Mailfence is a web-based email service that offers OpenPGP based end-to-end encryption and digital signatures. It was launched in November 2013 by ContactOffice Group, which operates an online collaboration suite for universities and other organizations since 1999.
In the midst of 2013, right after the massive global mass surveillance disclosure, the founders of ContactOffice felt there was a strong need for a dedicated platform that will allow users to regain their email privacy and easy to use security mechanisms. In March 2016, the company released the BETA version of their end-to-end encryption and digital signatures for emails.
Unlike some other secure email services, Mailfence is more of a groupware offering secure email but also Calendar, Contacts, Instant Messaging and File sharing functions.
The service supports /IMAP and Exchange ActiveSync as well as vanity domains. Users can send both plain and rich text emails, organize messages in folders and/or categorize them with tags, set default message signatures, create aliases and use plus addressing to apply filters to inbound messages.
The contacts support (CSV, vCard, LDIF) import, (vCard, CSV, PDF) export, creation and modification of contacts. Users can create contact lists and organize them with tags.
The calendar supports vCal/iCal import and export. User can share their calendar with group members and can also create polls.
