MailMask
MailMask creates unique email aliases that forward incoming messages to an existing mailbox.
What MailMask is
MailMask creates unique email aliases that forward incoming messages to an existing mailbox. Users can create, disable, or remove aliases; disabling one immediately stops it from accepting new email. The service does not replace an email provider or function as a mailbox, and it cannot send messages from alias addresses. MailMask says it handles email only to forward messages and does not retain message content longer than technically necessary for delivery. It says its services run on European infrastructure, with data stored and handled exclusively within Europe. MailMask also says it does not use advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking, and does not sell or share user data with third parties. It operates under European law, including the GDPR, and says it is governed exclusively by European legislation. The Free plan is free for email aliases and forwarding; no price or usage limits are stated. MailMask describes the service as a personal risk-reduction layer, not for critical, account-recovery, or mission-critical communication. Availability is best-effort, not guaranteed uninterrupted.
