隐私和加密(Encryption)是人们开始研究每个软件和服务的两个重要功能。您是否可以证明这一点并不重要，但大多数电子邮件服务都以一种或另一种方式进行跟踪。他们可能不会阅读您的电子邮件，但他们肯定会根据关键字对您进行分析。所以今天，我们谈论的是Mailfence。它是一种私密且安全的电子邮件服务，旨在确保您的电子邮件保持私密。
在我们开始之前，Mailfence提供付费和免费电子邮件服务。在这篇文章中，我们谈论的是免费服务。
Mailfence 提供私人(Private)和安全的电子邮件服务(Secure Email Service)
免费计划(free plan)提供 500 MB 的电子邮件、另外 500 MB 的文档、1000 个日历事件、一个Mailfence组(Mailfence Group)和双因素身份验证。以下是您应该了解的功能列表：
- 隐私和安全
- 邮围集团
- 用户界面
- 文档编辑和文件共享
- 具有轮询(Polling)功能的日历事件
1]隐私和安全
这是适用于所有型号的功能的完整列表。它是构建服务的基础。我喜欢的是他们保持最新的透明度和保证报告。比利时法院只约束他们。
- 没有跟踪和广告
- 没有第三方访问您的数据
- 使用AES-256 / OpenPGP端到端加密 ( E2EE )加密电子邮件
- 数字签名
- 严格(Strict)的隐私法和透明度(Transparency)。
- 集成密钥库
- 两因素身份验证
重要的是电子邮件和消息传输是如何发生的。所有通信都通过Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) encryption通过其服务器。只要接收服务器支持TLS ，您发送的电子邮件就会保持安全。
2] Mailfence 安全组
这是一个有趣的功能，允许您与其他Mailfence用户创建一个组，然后安全地共享电子邮件、(securely share emails,)文档、日历事件、联系人、与组成员聊天等。您可以在免费版本中创建一个组。( create one group in the free version.)
您可以配置每个成员如何管理数据。群组成员的默认权限是可以查看所有文件夹和数据共享，但不能添加或删除任何内容。当您想与多人共享而不会产生任何噪音时，它很有用。
3]用户界面
Web 界面足够好，它提供了人们可以期待的所有基本功能。您可以访问电子邮件、文档、顶部日历、类似 Outlook 的收件箱、通讯录等。在我短暂的测试中，界面构建得很整齐，应该适合几乎所有人。如果使用它来管理电子邮件和文档，它还支持标签。
4]文档编辑(Document Editing)和文件共享(File Sharing)
它支持大多数办公文档，包括 .txt、.docx、.xlsx、.pptx。虽然他们的常见问题解答(FAQ)说您可以创建它们，但我猜只有当您付费时才会这样做。在自由模式下，您可以编辑文本文档。除此之外，还可以使用基本的文件操作，如创建副本、标记文档、搜索文件。
您可以在计算机上离线访问这些文件。该服务支持虚拟(Virtual)驱动器功能。您将获得一个唯一的URL，您可以在浏览器中输入该 URL，然后提供您的用户名密码。然后，您可以从此处添加、删除和删除文件。
如果您使用Dropbox、Google Drive，也可以连接到这些服务并附加文件。
5]具有轮询(Polling)功能的日历(Calendar)事件
就像任何其他电子邮件服务一样，您确实会收到日历事件，但使其脱颖而出的是添加了轮询功能。创建活动后，您可以添加多个时间段并让人们投票。得票最高的将成为最终时间表。当然，你总是可以改变的。
Mailfence Private and Secure Email Service看起来像是一项出色的服务，它为可以使用 Web 界面的人们提供免费套餐。如果您计划在希望所有对话安全的工作中，您可以毫无顾虑地使用此服务。当然，免费版本会有一些限制，但如果它适合你，你可以随时升级。您可以在Mailfence.com上查看。
演示版
该公司还提供了一个演示版本，您可以使用它来探索所有功能。对于那些不想将他们的电子邮件 ID 泄露给其他服务的人来说，这一点很重要。您可以通过在用户名字段中输入“demoen”和在密码字段中输入“demoen”来试用他们的演示版本。
Mailfence review: Offers Private and Secure Email Service for everyone
Privacу and Encryption are two signifіcant feаtures that people have started lookіng into every software and sеrvіce. It doesn’t matter if уou can prove it, but most of the email services are tracked in one way or the other. They might not be reading your email, but they are definitely profilіng yoυ bаsed on keywords. So today, we are talking about Mailfence. Its a private and secure email service that wants to make sure that your emails remain private.
Before we start, Mailfence offers both paid and free email service. In this post, we are talking about the free service.
Mailfence offers Private & Secure Email Service
The free plan provides 500 MB for emails, another 500 MB for documents, 1000 calendar events, one Mailfence Group, and two-factor authentication. Here is the list of features you should know about:
- Privacy and Security
- Mailfence Group
- User Interface
- Document Editing and File Sharing
- Calendar Events with Polling feature
1] Privacy and Security
Here is the full list of features available for all models. It is the base on which the service has been built. What I liked is that they have maintained up-to-date transparency and warrant report. The Belgian courts only bind them.
- No tracking and advertising
- No third-party access to your data
- Encrypted e-mails using AES-256 / OpenPGP end-to-end encryption (E2EE)
- Digital signatures
- Strict privacy laws and Transparency.
- Integrated Keystore
- Two Factor authentication
What is important is how the email and message transmission takes place. All communications go through their servers via Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) encryption. Your sent email remains secure as long as the receiving server supports TLS.
2] Mailfence Secure Group
It is an interesting feature that allows you to create a group with other Mailfence users and then securely share emails, documents, calendar events, contacts, chat with group members, and so on. You can create one group in the free version.
You can configure how each member can manage the data. The default rights for group member is that they can see all the folders, and data share, but they cannot add or delete anything. It is useful when you want to share with multiple people without anything creating a noise.
3] User Interface
The web interface is decent enough, and it offers all the basic features one can expect. You get access to email, documents, calendar on top, an Outlook-like inbox, contacts book, and so on. In my brief period of testing, the interface is neatly built and should be suitable for almost everyone. It also supports tags if one uses it to manage emails and documents.
4] Document Editing and File Sharing
It supports most of the office documents which includes .txt, .docx, .xlsx, .pptx. While their FAQ says that you can create them, but I am guessing that’s only when you pay for it. In the free mode, you can edit text documents. Apart from this, basic file operations like creating a copy, tagging a document, searching for files are available.
You can access these files on your computer offline. The service supports the Virtual drive feature. You will get a unique URL which you can enter in the browser and then provide your username password. You can then add, emove and delete files from here.
If you use Dropbox, Google Drive, it is possible to connect to those services as well and attach files.
5] Calendar Events with Polling feature
Just like any other email service, you do get calendar events, but what makes it stand out is the addition of the polling feature. Once you create an event, you can add multiple time slots and let people vote. The one with the highest vote becomes the final schedule. Of course, you can always change.
Mailfence Private and Secure Email Service look like an excellent service that offers the free tier for people who can live with the web interface. If you are planning for work where you want all conversations to be secure, you can use this service without any worries. Of course, you will have limitations with the free version, but you can always upgrade if it’s working out for you. You can check it out at Mailfence.com.
Demo Version
The company also offers a demo version that you can use to explore all the features. It’s important for those who do not want to let out their email ID to another service. You can try out their demo version by entering “demoen” on the username field, and “demoen” on the password field.
