Every email body is encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest. Incoming mail is encrypted within seconds. Karelia-to-Karelia emails are end-to-end encrypted with RSA-2048. Even if our servers are compromised, stored emails are unreadable ciphertext.
Services like Gmail and Outlook have access to your inbox. With Karelia, every email body is encrypted on disk: nobody can read them but you.
All email stored on our servers is encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Sent mail encrypted instantly. Incoming mail encrypted within seconds of arrival. Even if our server is breached, stored emails are unreadable ciphertext: not even we can read them.
We never scan your inbox, never run ads, and never sell your data. TLS encryption is enforced on all incoming and outgoing mail. Karelia Mail is funded by subscriptions: not by monetizing your privacy.
Your account is protected by a 24-word recovery phrase. Lose your password? Your phrase restores everything: no personal info required.
Create an account with just an email and password. We do not require phone numbers, identity verification, or personal details.
Powered by Postfix and Dovecot on standard SMTP/IMAP protocols. Use any email client: Thunderbird, Outlook, Apple Mail, or our web app.

All plans include AES-256-GCM encryption at rest. E2EE on Karelia-to-Karelia emails.
Most email providers can access your messages. Karelia Mail is different.
Choose email that is encrypted by default. No ads, no surveillance, no compromises.
Every email body is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using your personal mail key before it is written to disk. Even if our servers are compromised, all an attacker sees is encrypted ciphertext. Your key is stored in the Karelia Vault and only unlocked with your password: we have no way to access it.
Yes. When you send to someone on Gmail, Outlook, or any other service, they receive a normal plaintext email. Only your local copy stored on our servers is encrypted. Incoming emails from external senders are encrypted within seconds of arrival.
Your account is protected by a 24-word recovery phrase generated during registration. This phrase can restore your vault and set a new password. Karelia does not store your recovery phrase: keep it safe offline. Without it, your encrypted data is irrecoverable.
The free Starter plan includes 1 GB storage and 1 email address with full encryption. The Pro plan adds 10 GB mail storage, 5 email addresses, custom display names, and priority support. All plans use the same AES-256-GCM encryption: privacy is never a paid feature.
Both services provide encrypted email. Karelia Mail runs on standard open-source infrastructure (Postfix and Dovecot) with standard SMTP/IMAP protocols, so you can use any email client. Proton Mail uses a proprietary server stack. Karelia also offers a unified Vault system that manages all your encryption keys in one place.
Yes. When you email another @kareliaflow.com user, the email body is encrypted on your browser with their RSA-2048 public key before it ever leaves your device. The ciphertext travels through our servers and is only decryptable by the recipient's browser using their private key from the Karelia Vault. Our servers never see the plaintext: true zero-access encryption.
The Vault is Karelia's unified identity and encryption system. A single account holds all your cryptographic keys: mail, storage, business, identity: encrypted with AES-256-GCM. One password unlocks every Karelia service. No separate logins for different applications.
Mail storage is separate. Unlike Proton and Google where photos, files, and email compete for the same quota — your mail storage is exclusively for mail. When Karelia Storage launches, it gets its own allocation. Your inbox will never fill up because of a photo backup.
