Startmail

https://support.startpage.com/index....s-do-you-offer

Startpage and Ixquick are known as search engines that don't track their users.
I imagine their email will have an accent on privacy.

Just FYI, there's another thread mentioning this.

Fingers crossed they're just around the corner and we can have a try of them?!

I signed up as a beta tester quite a while back, but haven't heard anything further from them, except a welcoming email to the beta testers group. Hope the testing will begin soon.

I also signed up as a beta tester a couple of months ago, but I have heard nothing from them at all. I did not receive the 'welcoming email' that you received. I wonder if my registration was properly enrolled.

LATER NOTE AND CORRECTION -- I owe an apology to Startmail. After checking further among old messages, I found that they did indeed send an acknowledgment of my enrollment last June, and I wanted to correct the mistake.

Glad you found the confirmation email and hope we'll soon be testing the new service!

I experimented with a Startpage search - but what does it mean when it offers you an option of "View by Ixquick Proxy"? Does that mean that the site will not know that it's you who's visiting? What if you posted something on the site?

1) This thread is about Startmail, the new mail service from Startpage/Ixquick that is about to begin beta testing. I hope we can prevent this thread from becoming a confused mixture of posts relating to Startmail and those relating to the Startpage and Ixquick search engines, otherwise the thread will quickly become muddled and less useful.

2) Your question can be at least partially answered if you return to the Startpage site and click on some of the informational material. The answer to your question is fairly simple but involves several components; and, as noted above, neither the question nor the answer really belongs in this thread. Please revisit the Startpage site and see if it provides adequate clarification for you. If not, then let's start another thread (which may belong in the off-topic forum since it is not directly concerned with email).

Later edit -- I now see that the thread does indeed include posts that mention the search engines, so perhaps the two topics can be blended here after all. I do suggest, however, that you search the forum for earlier threads dealing with the search engines first. I believe a link to one such thread is provided above by somebody.

I wish that I had gotten in on the beta testing. Alas, I must wait. However, I do wonder where the servers are located.

I can't find this information. Has anybody figured it out?

enlisting to the beta test phase has been closed, you'll have to wait until they roll out the service to the general public.

I haven't received my beta tester invitation yet, so I think the general roll-out is still a while away.

I signed up fr the beta testing but nothing happened except from that welcome email. My question "Has anybody figured it out?" was referring to "I do wonder where the servers are located".

Got you now! No idea where their mail servers would be located. But regardless of where they would be located, they'd be subject to some legislation, so I'm eagerly looking forward to see where, and how they can justify the "private" part of startmail's claim. We'll just have to wait and see...

EDIT: in terms of privacy, they're good going already!! (sarcastically) gstatic & godaddy stuff gets loaded when visiting the page.
