Private-Mail review
A privacy-focused mailbox that adds encrypted storage, sharing, aliases, and business protocols.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Private-Mail combines encrypted email, cloud file storage, and file sharing for individuals and businesses. Its core privacy features include OpenPGP end-to-end email encryption, local OpenPGP keyring management, self-destructing email, email aliases, and end-to-end encrypted SecureShare transfers. Calendar and contact synchronization extend it beyond a basic mailbox, while business users get custom domains, account management, shared collaboration features, and POP3, IMAP, and SMTP support. It suits people who want encrypted storage alongside email rather than a mailbox alone.
The freemium structure starts with a free plan available with a TorGuard subscription. The Standard Plan provides 5 email aliases, 10GB of encrypted email storage, 10GB of encrypted cloud storage, SecureShare, OpenPGP email encryption, and self-destructing email. PrivateMail Pro increases the allowances to 20 aliases, 20GB of encrypted email storage, and 20GB of encrypted cloud storage while retaining the same listed security and sharing features. The main plan distinction is therefore capacity and alias count, with both named plans covering the service’s central encrypted-email workflow.
Private-Mail also has a practical ecosystem for users moving between common mail services, with integrations for Gmail, Outlook, and Mail.com. Business custom domains and standard mail protocols make it more adaptable for organizational accounts, while browser access and mobile apps support everyday access across web, iOS, and Android. Choose it if encrypted email, storage, sharing, and aliases belong in one service. Users seeking a broader platform footprint or a mailbox-only product may prefer a more narrowly targeted alternative.
