Comments & Questions

Your privacy is our concern
"Hi! As I'm looking for a new email provider, I've got a few questions - where do you host your service? Do you run your own servers or have you rented space from others? In which countries are your servers, and how is the law there regarding to the privacy of users? (f.e., are there any government agencies that you're required by law to give access to accounts?)

OpenMail.cc is hosted at niXtech.net in Denmark. We take our own privacy very seriously and we have the same high regard for the privacy of our users. No government agencies have ever required access to any OpenMail.cc accounts.

What happened to the "Quarrantine" function?
The "Quarrantine" function was a part of the webmail client which I developed, and which has now been replaced by roundcube. I am working on improving my webmail, and will possibly re-introduce it some time in the future.

User Comments
I just created a new account and all worked well, both sending and receiving. Thank you for your great work, openmail.cc is exactly the email service I was looking for: simple and extremely clear.

User Comments
Thanks for your hard work in improving this service, It is appreciated!

OpenMail.cc changes service provider
Today the long awaited change took place, and OpenMail.cc is now hosted at http://www.niXtech.net. The change means that OpenMail.cc is now hosted on more powerful servers, with greater bandwidth. All this should improve response time, and give OpenMail.cc users a better email experience.

I wanted to send a personal thank you
I wanted to send a personal thank you for creating and sharing such a basic e mail service. This is what I was looking for years ago. It is so efficient and easy to navigate, you have done a superb job of building this. The fact that it is not associated with big business is even better. Just perfect.

Android phones
Does openamil.cc work with my Android phone?

Yes, openmail works with Android. See the "Server settings" for more information.

Sending with Mozilla Thunderbird
I am having trouble sending mail with Thunderbird. Could you let me know what settings I should use?

Mozilla Thunderbird should find the settings automatically, but if not, you can find the information under "Server settings"

Forwarding
Do you offer forwarding so I can store a duplicate of my mail elsewhere? BTW: Great service

Yes, I do have forwarding, but it will send your mail to another address, without putting it in your openmail inbox. That means you won't have a duplicate.

Openmail.cc is email the way it should be
I've been following the thread on the email discussion forum, and I'd just like to comment on how pleased I am that you switched to the IMAP version of openmail.cc. Naturally, it is a beta version and there will be bugs to be worked out, but for me, it's working three times better than it ever was before. The reason is because I'm using it with the Thunderbird email client on the Linux Mint OS. Thunderbird effortlessly detected openmail.cc and adjusted the settings flawlessly. Sending and receiving has so far worked impeccably. I dislike the current trend among Internet users towards cloud computing and, therefore, I'm equally pleased that I can now read, compose, and operate my email off-line. I never use the web-mail user interface now-days, and I've only gotten on it a few times. If you'd like, though, I can point out several bugs in it, but with Thunderbird email client, I'm perfectly satisfied with openmail.cc for all my needs. Thank you again for the many hours of work you have put in making this, free, no-advertising email. Openmail.cc is email the way it should be.
