How to send a private email with Atomic Mail

With our private email app, encrypted communication is simple and intuitive for everyone.

1. Sign up for your private email account

Create a free private email account in a few seconds – no phone number, no personal info required. You’ll receive a unique seed phrase (or bring your own) for secure, user-controlled recovery.

2. Create email alias (optional)

Use free email aliases as extra addresses in your inbox. They help you organize mail, separate activities, and protect your main email address from spam and unwanted exposure

3. Compose and encrypt your message

Write your message. All connections default to TLS 1.3 for secure transit. For the ultimate protection, use our advanced end-to-end Atomic Encryption (works between Atomic Mail users). When emailing external recipients, choose password-protected messages or encrypt as a file to ensure end-to-end privacy for anyone, anywhere.

Read more in the security whitepaper and Atomic Encryption explained.

4. Set expiration time (optional)

By default, password-protected emails automatically self-destruct in 28 days for enhanced security. You can easily customize this and set any expiration time you want

5. Send private email

There’s nothing to set up manually. Just click ‘Send,’ and the system encrypts your email automatically. It’s the fastest and simplest way to send private email, giving you total peace of mind with zero effort

Our users say it better

I bounced around a few private email providers before landing here. Now I can finally send a secure file to a client without them getting confused or doing extra steps to open it. Atomic gives me private secure email for my business that is very reliable and easy to use.

Steve B.

Setup was fast and anonymous. Sending a password-protected message to a non-Atomic contact took seconds. Private encrypted email should be easy and quick, and here it is.

Sasha K.

I'm in the process of completely removing Big Tech from my life, and email was the last big step. I chose Atomic Mail as the best private email, because they're truly independent, own their servers and aren't beholden to anyone. The registration is private and encryption is so easy to use. It feels good to finally own my inbox.

Questions & Answers

How to create a private email account?

To create a private email account with Atomic Mail, just pick a username and set a password. No phone number, no backup email, no personal data required. For recovery, you’ll get a unique seed phrase (or set your own). The whole registration process takes less than a minute.

How to send private documents via email?

In Atomic Mail, your documents and attachments are encrypted together with the message whenever you choose end-to-end encryption. You can pick from three options: Atomic Encryption, password-protected email, or encrypting the message as a file. For password-protected messages, you can also set a custom expiry time, after which the email (and its attachments) will be deleted automatically.

What is the best private email service?

Look for strong end-to-end encryption, no phone number verification, and a zero-access policy. Atomic Mail stands out as one of the best free private email providers thanks to advanced security, user anonymity, a generous free plan, and simple, reliable tools.

How secure is Atomic encryption technology?

We use a zero-knowledge design: emails encrypt on your device, and we never have access to the encrypted data. Security is layered – ECIES for user-to-user messages and AES-256 for data at rest – anchored by a BIP39 seed phrase so you alone control recovery. Your private keys never leave your device. Read more in our blog post: Atomic Encryption explained.

Can I use private email services for business?

Absolutely. In fact, more companies are switching to private email providers like Atomic Mail to strictly protect their communication and client data. With private encrypted email, your messages and documents stay protected, aliases make it easier to manage roles and departments, and GDPR compliance helps you stay aligned with modern privacy regulations. Our upcoming Business Plan will further expand functionalities specifically for teams and professional use.

Is it legal to use a private email service?

Yes, completely. Using a private email service is simply a way to exercise your right to privacy, as long as you follow local laws and don’t use it for anything illegal. Private email providers like Atomic Mail exist to give you more control over your data, not to help you hide from regulations. We have a strict no-abuse policy, so activities like scams, phishing, and harassment are not tolerated.

Does Atomic Mail collect any personal data?

No. We don't collect personal data to create your account, and we don't profile your usage. There is no tracking, logging, or data mining. Our goal is to protect your data, not monetize it.

Is Atomic Mail a free private email provider?

Yes. Our core free private email offering isn’t going anywhere. Upcoming paid plans will add pro features for those who need them – no downgrades or feature removals for current users.

Stop compromising. Switch to a truly private email today

Still using Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo for sensitive conversations? Those inboxes are built to collect data, scan content, and monetize attention, not to protect you. If confidentiality is important to you, you shouldn't have to accept profiling and ad targeting.

With Atomic Mail, you get real private email:

Privacy comes standard: We use end-to-end encryption and a zero-access architecture. We couldn't read your encrypted emails even if we wanted to.
True anonymity: Create a private email account in seconds. We don't ask for your phone number, ID, or a backup email address.
Your business is yours: We don't track what you click, log where you log in from, or scan your inbox to build an ad profile.
Encryption, your way: sending sensitive info to someone on Gmail or Outlook? No problem. You can password-protect the email or encrypt it as a file so they can read it easily and securely.
AI that respects boundaries: Use our AI assistant to write, summarize, listen to emails, and much more. It helps you get work done faster and easier, but it never touches your encrypted messages.
Strictly compliant: We follow the toughest data protection laws in the world (GDPR), so you know your rights are actually respected.
Disappearing messages: Set a timer on your emails. Once the time is up, the message vanishes from both inboxes forever, leaving no trace.
Zero ads, zero clutter: No creeping tracking pixels and no banner ads. Just a clean, fast inbox for communication, not distraction.
Free unlimited storage: You shouldn't have to delete old emails just to make room for new ones. We offer unlimited space for free, so you never hit a storage limit or a paywall.
