I'm truly satisfied with the price... I was also able to migrate my data from Gmail to Mailfence very easily. Oh and one more thing, I really liked their slogan- Privacy is a right, not a feature. > > **Cons**: Some quality-of life changes are missing, though I'm sure their team is working on it. ----- ### "Stable and impressive service." — 5.0/5 > **Lars** | *1 September 2024* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the flexibility of use. The IMAP service is very stable. I also like the subaddressing feature. > > **Cons**: The spam filter is not perfect. It's good, but not perfect. Also, the search interface of the webmail could be more flesible. > > I am very happy with Mailfence and its staff. It is very easy to talk to a real person and get help with problems. ----- ### "Secure emailing" — 3.0/5 > **Nikhil** | *29 December 2019* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1) Wordpress plugins and also a software that can easily be secured enough to send and receive private emails. Best in class for sending out emailers and having calendars marking stuff > > **Cons**: 1) The problems in this app are next to negligible and i would not also want to name them just as a gesture for the great work they have done > > 1\) With the plugin i was able to easily know what is going wrong in my wordpress site email based ----- ### "Using mailfence as an alternative to gmail has been a pleasant surprise, and generally great." — 5.0/5 > **Zach** | *7 November 2022* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that this was set up in a way that was somewhat familiar to me as a gmail user, but I felt the UI was a bit better set up, with better visuals, colors, and menu layouts. It's the little things that went a long way for me that I really appreciated compared to gmail, which can be too monochrome at times. > > **Cons**: It took a bit of time to learn how to use this email platform seamlessly, especially after being a longtime gmail user. I got over this fairly quickly though, and now I use it regularly, and have no user issues. > > I started using mailfence last year because I really wanted an alternative to gmail, which was starting to get tiresome to use. I was attracted to mailfence due to its attractive UI, and its high security promise (it's in the name\!). So far, everything has been great, and I use this as a secondary email account that works fantastically. ----- ### "Finally, a truly private email service, that a layman can understand" — 5.0/5 > **Manuel** | *7 July 2023* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Well, several things\! Among the top ones:- It's an encrypted mail service: Anything coming in or going out is reasonably protected from snooping. The beauty of it is that, even if your communications are intercepted somehow, they are heavily encrypted so they just can't be read.- Servers are hosted in Europe: That means Mailfence abides by the GDPR, the world's most advanced legislation on data protection. If any government agency wants your Mailfence data, it has to be via a valid court order (it's not like that at all in the US and many other countries\!)- They are super honest and open: They are crystal-clear on what the service can do, and what it can't do. They are against the "fine print" policy that so many Big Tech firms are so fond of.- They go the extra mile to simplify the very complex and techical terminology of email security, so that the layman (such as myself) can clearly understand the pros and cons of using the service, and what it does and doesn't do. > > **Cons**: Not really a lot to dislike, to be honest\! I mainly use the email features, and so far they work just fine\! > > 5-star experience. Totally worth a try\! They even have a free plan, so there is zero risk in trying it out. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/365312/mailfence?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/365312/mailfence) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
