Our reason for being

Email shouldn't cost you
your privacy.

AirMail24 launched in 2026 with a stubborn idea: that everyday email could be private, affordable and pleasant to use — all at once. We're independent, subscription-funded, and we answer to the people who pay us: our members.

The problem

Free email was never really free

For two decades the deal was simple: hand over your inbox, and someone scans it to sell you things. Your most personal archive — receipts, tickets, conversations, password resets — became a feed for advertising.

We think that's a bad trade. So we built the opposite: an inbox funded entirely by the people who use it, engineered so that even we can't read what's inside.

The principle

If we can't see it, we can't lose it

Zero-access encryption isn't a feature we bolt on — it's the foundation. The less we can read, the less there is to leak, subpoena or sell.

It also keeps us honest. Good incentives beat good intentions, so we designed a system where doing the wrong thing simply isn't possible.

What we stand on

Four commitments we don't move on

01

Privacy is the default

You shouldn't have to be an expert to be protected. Strong settings ship switched on.

02

No ads, ever

We earn from subscriptions alone. Your inbox is never an advertising surface.

03

Open over locked-in

IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV, CardDAV, PGP. Your data is portable because standards are.

04

Plain-English honesty

We publish what we collect and why, in language you can actually read.

How we got here

A short history

We're a small, deliberately independent team. No growth-at-all-costs, no surveillance business model hiding in the next funding round.

Q1 '26

The first inbox

A handful of engineers and one frustration with "free" email ship the first private beta.

Q2 '26

Custom domains & apps

Native iOS and Android apps land, alongside one-click custom domain setup and the migration tool.

Q3 '26

Encrypted calendar

Calendar and contacts join the mailbox — encrypted, and syncing over open standards.

Today

Independent & growing

Still subscription-funded, still EU-hosted, and growing entirely by word of mouth.
