SECURITY

Security you can verify

MinuteMail is designed from the ground up with privacy and security as first principles — not afterthoughts.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

We never read, index, or mine your emails. Data exists only in volatile memory for the duration of your session.

Automatic Data Destruction

When your inbox timer expires, all emails, metadata, and session data are permanently destroyed. No backups, no archives for users.

TLS Everywhere

All connections — browser to server, SMTP inbound — are encrypted with modern TLS. Your emails never travel in plain text.

No Tracking, Ever

We don't use cookies, analytics, browser fingerprinting, or any third-party trackers. Your visit is invisible.

No Personal Data Required

No sign-up, no name, no phone number, no verification. Get a mailbox with zero personal information.

Self-Hosted Infrastructure

Our entire stack runs on dedicated infrastructure we fully control. No shared cloud, no third-party email processing.

Open SMTP Pipeline

Emails are received via a custom SMTP server, parsed in-memory, and delivered via WebSocket. No disk writes for active sessions.

Session-Based Auth

Authentication uses secure, httpOnly cookies with bcrypt hashing. No JWT tokens exposed to client-side JavaScript.

Rate Limiting & Abuse Prevention

Built-in rate limiting, IP banning, and domain blocklists protect the platform from abuse while keeping it free for everyone.
