Reasons to create a new, privacy-focused email
A privacy-focused email address can help reduce the amount of personal information you expose online and keep the messages you send confidential and only accessible between you and your recipients, protecting you from potential data breaches.
Creating a new email can also help reduce spam and unwanted marketing.
Keeping your main email address private and using a separate address for newsletters, shopping, sign-ups, and less trusted services means your primary inbox is less likely to become overloaded with promotional messages and reduces the risk of phishing attacks.
If you want to sign up to services without filling up your primary inbox or creating a new email account, then Internxt temporary email helps keep your email free from spam, marketing, and other unwanted emails.
If privacy is a priority, it is also worth considering how your email provider handles the contents of your messages.
Services such as Outlook, Gmail, and standard iCloud Mail generally do not provide end-to-end encryption for emails.
Messages are encrypted while being transmitted and stored, but the provider can generally access message contents because the service needs to process them on your behalf. If you want to send a secure email with Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo, there are steps or plans available, but by default, these emails don’t offer true privacy
This is different from true end-to-end encrypted email services, offered by Internxt Mail.
The same way Internxt’s encrypted cloud storage uses end-to-end encryption, Internxt encrypts your emails before it leaves your device, and only the intended recipient can decrypt them.
As Internxt does not hold the necessary keys to read the contents, it can never see your files or emails.
Creating a new email account with Internxt Mail combines private cloud storage, encrypted email, and much more, keeping your information private online.

Advantages of making a new, private email
Creating a new private email can provide several advantages beyond simply having another inbox. It can help protect your identity, reduce spam, limit tracking, and give you greater control over who has access to your personal information.
Anonymity and privacy
One major advantage is greater anonymity and privacy for your personal information. If you create a new email address with Internxt, you can use a pseudonym so you don’t reveal your real name when signing up for websites and online services. This makes it more difficult for companies, advertisers, and data brokers to link different accounts and activities back to you.
Reduce big tech surveillance
Another advantage is reducing tracking and profiling. Your email address is often used as an identifier across different services. Using a separate private address can make it harder for companies to build a detailed profile of your online activity.
Internxt Mail offers zero-knowledge encryption not offered by Gmail, Outlook, or iCloud Mail, which do not provide end-to-end encryption for personal emails, so they could technically access your emails and confidential messages.
Prevent data leaks
A separate email can also provide better protection against data breaches. If a website you registered with is hacked, the email address associated with that account may be exposed. Using a separate address limits the amount of information connected to your primary identity.
How to make a new email and keep it secure
When you create a new email with Internxt, the first thing to do to keep your email secure is to start with a strong, unique password or passphrase that is different from your other email accounts and store it in a reputable password manager.
Next, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Internxt account with your preferred authenticator app to add another layer of protection if your password is ever compromised.
To protect your Internxt account, it is crucial to download a backup key in case you forget your password. Due to Internxt’s zero-knowledge encryption, if you reset your password without the backup key, your files will be lost because Internxt does not have access to your password or the keys needed to decrypt your files.
Finally, learn how to identify phishing emails and suspicious links. Even the strongest email security can be undermined if you accidentally click on a malicious link.
Get secure, private, and encrypted email for life
Now that you know how to make a new email with Internxt, you can choose an Internxt lifetime plan and avoid subscriptions by getting cloud storage, VPN, Antivirus, and much more, all in one package!
Get 85% off your new private cloud storage with the option to split your payment plan with Klarna, or pay in privacy with cryptocurrency.
