}}Mailfence is an encrypted email service that offers OpenPGP based end-to-end encryption and digital signatures. It was launched in November 2013 by ContactOffice Group, which operates an online collaboration suite for universities and other organizations since 1999.[2]

History

In the midst of 2013, the Mailfence project was started by the founders of ContactOffice. In March 2016, the company released the public BETA version of their end-to-end encryption and digital signatures for emails.[3]

Features

Mailfence provides secure email features, with other functions such as Calendar, Contacts and Documents.[4]

Email

The service supports POP/IMAP and Exchange ActiveSync[5] as well as vanity domains with SPF, DKIM, DMARC[6] and catch-all address support.[7][8] Users can send both plain and rich text emails, organize messages in folders and/or categorize them with tags, set default message signatures, create aliases and use plus addressing[9] to apply filters to inbound messages.

Contacts

The contacts support (CSV, vCard, LDIF) import, (vCard, PDF) export and can be accessed using CardDAV.[10] Users organize them with tags and can also create contact lists.

Calendar

The calendar supports vCal/iCal import, export and can be accessed by using CalDAV.[11] User can share their calendar with group members and can also create polls.[12]

Documents

The documents can be accessed using WebDAV or edited online. Users can drag and drop files in folders and categorize them with tags.[13]

Groups

Groups allow users to share mailbox, documents, contacts, calendars and perform instant chatting with group members in a secure way. A group administrator manages the access rights of group members and can also set another group member as co-admin or main admin of the group.[14][15]

Server location

Since their servers are located in Belgium,[16] they are legally outside of US jurisdiction. Mailfence is therefore not subjected to US gag orders and NSLs. Under Belgian law, all national and international surveillance requests must go through a Belgian court.[17]

Security and Privacy

Aside from conventional security and privacy features including TFA,[18] spam protection, sender address blacklisting and whitelisting, Mailfence offers following features:

End-to-end encryption

The service uses an open-source implementation of OpenPGP (RFC 4880).[19] Private keys are generated in the client-browser, encrypted (via AES256) with the user's passphrase, and then stored on the server.[20] [21] The server never sees the user's passphrase.

Digital signatures

The service gives the choice between "signing", or "signing and encrypting" an email message with or without attachments.[22]

Integrated keystore

The service provides an integrated keystore to manage PGP keys,[23] and does not require any third-party add-on/plugin. OpenPGP keypairs can be generated, imported or exported.[24] Public keys of other users can be imported through file or in-line text or can be downloaded directly from Public key servers.[25]

Full OpenPGP interoperability

Users can communicate with any OpenPGP compatible service provider.[26]
