In an article discussing secure email services, the need for data protection online is emphasized due to personal details in emails being vulnerable to hackers. Encrypted secure email is recommended for its ability to turn emails into code readable only with a special key, ensuring data privacy and trust-building. The article then lists 10 secure email services:

  1. ProtonMail: Swiss-based, zero-access encryption, open-source.
  2. Tutanota: German, open-source, comprehensive encryption.
  3. Hushmail: Canadian, end-to-end encryption, user-friendly.
  4. Mailfence: Belgian, OpenPGP encryption, no third-party cloud use.
  5. Posteo: German, emphasis on privacy and green energy.
  6. Runbox: Norwegian, security, and environmental sustainability.
  7. Zoho Mail: Versatile, encrypted communication, integration.
  8. CounterMail: Swedish, end-to-end encryption, focus on privacy.
  9. Kolab Now: Swiss-based, end-to-end encryption, collaboration.
  10. Thexyz: Canadian, security filters, customizable features.

The article also mentions the advantages of temporary mail over full email accounts, like anonymity, spam/phishing protection, and quick setup. It highlights top temporary mail services:

  1. Temp Mail: Short-term email, automatic message deletion.
  2. MyTemp.email: Short-lived email with user control, free.
  3. Maildrop: Temporary email without registration, spam filter.
  4. Fake Mail Generator: Temporary addresses with various domains.
  5. Guerilla Mail: Disposable mailbox, one-hour email access.

  7. Mailinator: Spontaneous email addresses for single-use.
  8. YOPmail: Temporary email for 8 days, no registration.
  9. 10 Minute Mail: Auto-deleted temporary email in 10 minutes.

These services provide solutions for safeguarding privacy and managing emails effectively.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik Mailbox.org is not encrypted (beyond standard TLS, that is).

Their main selling point used to be bring-your-own-domain emails for 1€/mo but they changed their pricing to a more average 3€/mo earlier this year.

They have an opt-in feature that encrypts all emails that will be saved in your inbox with an PGP key pair, like Proton does. https://kb.mailbox.org/en/private/security-privacy-article/activate-your-mailbox-org-guard
