OwnMail
What it is
OwnMail is an encrypted email service with user-controlled keys and an AI assistant. The service says messages use hybrid RSA and ML-KEM-768 encryption, and users can create unlimited aliases for sending and receiving. The assistant answers natural-language questions about the inbox, and AI features can be disabled. OwnMail says its AI operates within the encrypted mailbox and does not train on users’ data. A free account provides an @ownmail.ai address and 1 GB of encrypted storage; the free tier has limits on assistant history and daily queries. Essential costs $4.99/mo and includes 10 GB of searchable encrypted history, while Pro costs $9.99/mo and includes 50 GB. Users can export or delete their data and download a mailbox in standard formats. The service lists a 200 MB maximum attachment size and a Gmail import tool that transfers messages and maps labels to folders. On Android and iPhone or iPad, it installs from a browser as a Progressive Web App that works offline, with biometric unlock available.
