    A good alternative to gmail

    Date: Jun 10 2024
    Summary

    A nice experience till now, no complains so far. Would recommend this product to everyone who is tired of Google's tracking.

    Positive

    It is very easy to use, and incase, you are stuck somewhere, they also have blogs detailing the entire encryption process. I have purchased the base plan for now, but I think I will stick to Mailfence service.

    Negative

    The mobile app does not support all the features that the desktop interface has, but it is still good enough.

    USER FRIENDLY

    Date: Oct 12 2022
    Summary

    I would highly recommend the service to anyone who is looking to make a change to a more secure option of an email server.

    Positive

    I got tired of receiving spam from pages I had never even been with and didn’t realize how unsafe my old email was, I tried Mailfence because the server is based where I’m from, and I have to say I’ve been surprised as to how easy it was.

    Negative

    As of now, I don't have anything to complain about.

    Super privacy and service

    Date: Jun 18 2022
    Summary

    I would recommend this service based on my first few weeks of experience.

    For the money this is a great service and enhances not only the user experience but privacy too through use of state of the art encryption technologies.

    Positive

    Great and responsive customer service. Fair behaviour towards customer and super helpful.
    Super easy to set up IMAP account in thunderbird and good explanation and assistance with PGP encryption. I feel safer using this service now.

    Negative

    Nothing so far. There is nothing negative to say about this service. I made a small mistake with adding credit balance and the guys fixed this in less than a day. What more can you ask for?

    Security, Simplicity, Smart Features, and Service

    Date: May 20 2022
    Summary

    Excellent overall experience. I would have preferred if the interface had walked me through the setup step by step, but maybe that was just "me."

    Positive

    I have used Mailfence for a year now and have been super pleased. I have the Entry plan...one step up from the free version, which I think I got because it let me have aliases. The trigger for me to leave earthlink after 20+ years and switch specifically to Mailfence was Mailfence pointing out to me their use of TLS/SSL Connection Security, which solved the "does not support encrypted password" messages I suddenly had started getting when using my earthlink email service. I also like that I got to create my own 10 aliases, as opposed to goofy aliases that earthlink had picked for me, and doing it was super easy. And Mailfence costs half of what I had been paying for Earthlink. And instead of getting into shouting matches with Earthlink's customer service, now I get pleasant exchanges with people who listen. They told me it's possible to arrange for a phone call, which seems a bit tricky, but so far emails have worked out great. I even prefer email to phone calls since it gives me a documented knowledge base.

    Negative

    Setup was a bit non-intuitive to me. It was also a bit tricky achieving what I was used to....having email come into different aliases and end up in different buckets. But once I understood the system, by using filters, it felt easy-peasy.

    Mailfence Is My ProtonMail Replacement

    Date: Feb 03 2022
    Summary

    Professional, easy to set up, first-rate tech support and all the features I require and it works perfectly on all of my devices.

    Positive

    I have been a long-time premium user of ProtonMail and its desktop and IMAP functions have worked well. However, I have had issues with the Android app and neither tech support or the sub-Reddit have been able to help me out, so I went looking for an end to end encrypted alternative.

    The shortlist consisted of mailbox.org, Posteo and Mailfence. Many years ago I worked on a project for the European Commission and as Mailfence was Belgium-based I asked a former colleague who lives in the country was the company and its service secure and reputable. Both came back affirmative, so I signed up for a year with the basic premium version.

    I am not a huge fan of browser-based email systems. Also, spending more time away from the desktop, it was important to find a service that had bombproof IMAP and SMTP for Aqua Mail on my Android devices. Set up was simplicity itself, as was putting it on my desktop third-party email clients Postbox and Mailbird.

    Mailfence also has a calendar and document storage area, although neither works on remote devices, this was not an issue for me.

    What I found outstanding was due to operator error (me) I was locked out of my account due to a 2FA issue. I fired off an email to Mailfence support and after answering some pretty in-depth questions (top notch security) I was back up and running in around an hour. Unbeatable service.

    This was a clincher and I have no problem in now spending time switching relevant services and website logins to Mailfence.

    Negative

    Nothing has been discovered as yet and due to the positive reviews from experts, I do not expect to find any. However, due to a very positive experience with their tech support, if something does arise, I am sure the tech team will resolve them swiftly.

    Great alternative to G-suite

    Date: Mar 06 2022
    Summary

    Reliable service that has everything I need and even more. After deciding to switch from Google services because of their security issues, Mailfence was an easy alternative to choose because of their secure and friendly services.

    Positive

    Easy to set up your account after having used Google for so long. The pricing is very competitive for the number of services they’re offering, Messages, Documents, Calendar. Very strong security system with great customer support. While I couldn’t sync my contacts from another account, an email to them solved it by the end of the day.

    Negative

    No major issues discovered until now. The website might seem a bit crowded at the beginning but after getting used to it, it feels very intuitive.

    The best email alternative for a company

    Date: Aug 30 2022
    Summary

    My company has been using G-Suite services for years when they decided the service would no longer be free. We had to quickly find an alternative for our clients and, fortunately, the Mailfence team was able to help us, and we managed to make the transition before being charged by Google. I would say I really appreciate how simple it was and I am fully satisfied with the different features (the Calendar, the chat...). It is a true alternative that worked well for us.

    Positive

    I really enjoyed the contact with the Mailfence team and how simple the service is to use with all the different features.

    Negative

    I don't really have any cons to say about the service.

    If you're into privacy, consider Mailfence

    Date: Feb 20 2022
    Summary

    If you're into privacy, check Mailfence. It's a great competitor with other privacy-respecting e-mail providers, like ProtonMail, for example.

    Positive

    Privacy: Mailfence collects so little data compared with Google, Facebook and other giants in the market, and it doesn't sell or share your data.
    Encryption: Mailfence recommends you use a strong password, 2 Factor Authentication and PGP, it even has a PGP key generator, where they make your PGP key and uploads it to a server (if you would like to).

    Negative

    The interface looks a bit off for me, they haven't introduced dark mode until recently, but you'll get accustomed with it.
    They also don't have POP/IMAP on the free plan, but for 2,50 € (About $2,83 on February 20th 2022) you get that functionality.

    Great alternative to Big Tech emails

    Date: Jan 19 2022
    Summary

    While I wish there was an app to install and give me consistent notifications, the web app on mobile is good and on PC it's great. The extra cloud storage and calendar functions are awesome, if restrictive in the free version. Do highly recommend overall.

    Positive

    The security, transparency, and reliability are great. Love the fact that I have options other than Gmail and Outlook.

    Negative

    No android app available, even on F-Droid.

    Free version's calendar is a bit too restrictive.

    Literally cannot use for Apple account because it's so unknown as a service.

    Valuable service

    Date: Jan 25 2022
    Summary

    In conclusion i feel very safe and secure with Mailfence. A great experience and great value.

    Positive

    Comparing the fees paid to the services provided, i think the package is very valuable. They serve me the best just by paying less than half of what other professional companies are offering.

    Negative

    Some features are only used with Mailfence subscribers which is not a good thing. If I want to use these features with friends or colleges, they will have to subscribe.

    Summary

    After 3 companies, only Mailfence was able to do this import perfectly. Great service, great product.

    Positive

    After using Gmail for longtime, with our server mail, we decided to move to protected and scripted emails. But the import go our hundreds of folders and thousands of emails (10Gb) showed to be the impossible mission.

    Negative

    We don't see any cons. All the experience until now is great.
