Encrypted Email

Compartmented, encrypted email for identity isolation.

When to use

• Separate inboxes per identity/compartment.
• End‑to‑end encrypted messaging and metadata minimization.

When not to use

• As a magic shield against OPSEC mistakes.
• Mixing real‑name recovery info across compartments.

What to look for

• Strong E2EE support and open cryptography documentation.
• Custom domain options and aliasing for compartments.
• Minimal retention and clear jurisdiction/legal stance.
• Good IMAP/SMTP bridge (if needed) with local encryption guidance.

OPSEC tips

• Use aliases per site/service; never reuse across compartments.
• Disable remote images and tracking pixels.
• Use hardware keys for mailbox access where possible.

Common mistakes

• Using the same recovery phone/email across identities.
• Logging into multiple identities in the same browser profile.

Setup (generic)

1. Create a new mailbox for a single identity.
2. Enable 2FA (prefer hardware key).
3. Establish alias scheme: one alias per relying service.
