In their own words
CounterMail
CounterMail is an email service that applies encryption automatically and says each message is encrypted before leaving the user's computer. It supports communication with OpenPGP-compatible email users and provides an IMAP server for third-party email clients. Premium subscriptions include 4 GB of encrypted storage per mailbox, with additional storage available for a one-time fee. Other listed tools include dynamic aliases, filters, notifications, an autoresponder, password manager, secure forms, and an XMPP chat server. CounterMail lists SSL-MITM protection, diskless web servers, SSL encryption and authentication, and anonymous email headers. Its privacy policy says it does not log IP addresses and keeps email bodies and attachments encrypted; its servers are in Sweden, as is the maker's headquarters. The service supports Android, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Pricing is listed from $3.29/user/mo, with a 10-day trial for people who already know a CounterMail user. New registrations are closed.
QeyeT
QeyeT combines email, chat, calendar and meetings for personal and organizational use. It supports Android, iOS, Linux, web and Windows, and offers custom domains and encrypted calendars. Mail between QeyeT addresses is encrypted for recipients’ devices, but messages sent to Gmail or Yahoo use the normal internet mail system and are not described as end-to-end encrypted. Mail includes folders, search, rules, rich compose, secure links and delivery receipts. Calendar supports events, RSVP and one-tap Teams joining; chat includes one-to-one and group messages, voice and video calls, files and voice notes. Authorized devices store mail, chat, contacts and calendar state in encrypted local vaults. Six recovery words can restore identity on a new device, but cannot restore history deleted from all devices and backups. A free preview is listed, though pricing details vary across plan listings. Organizations can request a scoped pilot with terms defined together. QeyeT says independent review, testing and formal operational work remain necessary before it represents the product as enterprise-certified.
