Overview

Overview

StartMail is a privacy-focused email service for people who want greater control over their inbox and personal data.

Current offer

New customers can receive 50% off yearly plans through the link on this page.

Limitations

Changing email provider takes time, and a private inbox does not protect against phishing, weak passwords or compromised devices.

Before you subscribe

Check current plans, storage and features on the provider's own site, since these change over time.

Best for

People who want a private email account with more control over their inbox and personal data.

Helps with: Running everyday email through a privacy-focused provider, with aliases and encryption options available in the service.

Not ideal for

It will not make an account secure on its own. Account safety still depends on strong passwords, device security and how you handle messages you receive.

Pros

  • Privacy-focused email service
  • Control over inbox and personal data
  • Yearly plans available

Cons

  • Moving an existing inbox to a new provider takes time
  • Privacy features do not remove the need for good account security

Pricing

Pricing and plan availability change over time. Check current pricing on the provider's site.
