Disroot provides secure email accounts for your desktop client or via a web interface. The communication between you and the mail server is encrypted with SSL, providing as much privacy as possible. Furthermore, all the emails being sent out from our server are encrypted as well (TLS) if the recipients email server supports it. This means that emails are no longer sent as traditional "postcard", but are actually put in an "envelope".
Nevertheless, we encourage you to always be cautious when using email communication, and to make use of GPG end-to-end encryption to ensure your correspondence is as private as can be.
Webmail
You can access your mail from any devices by using our webmail at https://mail.disroot.org
Our webmail is powered by RainLoop. Rainloop is a modern approach to webmail. It's simple, fast and provides most of the features one could expect from webmail:
- Themes: Select your background picture.
- Threads: Display conversations in a threaded mode.
- Translations: The interface is being translated to many languages
- Filters: Set up rules to automatically move or copy email to specific folders, forward or reject emails.
- Folders: Manage your folders (add, remove, or hide).
- GPG Encryption: The RainLoop web-client offers built in encryption option.
- Contacts: you can add your contacts and even link your Nextcloud contacts directly into the webmail.
NOTE: Please be aware that this is a server side encryption, which means you don't have control on your secret key. This is not as safe as using desktop email client, such as Thunderbird, with local encryption. But then again, it is better than not using any encryption at all...

What is encryption
Encryption is when you change data with a special encoding process so that the data becomes unrecognizable (it's encrypted). You can then apply a special decoding process and you will get the original data back. By keeping the decoding process a secret, nobody else can recover the original data from the encrypted data.
Custom domain linking
This feature is a perk for your financial contribution to the project. It allows you to use your own domain to be able to send and receive emails. It is a lifetime reward.
