What a free encrypted email plan should give you
Most “best free secure email” lists compare storage and stop there. These are the questions that decide whether a free account actually keeps your mail private.
| Check this | Why it matters | Secria Free |
|---|---|---|
| Same encryption as paid plans | Protection that depends on your plan leaves the people who pay least exposed. Free should mean less room, not less safety. | Yes, including post-quantum ML-KEM-1024. |
| Who holds the keys | If the provider holds your keys, it can read your mail, and so can anyone who forces it to. | You. Keys are made on your device and only reach our servers encrypted. |
| Phone number at signup | A phone number ties your private inbox back to your real identity. | Not asked for. |
| Card at signup | A card on file for a “free” plan is a trial waiting to bill you. | Not asked for. |
| Ads and profiling | Ads in the inbox mean someone is building a picture of you to sell against. | None. We don’t sell data. |
| Tracking pixels | Marketing emails hide tiny images that report back on you. What a tracking pixel is. | Removed automatically. Senders never see your IP address. |
| Bringing your old mail | Starting over from an empty inbox is the main reason people never switch. | Import MBOX and EML files from Gmail and other providers. |
| Getting back in | When only you hold the keys, you need a way back in that doesn’t depend on the provider. | A recovery phrase you save at signup. |

Free, and private too
Free email usually costs you something. This doesn’t.
Big free inboxes are secure from strangers, but the provider holds the keys. Here’s how to check whether your email is encrypted.
Your mail isn’t the product
No ads, no profiling, no selling your data. Paid plans keep the lights on, so the free plan never has to pay for itself with you.
Sealed the moment it lands
Stored mail is sealed with keys we never hold, so we can’t read it or produce its contents. That’s zero-access encryption.
Ready for quantum computers
Mail recorded today can be broken open later. Every free account gets ML-KEM-1024 with X25519, on by default. More on post-quantum email.

Questions about free encrypted email
Is there a truly free encrypted email?+
Yes. Secria’s free plan is a plan, not a trial, and it doesn’t need a card. It includes 1 GB, 2 aliases, 3 folders and the same encryption as every paid plan.
Is free encrypted email safe?+
It depends on who holds the keys and whether the free plan gets the full encryption. With Secria, your keys are made on your device, stored mail is sealed with keys we never hold, and free accounts get the same post-quantum encryption as paid ones.
Do I need a phone number to sign up?+
No. You don’t need a phone number or a credit card to create a free Secria account. Pick an address, set a password and save your recovery phrase.
How can encrypted email be free?+
People who want more storage, custom domains or the Secria VPN pay for Mail Plus or Pro. That pays for the free plan. There are no ads and we don’t sell data, on any plan.
Is Gmail encrypted?+
Gmail encrypts mail in transit and on Google’s servers, but Google holds the keys. That protects you from strangers, not from the provider. With zero-access encryption, the provider can’t read your stored mail at all. More in Is Gmail private?
Can I bring my old email?+
Yes. Export your mail from Gmail or another provider as MBOX or EML files and import it on any plan, as far as your storage allows. MBOX and EML files are read in your browser and never reach our servers.
