mailbox.org

mailbox.org is a paid German email service operated by Heinlein Hosting GmbH, a family-run company based in Berlin, Germany. The roots of the company date back to 1992 when CEO Peer Heinlein took over the internet and email provider JPBerlin, which was later integrated into Heinlein Hosting GmbH[2].

mailbox.org offers a comprehensive communication platform characterized by high security standards and data protection. The main services include:

• Secure Email Services: With spam and virus protection, web groupware, online office, and its own video conferencing system.
• Cloud Storage: Secure storage solutions for files and documents.
• Groupware: Calendars, contacts, and files can be easily shared within user groups.
• Video Conferencing: Own video conferencing system hosted in its own data centers in Germany[1][3][5].

The main mission of mailbox.org is to set new standards in security, transparency, and ad-free communication. This stems from global surveillance and espionage scandals, particularly the revelations by Edward Snowden in 2013, which prompted the founding of mailbox.org. The company firmly believes that privacy and data protection are essential and therefore advocates for ad-free and tracking-free communication[1][2].

mailbox.org places great importance on data protection and data security. This includes several innovative approaches:

• Encryption: All incoming emails can be retroactively encrypted with the user's public PGP key to enhance protection against third-party access.
• Security Mechanisms: Use of Extended Validation Certificates, DANE, DNSSEC, and high-quality ciphers as well as HTTP security headers like HSTS.
• Data Protection: No evaluation of email content and no advertising emails. Client IP addresses and other revealing information are removed[1][4].

mailbox.org has received numerous recognitions and awards, particularly from the German Stiftung Warentest, which named the service as the test winner among 15 email providers in 2015 and 2016. Additionally, mailbox.org is used by public institutions such as the Thuringian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and the Berlin Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family[1][2].

mailbox.org positions itself as a reliable and secure alternative to large, ad-funded email services. With a strong focus on data protection, data security, and innovation, the company offers a comprehensive communication platform for private and business customers that meets the demand for secure and transparent communication solutions.
