E-mail

Disroot provides secure email accounts for your desktop or mobile email client, or via our webmail. The communication between your device and the mail server is encrypted with SSL, providing as much privacy as possible. Furthermore, all emails sent out from our server are TLS encrypted if the recipient's email server supports it. This means that emails are no longer sent as a "postcard", but are actually put in an "envelope".

Nevertheless, we encourage you to be cautious when communicating using email, and to make use of GPG end-to-end encryption to ensure your communication is as secure and private as possible.




Use your favorite email client

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

Delimiters: The plus sign ("+") can be used as a delimiter in your email address to create sub-addresses, e.g. username+whatever@disroot.org. This can be used, for instance, to filter and track spam.
Example: david@disroot.org could have an email address like 'david+bank@disroot.org' that he could give to his bank. It can be used to send and receive emails. These addresses do not need to be manually configured; they are always routed back to the original mailbox.

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.
