Summary
Protect your email communication with end-to-end encryption (PGP). The secure envelope for emails, attachments and files (GDPR).
Mailvelope adds additional controls for secure end-to-end email encryption to your webmail client. Thus Mailvelope makes secure email with PGP easy and convenient - also for technical non-experts. Email attachments can be encrypted with just a few clicks.
Secure sending and receiving of emails is not limited to Mailvelope users. By using open standards, Mailvelope is compatible with all other PGP software. A simple setup process leads you directly to the generation of your own PGP key and automatically stores the public part on the Mailvelope key server. From now on, any other Mailvelope user (and many others) can reach you easily and securely without having to exchange the key beforehand.
Mailvelope offers consistent end-to-end encryption. All operations necessary for encryption and decryption are conducted on your end device. Therefore even the respective webmail provider will never see your messages in plain text.
The European GDPR demands strict data protection standards for sending personal information for commercial services. With Mailvelope you can easily comply with these requirements.
Since Mailvelope is compatible with almost all webmail providers, you don't have to change your email address to be able to communicate easily and securely. Services like Nextcloud, as well as the email backends of many cloud solutions (Bitrix24, Zoho, etc.) are compatible with Mailvelope and can be activated with a simple click.
Mailvelope works out of the box with all common webmail providers:
