Comments and Reviews
Mailfence is the cheapest and gives most functional features - i.e. features you can see and use (such as a calendar and webdav). They have much better security than most mailproviders but e-mails sent in clear text are stored non encrypted. That is why they can provide pop3 and smtp without a "brige" program. They are based in Belgium that has nice privacy laws. I ve had a couple of issues but their support team was very helpful, it was solved in matter of minutes. It fits my needs and is easy to use. Totally recommend this.
I used to have a Gmail account, but I wanted to try something else as I discovered how deep some companies are spying on us. I heard about Mailfence on a forum and I decided to try it out. I am really satisfied with the simple interface and it is good to have some granted privacy.
Requires an email to register
Very secure, no ads, and it's based in Belgium, which has very strict privacy laws, so you know your data isn't being sold. My only complaint is that you can't connect your email to any third-party email app on the free and basic plans. Limiting such a basic feature to higher-paid plans is dubious enough that I'm removing two whole stars for it...
How does one register at Mailfence for free? I inputted my name, my preferred username and a real email address for verification but I didn't receive anything. Tried it for the 2nd time with another email address for verification, still received nothing. Checked my junk folders, nothing. Waited till tomorrow, nothing. Nicht. Nada.
Same here. I tried signing up for a free account hours ago and haven't received anything.
Wonderful platform, absolutely no issues with them in 5 years now, been using Mailfence since 2015. My brother who lives in Belgium recommended it to me. Under belgian law (one of the most consolidated and trustworthy in the world), so it would be extremely difficult to get data from them. You'd have to get hold of a court order in Belgium to be able to do that. Also, outstanding customer service. Higly recommended!
I've been a customer for a couple of weeks now, and so far I can say I'm impressed by how responsive everything is. I really like the layout / design, and from what I can tell, Mailfence sticks to their promise of providing a secure platform. Also I really like that they communicate with their customers through different media channels like reddit and twitter (apart from their integrated support chat). There is a free version, so there is no reason to not try it: personally, I switched from a free version to the entry plan (2,50€) and I cant say I regret it!
