📄️ Audriga - Your e-mail migration service
Information: The service of Audriga is only available in the packages Standard and Premium. This service is free for all our customers.
📄️ Can I use aliases with mailbox.org Guard
Our mailbox.org Guard will only ever use one active key pair for your account, namely the one marked “current” in the Guard PGP Settings. The same key will be used for all your e-mail aliases when you open any encrypted messages sent by other Guard users.
📄️ Changing the accounts main e-mail address
So you created a mailbox.org account and now you would like to change your main e-mail address? No problem at all – our developers have just added a feature that allows designating any existing alias as the account’s main e-mail address. The feature can be found in the account configuration section: After login, click on the cogwheel symbol in the upper right corner of the interface, and then go to “Settings → mailbox.org → E-Mail Aliases”. Once an alias has been created, it can then simply be selected as the account’s main address via the drop-down menu provided.
📄️ Data Synchronization - Overview
Our mailbox.org Office interface provides you with a number of different options for synchronizing your calendars, address book, e-mails, and files with your different devices. This overview is intended to help you select the right option for you. Here we list the synchronization methods for the different systems (though with some hard work, you may be able to find more… :-))

📄️ Do-It-Yourself Migration
If you would prefer not to use the Audriga migration service, you can also transfer your data to us yourself. There are a few things you will need to know.
📄️ Forgotten your password
As a provider of anonymous email inboxes, we are in the difficult position of not having any personal information about you other than what you voluntarily provide to us. Since we don't know whether you are using your username or a pseudonym, we need another way to verify that you are really the owner of the account for which you don't have the password. Sure - otherwise any third party could contact us to reset the password to e.g. your account.

📄️ How can I reset my Guard password
Unfortunately, you can’t.
📄️ How do I terminate my mailbox.org account?
A cancellation of your account is generally not necessary, as you have a fixed term according to your deposit and chosen plan. Once the term expires and you do not actively renew the contract, it will be automatically terminated. You can find the end of your term in your current contract. A refund or monetary compensation for the remaining term is not possible.

📄️ What is an alias and how do I use it
If you're seeking more flexibility in creating and managing email addresses or need specific addresses for particular purposes, consider using aliases at mailbox.org. They can assist you in effortlessly generating additional email addresses, thereby protecting your primary address from spam or misuse. Much like disposable addresses, with email aliases, you can permanently establish separate email addresses for specific use cases. We'll detail how this technically works and how it can enhance your privacy, security, and inbox organization.
📄️ When is a deleted address available again
Information: E-mail-addresses are being block for re-registration for 90 days in the Light-package, for at least 1 year in the Standard package and for at least 2 years in the Premium package.
📄️ Where is the logout button
For safety reasons, always log out when your mailbox.org Office account is not in use.
📄️ Why do I need to provide a name during registration
When you create a new account at mailbox.org, we do need a full name to process the registration. However, we won't actually check your identity at any time, hence stating an arbitrary pseudonym here will be sufficient. This means anonymous registration at mailbox.org is absolutely possible.
