Automatic PGP Encryption

05 February 2012

We've recently added the ability to automatically encrypt all your incoming messages to your PGP key before saving them to disk.

This way you can ensure that your messages saved on the server are encrypted at all times.

Note however that many email programs won't be able to search the contents of encrypted messages very easily. Also remember that if you lose the PGP private key needed to decrypt the messages, you will not be able to recover your messages, and neither will we!

Automatic PGP encryption applies only to incoming messages, and will not currently encrypt the contents of your Drafts and Sent mail folders. It also does not apply to messages larger than 1MB in size.

If you'd like us to enable automatic PGP encryption of incoming messages for your account, just contact us with the PGP public key you'd like the messages encrypted with, and we'll get this set up for you.

If you'd like to enable automatic PGP encryption of incoming messages only for specific addresses at your subdomain or domain (or for all except certain addresses), we can set that up too.

Important Account Changes

07 November 2010

We've recently integrated the accounts and control panels for the Offshore Privacy Combo accounts which have a 5GB or greater monthly data limit.

Previously for these accounts, the control panel for Secure Email was separate from the one for Anonymous Surfing, and the passwords could be different as well.

Now, the password for the web control panel is also used for Anonymous Surfing access, and the previous control panel for email is now the control panel for both Secure Email and Anonymous Surfing

If you have an Offshore Privacy Combo account with a 5GB or greater monthly data transfer limit, and your web control panel password is different from your Anonymous Surfing password, you will not be able to use Anonymous Surfing with your Anonymous Surfing password, which has been retired. You should now use your web control panel password to access Anonymous Surfing.

If you have any questions, or have trouble using the Anonymous Surfing service, please feel free to contact us.

Enhanced Webmail

13 September 2010

We're pleased to announce the immediate availability of a new, significantly enhanced webmail system for all Swiss hosted Offshore Secure Email accounts. The old webmail systems are still available should you need to use them.

US hosted email accounts don't currently have access to the new webmail system, but this will be made available as soon as possible.

Website Overhaul

23 August 2010

We've just switched over to our new website, completely redesigned to offer better readability, navigation and usability. We'll also be adding many new install guides very soon, and updating the existing guides to reflect the newest versions of mail reader and browser software.

The Neomailbox Switzerland website remains in the old design for now - it will change to the new design in a few weeks.

NL Accounts Update

11 March 2010

This is an important update to let you know that we are migrating all Netherlands hosted Neomailbox accounts to Switzerland.

The switch will occur on 22nd March 2010. All services will continue to operate the same as before, and no configuration changes will be required.

The reason for the move to Switzerland is that the Netherlands is part of the EU, and therefore bound by the EU data retention directive, which requires Internet service providers to keep records of their users' Internet activity.

Being a privacy oriented service provider, Neomailbox will not be complicit in such a violation of customers' privacy.

The legal framework in Switzerland, which is independent of the EU, is one of the most privacy oriented in the world, and we are very excited to be able to offer our full range of services hosted in Switzerland.
