— Security

Security as architecture, not a feature.

The hard guarantees live in the design, not in a settings toggle. Here's exactly how your mail is protected — and what we deliberately never do.

01

Authentication you can't fake

Sign-in is validated by an actual IMAP login against the mail server — the server is the source of truth, not a token we issue. If the mailbox wouldn't accept the password, neither do we.

02

Encrypted at rest

Your IMAP password is sealed server-side with AES-256-GCM and only decrypted for the moment a mail operation runs. Rotating the master key invalidates every stored session at once.

03

Short-lived, revocable tokens

Access tokens live 15 minutes; refresh tokens are single-use and rotate on every use. Logging out blacklists the token and deletes the session — a stolen token dies fast.

04

Two-factor, your way

Add TOTP via any authenticator app with single-use recovery codes. Sensitive admin actions require a fresh second factor — neither token nor code alone is enough.

05

Self-custody payments

You pay crypto directly to a standing address. We never take custody of funds, store card numbers, or hand your billing to a third-party processor.

06

Hardened, locked-down backbone

Mail runs on a self-hosted Mailcow stack (Postfix, Dovecot, rspamd) whose internal API is reachable only from localhost — never the public internet.

— By omission

What we never do.

Privacy is as much about absence as protection.

No tracking pixels, ever — incoming and outgoing
No selling, sharing or mining your correspondence
No ad profiles built from what you read
No card numbers or payment processors on file
No custody of your crypto or your keys
No public exposure of the mail backend
