In their own words
Neir
Neir is an email service with webmail, a desktop app, support for standard mail clients, Tor access, and a no-JavaScript webmail option. It supports IMAP, POP3, and SMTP clients including Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and Outlook, and is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web. Webmail message-body copies and attachments are encrypted to the account’s OpenPGP key, but ordinary email is not end-to-end encrypted by Neir: incoming mail arrives over SMTP in the open, and the mail system processes plaintext and retains protocol-compatible mailbox copies. The open-source desktop app, licensed under AGPL-3.0, includes native notifications, automatic locking, and a local cache sealed with a key from the system vault. The Free plan costs nothing and includes a 10 MB mailbox and 10 random aliases; sending to addresses outside Neir requires Pro. Pro costs $4.99 a month and includes a 5 GB mailbox, unlimited aliases, and external sending. Signup does not require a legal name, phone number, recovery email, birth date, or ID. Neir is based in Sweden.
