses.

Burner aliases are system generated. The alias is created with one click and automatically deleted after one hour. It is not possible to send emails from a burner alias. Only one burner alias can be active at any one time.

There is no limit to the number of personal and quick aliases you can create. For more information on our different types of aliases, check out our support article.
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.
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.
