ToggleMail privacy

Last updated 15 November 2026. This covers the ToggleMail app on every platform: Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, Android, iOS and Chromebook.

The short version

ToggleMail does not collect, sell or share anything about you. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking. We never see your email.

Your email

ToggleMail connects straight from your device to the mail services you add, such as Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, PhoneMail or your own domain. Your messages travel between your device and that service over an encrypted connection. They do not pass through any server of ours.

Your passwords

Account passwords stay on your device, in the system keychain where there is one, or in the app's private storage where there is not (for example on Android). They are only sent to the mail service they belong to.

What stays on your device

Your account settings, the folders you open, cached message lists, saved attachments and your preferences (such as which senders may show pictures) are kept on your device. Removing an account or uninstalling the app deletes them.

Changing a password

For addresses on shankars.org, jaiaditya.org, knkoa.org and toggleminds.com, the "change password" option sends your old and new password to that mail server, so it can update your account. Nothing is kept beyond the change itself.

Pictures in emails

Pictures from outside an email are blocked until you choose to show them. When you do, your device fetches them from the sender's servers, and the sender may see that the message was opened.

Children

ToggleMail is a general email app, not made for children.

Open source

ToggleMail is free and open source under the GPL. You can read every line of it on GitHub.
