Security

Last updated: November 2026

Your email is personal, so we built Mailzo to keep it in your hands, not ours.

How Mailzo protects you

  • Your mail stays on your Mac, in an encrypted database. It's never sent to our servers.
  • Passwords live in the Mac Keychain, not in the app's database.
  • Your synced vault is end-to-end encrypted. It's locked with a key only your devices hold. New devices are linked only after you confirm a matching number on a device you already use.
  • Team data is encrypted with a team key our servers never see.
  • Touch ID lock, so nobody can open Mailzo on your Mac without you.
  • Encrypted email (OpenPGP), compatible with Thunderbird, Proton and GPG.
  • Tracker blocking: hidden tracking pictures are blocked, and tracking codes are removed from links.
  • Signed updates: every update is signed by us and checked by the app, so it refuses files from anyone else.
  • Open source: anyone can read the code and check these claims.

Reporting a security problem

If you think you've found a security problem in Mailzo, please tell us privately so we can fix it before anyone can misuse it.

  • Best: use Report a vulnerability on the Security tab of Mailzo's GitHub repository.
  • Or email: hello@getmailzo.com

Please include:

  • What you found
  • How to reproduce it
  • What someone could do with it

Please don't post it publicly, open a public issue, or access, change or delete anyone else's data while testing. Only test with your own accounts.

What we promise in return

  • We'll reply within [3 working days].
  • We'll keep you updated while we fix it.
  • We won't take legal action against you for research done in good faith under these rules.
  • With your permission, we'll thank you publicly once it's fixed.
