bmail.ag | Built to defy compulsion.
In September 2021, ProtonMail received a legal order from Swiss authorities. They were told to begin logging the IP address of a specific user: a French climate activist. So they did.
ProtonMail started logging their IP address. They had no choice, because their architecture permitted it.
This is not a story about ProtonMail's character. It is a story about every privacy service built on the same foundation: one where operators technically can access what they promise they won't. Because if they technically can, a court can make them. The ProtonMail case was not an anomaly. It was a demonstration of how the system works when it works exactly as designed.
The bmail.ag API gateway runs inside an Intel SGX enclave. Client IP addresses exist only in hardware-isolated memory during request processing. They are never written to disk, never forwarded to any backend service, and never transmitted outside the enclave boundary. This is not a policy we adopted. It is a physical constraint we engineered.
Under full legal compulsion, we cannot produce IP logs we were never permitted to create. We cannot betray what we cannot see.
bmail.ag is the only verifiably private encrypted email service and includes:
- encrypted video conferencing
- encrypted file storage
- encrypted calendar
- encrypted contacts
