StartMail

StartMail provides a private, encrypted email service designed to keep personal and business correspondence free from tracking and profiling — includes unlimited disposable aliases and one-click PGP encryption. Messages can be sent password-protected to any recipient, including those outside StartMail, giving users practical encryption without forcing the other side to install anything.

Accounts are accessible through the web interface and any standard IMAP client, including Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, and K-9 Mail on mobile. Accounts include 20GB of storage for personal plans and 30GB for business, and the service never scans message contents, serves ads, or builds behavioural profiles on its users.

Key benefits:

• Unlimited disposable aliases for blocking spam and isolating signups
• Password-protected encrypted messages deliverable to any recipient
• Full PGP support with one-click key management
• No tracking or profiling — no ads, no content scanning
• IMAP and SMTP access via Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, and K-9
• Easy migration from Gmail, Outlook, and other providers

StartMail is headquartered in Zeist, Netherlands, founded in 2014 by the team behind the Startpage search engine. Mailboxes are hosted on Dutch-owned servers in the Netherlands, protected by strict Dutch privacy law and EU GDPR, with no US entity able to compel disclosure of user data.
