  • Two-factor authentication available for free
    • It safeguards an account when the password has been compromised, by adding another layer of authentication
  • In Belgium, where Mailfence is located and their servers hosted, the law protects privacy
    • Only a valid Belgian court order can force Mailfence to release data
  • We have full control over our servers in Belgium. We do not use an intermediary or subcontractor to manage them and we do not allow any third-party access. The data center uses biometric security as well as additional advanced security measures, Mailfence team
  • Our threat model (archived on archive.ph/bcPXO) provides a detailed account of the threats that Mailfence does and does not protect you from. We cannot claim that our system is 100% secure – no one can offer that level of security – but we work hard to offer you the highest level of protection possible, Mailfence team
  • Also available on mobile
    • Go to https://app.mailfence.com from your mobile web browser and on browser settings go to "add page to" and select your favorite option (e.g, home screen, browser's "quick access" section)
    • Not depending on App Store (iphone) or Google Play (Android) to use the app makes you and Mailfence team independent of Big Tech (ref)
  • Accepts cryptocurrency as a means of payment for upgrading to a paid plan – steps:

All about my favorite apps for multiple software categories. None of them is owned by "Big Tech" (big corporations like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Twitter, Zoom, etc.). It is (to me) not sustainable to feed billion/trillion-dollar companies whenever there are effective, more ethical (right to privacy and to freedom of expression) and less wealthy firms in the market. Empowering monopolies increases social inequalities and abuses of power.
