Private email for people who value their identity.
gotid.org is a small, independent email service run by a group of volunteers in Germany. We operate on the principle that email infrastructure should be simple, private, and community-driven. We don't serve ads, we don't sell data, and we don't profile our users.
Accounts are available by invitation only. We keep the service intentionally small to ensure quality, deliverability, and personal support for every member.
What you get
Standard IMAP/SMTP
Works with Thunderbird, Apple Mail, K-9 Mail, FairEmail, or any client that supports IMAP. No proprietary bridges or plugins needed.
10 GB Storage
Per-mailbox quota with no artificial attachment size limits. We don't compress or scan your mail content.
Aliases
Create disposable aliases on the fly. Give each service a unique address. Disable them when they attract spam.
No IP Logging
We strip originating IP addresses from outbound mail headers. Connection logs are rotated every 24 hours.
