TrustMyMail is a free and user-friendly email service. TrustMyMail protects you from spam through a powerful new method based on social networking.
The TrustMyMail method ensures that you only receive email from trusted parties, i.e., people who are close to you in the "social network". TrustMyMail learns about the social network from the email messages you send and receive over time. Messages from untrusted parties are subject to a challenge-response step, which you define. Think of it as an automated word-of-mouth.
TrustMyMail does not reject messages because of their content, so you do not have to worry about missing messages from your trusted parties because they happened to contain an unusual word or attachment. Instead, TrustMyMail ensures that you receive only messages from people who are close to you in the network of email interactions. We believe it is a more reliable way to keep irrelevant, annoying, and offensive information out of your mailbox!

New forwarding service:
It is now possible to use the trustmymail spam protection with any email account, so you can
continue to send and receive email in your familiar environment. For this, proceed as follows:
- Register your forwarding email address that you want to use to send and receive email in the Personal Data screen (you have to be logged in).
- Select "forwarding to external address" in the Mail Delivery screen, and validate the address through a confirmation email you will receive in your external account.
- For every email that you send from your external account, add ".trustmymail.com" to every TO/CC/BCC-address. So instead of sending an email to joe@yahoo.com, send it to joe@yahoo.com.trustmymail.com.
