Private email providers, and when you don't need email at all

Your email address is the thread that ties your whole online life together. Here's how to cut it.

Your main email address is linked to your bank, your social media, your shopping, maybe your real name. Every new site you give it to adds another link.

Encrypted email

Providers like Tuta and Proton encrypt your mailbox so the provider can't read stored mail, and they don't make their money from ads. Some can be paid with crypto, and some can be signed up for over Tor without a phone number.

Email aliases

Alias services give you a different forwarding address for every site. If one leaks or starts getting spam, you delete it, and your real address never got out.

Separate inboxes

Use one address for your real-name life, another for everything else. The two should never touch.

The best email is no email

The strongest option is a service that doesn't ask for email at all. LateLune gives you an account number and a password, nothing else. Nothing to leak, nothing to link.

FAQ

Is Gmail private?

Google scans messages for various features and ties your account to your activity across its services. For privacy, there are better options.
