Most email providers hold the keys to your messages. Foxcolab Mail encrypts every email on your device before it's sent — so not even we can read a single word. Free forever.
Most email services encrypt the connection but keep the keys. Here's how we're different.
Private by design
Every email, subject line, and attachment is locked on your phone or computer before it ever travels across the internet. The unencrypted version never touches our servers — or anyone else's.
Your eyes only
Your encryption keys come from your password — which never leaves your device. This means Foxcolab employees, server administrators, and anyone who breaks into our systems would only find scrambled, unreadable data.
No more silent surveillance
Many emails from brands and newsletters contain hidden tracking pixels that report when you opened an email, where you were, and what device you used. Foxcolab strips these out automatically before you even see the email.
Even if they don't use Foxcolab
Need to send something confidential to someone on Gmail or Outlook? Set a password on the email. They'll open a secure link in their browser and enter the password — no app install needed.
The difference isn't marketing — it's who holds the keys to your inbox.
| The Question | Gmail, Outlook & Yahoo | Foxcolab Mail |
|---|---|---|
| Who can read your emails? | The email provider, their employees, advertisers, and anyone with a court order. | Only you and the person you sent it to. Nobody else — not even us. |
| What happens when your emails travel across the internet? | Encrypted during transit, but the provider can read the original content at both ends. | Encrypted on your device first, then travels encrypted. Nobody in the middle can read it. |
| What happens to your emails sitting on the server? | Stored with the provider's keys. They can decrypt and read them anytime. | Stored as scrambled, unreadable data. Even if someone steals our servers, your emails are safe. |
| Are your emails used to train AI? | Yes — Gmail and Outlook scan your emails to power smart features, ad targeting, and AI models. | Never. We can't read your emails, so we can't use them for anything — and we never will. |
| What happens if the government demands your emails? | The provider can be forced to hand over your readable emails — sometimes without telling you. | We can only hand over scrambled data. Without your password, it's unreadable gibberish. |
You don't need a special reason to want privacy. But some people need it more than others.

You don't need a special reason to want private email. Your personal conversations, family photos, and financial emails deserve protection.
Trade secrets, M&A discussions, and competitive strategies belong in email that can't be intercepted or subpoenaed.
With Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo — yes. These providers hold the keys to decrypt your emails and routinely scan them for ads, smart features, and AI training. With Foxcolab, the answer is no. Your emails are encrypted on your device using your personal password, and we never receive the keys.
Even in the worst-case scenario, hackers would only find scrambled, encrypted data. Your emails can't be read without your personal password, which is never stored on our servers. It's like stealing a safe without the combination — the contents remain protected.
Not at all. Foxcolab looks and feels like any modern email app — you compose, send, and receive emails normally. The encryption happens automatically in the background. There's nothing extra you need to learn or configure.
Yes. When you send to a Gmail or Outlook user, you can set a password on the email. They'll receive a link, enter the password you share with them, and read the message securely in their browser. No app install required.
Gmail's confidential mode just adds an expiry timer — Google still reads the email contents and holds the decryption keys. With Foxcolab, your email is encrypted before it ever leaves your device. The content is unreadable to everyone except you and your recipient.
Foxcolab provides a recovery key when you sign up. Store it safely — it's the backup way to access your account. Because we don't hold your encryption keys, we genuinely can't reset your password for you. This is a feature, not a limitation — it means nobody else can get in either.
