*📜 Plan description

Base is presented as an affordable personal subscription tier priced at 2.5 EUR per month, with billing described as yearly for the plan. It is positioned for individuals and families who want more storage and practical account features while keeping costs predictable.
The plan includes 11 GB total storage, broken down as 5 GB for emails and 6 GB for documents, enabling a larger mailbox plus meaningful document storage for personal projects and daily work.
It includes 10 aliases, supporting multiple email identities under one account. It also includes encryption features, helping users protect sensitive communications using built-in cryptography workflows.
This tier emphasizes essential usability features while remaining simpler than higher tiers, making it suitable for privacy-conscious users who primarily use web and mobile access and do not require advanced client connectivity or custom-domain hosting.
Support for this tier is presented as direct email support rather than phone priority, balancing cost and assistance for everyday usage.

Mailfence is positioned as a secure and private email service delivered as an integrated suite that combines messages, calendars, documents, and group collaboration in one account.
Privacy positioning emphasizes no advertising, no trackers, and no data mining, with operations under Belgian jurisdiction and EU privacy protections.
Security features highlighted across the service include browser-based end-to-end encryption using OpenPGP, digital signatures for sender verification, and an integrated keystore for creating, importing, publishing, and managing keys.
Access methods referenced include web access plus secure protocols (POPS, IMAPS, SMTPS) for paid plans, and mobile support through iOS/Android and progressive web app style access.
Higher tiers add capabilities such as aliases, user management, and custom domain email with deliverability and authentication controls like DKIM, SPF, and DMARC.
Operational notes emphasize that attachments are handled with virus-checking routines and that subscriptions can be upgraded via account settings.
Payments supported for subscriptions include credit cards (Visa and Eurocard/Mastercard), PayPal, cryptocurrency payments (treated as Bitcoin for reporting), and wire transfer by contacting support, while subscriptions are described as non-refundable because the free tier can be used to test the service.
The service is presented as operating on 100% green energy and as subscription-funded rather than ad-funded.

📄 Editorial Review

Mailfence (est 2013) is a secure email and collaboration suite based in Brussels and operated by ContactOffice Group SA. The team has been building cloud email and groupware since 1999 and runs Mailfence as a long-term, independent service rather than a VC-driven startup. The whole concept revolves around privacy-first email hosting: no ads, no tracking, strong encryption, and data handled entirely under Belgian and European law, with servers physically located in Belgium.

Instead of being a generic web host, Mailfence focuses on secure email and related tools. Every account includes encrypted email plus an integrated collaboration suite: calendars (with sharing and polls), contacts, cloud documents, groups and chat. Mailboxes are accessible via webmail, POP/IMAP/SMTP, and mobile apps for iOS/Android, and the platform supports custom domains so addresses can live under a customer’s own DNS instead of a mailfence.com address. For many users this makes Mailfence a realistic replacement for traditional hosted email or part of a privacy-focused hosting stack.

Security is the main differentiator. Mailfence builds true OpenPGP end-to-end encryption into the web interface, so encryption happens in the browser and keys are managed in an integrated keystore. Users can generate, import and manage multiple OpenPGP key pairs, sign messages digitally, enforce two-factor authentication, and rely on TLS with perfect forward secrecy for all connections. The service also enforces strong server-side measures like SPF, DKIM and DMARC, and runs on hardened systems that are updated quickly when security issues arise.

For more demanding scenarios, there is Mailfence for Business and a full private-label / white-label offering. Business customers get an admin console to manage users, aliases, groups, storage quotas, security policies and custom domains, with optional integration into LDAP/Active Directory and APIs for automated provisioning. The private-label variant lets MSPs, agencies or enterprises offer Mailfence under their own brand (custom logo, colors, domains), with all data still hosted in Belgian infrastructure or, for large deployments, licensed to run on the customer’s own Linux servers.

Overall, Mailfence works as a secure email hosting platform plus productivity suite, targeting privacy-conscious individuals, small businesses, regulated industries and resellers that want encrypted, EU-based email instead of mainstream ad-driven providers.
