Frequently asked questions

  • Why isn’t StartMail free?

    There are plenty of so-called "free" email services, but they aren’t really free. In reality, most of those "free" email services so many people use are really market research tools designed to give you a place where you will unwittingly reveal a mountain of information about yourself that they can capture and use for their own purposes. These companies make their money from your personal information!

  • Why are payment details needed for a trial account?

    To prevent email abuse, we ask for payment details upon sign up. You can add a credit card or PayPal account. Learn more

  • Can I pay my subscription with a debit card?

    Most modern debit cards can nowadays be used for online transactions. Check with your card issuer if your card can be used for online transactions if you’re not sure.
