E-mail

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.

Use your favorite Email client

There are a lot of desktop/mobile email clients to choose from. Pick the one you like the best.

Check our Howto page for details on how to setup your favourite clients.

Check the settings on top of this page to set up your Disroot email on your device. These settings are standard information that tells your email client how to reach Disroot's email server.

Delimiters: You can use delimiters (plus sign, "+") in your email address to create sub-addresses, like username+whatever@disroot.org, for example for filtering and tracking spam. Example: david@disroot.org can set up mail addresses like 'david+bank@disroot.org' that he could give to his bank. It can be used only to receive emails, not to send ones. Your emails will always be sent as david@disroot.org.

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.
