Tasks
<h3>Recommended</h3> <p>Some of these services are gratis, but that's a separate issue. Recall that "free software" refers to freedom, not price. <ul> <li><a href="https://openmailbox.org">OpenMailBox</a>: <strong>Runs explicitly on free software</strong>. Service started in June 2013.</li> <li><a href="https://posteo.de">Posteo</a>: <strong>Fully compliant with LibreJS's standards, but a bug in LibreJS causes the site to not work when the plugin is enabled. Does not work without JS</strong>. Credit card payments do not work.</li> <li><a href="https://riseup.net">Riseup</a>: Geared more toward activists - they have a manual screening process. Signup works with LibreJS. SquirrelMail (works without JS) can be used to access webmail, POP/IMAP clients can also be used. To access Squirrel mail, access the online mail client page, and select the "old webmail(squirrelmail only)" link.</li> <li>Some services will let you sign up and sign in without non-free JavaScript, and use IMAP/POP3 from a desktop program, but have broken webmail: <ul> <li><a href="https://kolabnow.com">Kolab Now</a>: Swiss based paid service focused on ensuring your privacy. Highly resistant to PRISM and similar programs. Runs on free software. Currently becoming LibreJS compliant.</li> <li><a href="https://mailnesia.com">Mailnesia</a>.</li> <li><a href="https://safe-mail.net">Safe-mail.net</a>.</li> <li><a href="https://vfemail.net">VFEmail</a> (uses google syndication, and captcha - both non-free).</li> </ul> </li> </ul></p> <p>For privacy purposes, you may sometimes want to use a disposable email address for one or a small number of messages. These disposable email services have been verified to work without proprietary JavaScript:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://10minutemail.com/">10 Minute Email</a></li> <li><a href="https://guerrillamail.com/">Guerrilla Mail</a></li> <li><a href="https://spamgourmet.com/">Spam Gourmet</a></li> </ul> <p> To ask about a mail service not listed here, or request corrections and updates, please send a mail to: monoverde at riseup dot net : with "Webmail System" in the subject line. </p> <h3>Not Recommended</h3> Systems we've investigated and found wanting. <ul> <li><a href="https://fastmail.fm">FastMail</a>: Sign up, sign in, and webmail all work smoothly. This is a paid service with a 60-day free trial. - UPDATE: was notified that this is not the case.</li> <li>Google <a href="https://gmail.com">Gmail</a>: You can sign in and use Gmail without non-free Javascript, but you have to make the account in a special way, through <a href="https://accounts.google.com/NewAccount">https://accounts.google.com/NewAccount</a>. This is an old sign-up form; the currently recommended sign-up form is no good, since it requires nonfree JavaScript code. But Gmail is run by Google and was specifically named as part of the PRISM spying program.</li> <li><a href="https://mail.ru">Mail.Ru</a>: Sign up, sign in, and webmail all work smoothly. BEWARE though - it is almost certainly under governmental surveillance, and likely does not respect privacy.</li> <li><a href="https://mail.yahoo.com/">Yahoo! Mail</a>: works without JS apparently, but you need JS enabled to create a yahoo account</li> <li><a href="https://mail.yandex.com/">Yandex Mail</a>: You can register and sign in with LibreJS enabled, but not send mail in the no-js interface. Also: looks to be Russian based, so almost certainly under surveillance.</li> <li>Microsoft <a href="https://outlook.live.com/owa/">Outlook.com</a> (@outlook.com, @live.com. Old emails: @hotmail.com, @msn.com): Requires nonfree Javascript.</li> </ul> <h3>Under Review</h3> These are systems either currently under review, or undergoing a status change. <ul> <li><a href="https://autistici.org">Autistici/Inventati (A/I)</a>: Sign up needs JS. They are working on becoming LibreJS compliant, but no ETA on this yet.<!--Mail sent to info@autistici.org, asking for account. Tried to start again - 2015-03-11 - couldn't use signup form. (2015-05-13) got response from their support people. They're working on making it compliant - but no promise on an ETA--></li> <li><a href="https://hushmail.com">Hushmail</a>: Site doesn't load without JS.<!--2015-01-15 - Site doesn't load without JS. Pretty much all blocked by LibreJS.--></li> <li><a href="https://mailbox.org">mailbox.org</a> JS needed to register or use system. <!--20161016--></li> <li><a href="https://mailoo.org">Mailoo.org</a>: <strong>Explicitly states it runs on free software. Currently French only - would appreciate help translating</strong>(registrations were closed as of 2017/01/25).</li> <li><a href="https://protonmail.ch">ProtonMail</a> JS needed to register or use system.<!--Get a message "JS must be enabled to encrypt and decrypt mail in the browser" (2015-05-12)--></li> <li><a href="https://tuffmail.com">Tuffmail</a>: Registration form didn't need Javascript, though an application attempt resulted in no actual account being created. Investigations continue.</li> <li><a href="https://tutanota.de">Tutanota</a>: Looks promising - they're working on becoming LibreJS Compliant.<!--2015-05-13 - LibreJS blocks pretty much all scripts on the page - js needed for registration. They do look keen on GPLv3 and security, as well as libre/freedom, so look promising. 2015-05-15 - had reply from hello@tutao.de (Arne) - they're working on it.--></li> <li><a href="https://unseen.is">Unseen</a>: Site doesn't load without JS.</li> </ul> <h3>Other</h3> Systems that don't fit conveniently into any category, but we've reviewed or processed them. <ul> <li><a href="https://mailinabox.email/">Mail-in-a-Box</a> is an easy-to-deploy GNU/Linux mail server so you can run your own webmail</li> <li><a href="https://mailcow.email/">mailcow</a> is a docker based GNU/Linux mail server</li> <!-- ian: i commented closed down stuff, no one cares. --> <!-- <li><a href="https://shortmail.com">Shortmail.com</a>: (closed down)</li> --> <!-- <li><a href="https://ruggedinbox.com">RuggedInbox.com</a>: (closed down)<strong>Signup is quick and works with LibreJS.</strong> SquirrelMail (works without JS) can be used to access webmail, POP/IMAP clients can also be used.(2016/07/20 - looks defunct. Times out)</li> --> <!-- <li><a href="http://sigaint.org/">SIGAINT</a> (closed down) <strong>Requires user to run TOR browser. Usable with LibreJS plugin activated, or JavaScript disabled.</strong> To use POP/IMAP services, users will need to upgrade to (paid) PRO package.</li> --> </ul>
