PrivMail, also called PrivateMail, provides encrypted email and file storage, along with tools including a calendar, tasks, notes and email aliases. Email supports end-to-end OpenPGP encryption. Users can generate or import OpenPGP keys, which the service says remain on their devices rather than its servers. SecureShare encrypts files locally before upload, for recipients to download and decrypt locally. PrivateMail Files encrypts synced-folder contents with AES 256 encryption and supports desktop folder sync. Users can add external services such as Gmail, Outlook or Mail.com and manage OpenPGP security through PrivateMail. Optional mobile sync covers native Android and iOS contacts and calendars. PrivateMail says it does not log inbox logins or IP addresses when users access its mail services. It is listed for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. A free plan is available with a TorGuard subscription; it is webmail-only and includes 100mb email storage and 100mb file storage per month. Paid plan prices listed include $8.95 per month for Standard and $15.95 per month for PrivateMail Pro.
