I wanted to open a FREE Mailfence account, I followed the steps and pasted the activation code from my recovery email, and got the infamous error. "Sorry, the registration failed for at least one of the." So I waited over a day and tried again with Gmail as my recovery account, same error.

Two critical PHP vulnerabilities shook the internet last week. Known as “PHP2Shell”, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 let attackers run code on web servers without even logging in. If you’ve seen the headlines, you’re probably wondering whether your email is safe. Your Mailfence account is not affected.

When new emails stop appearing in Outlook, it’s not always obvious where the problem lies. Messages may be going to the wrong folder, a filter could be hiding them, or a storage limit may be preventing new mail from coming through. Sometimes, Outlook simply stops syncing properly.

At a glance The EU Kids Act is a proposed regulation that would ban social media accounts for children under 13, limit 13- and 14-year-olds to supervised accounts, and require platforms to prove their services are safe by design. Age checks are meant to use zero-knowledge proofs so platforms learn only yes or no.

Most delivery problems between two specific accounts come down to a filter rule, a category tab, or the sender's domain failing authentication. A quick way to split the problem: send yourself a test from a different account. If it lands, your inbox is working and the issue is more likely on the sender's side.

I use my mailfence email every day - it is my primary email. I went to login this morning and it says my account is up for deletion due to inactivity. Conveniently, I can pay for service to stop the process. Support? Apparently free users don't get it.

Per TechCrunch and The Register, Revolut confirmed on 12 September that it disclosed customer information after receiving fraudulent requests from an email account on a legitimate government agency domain. Because the emails passed domain authentication, they were treated as genuine.

At a glance Think about what you have typed into an AI chat box over the past month. A symptom you did not want to look up in front of anyone. A draft email to your boss. A question about your child’s school.

At a glance Most iPhone email problems are not caused by messages disappearing. More often, the issue comes from the way your iPhone syncs with your email account, an expired sign in session, or notification settings that prevent new messages from appearing as alerts.

According to ABC News and CNN, an OpenAI research agent got past blocks on Australia's Medicare statistics portal on 18 June and accessed both public and restricted files. OpenAI says it found the activity in August during an internal review and notified the government on 10 September, by emailing a public mailbox.

Validity's latest deliverability benchmark puts inbox placement for legitimate commercial email at 87.2%, meaning roughly one in eight messages go missing or land in spam. In practice, most "I never got it" tickets seem to come down to a handful of things: aggressive spam filtering, category tabs, a forgotten rule or…

September brought a series of warnings about what happens when AI systems are given access to the internet, corporate tools, or real-world data. An OpenAI research agent accessed public and non-public files on an Australian government statistics portal, while Google said Gemini accessed three real companies during a…

After using mailfence for 3 years today I got this message. I never spammed anybody and I've been using my account on a daily basis, I don't send multiple emails Please help.

Private AI is not a friendlier setting on a public chatbot. It is a boundary you can point to: the model runs on a machine you control or on a host built so operators are not supposed to see your prompts. Most pages stop at “we don’t train on your data.” That is one question.

Most conduct rules require lawyers to take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized disclosure of client information. GDPR adds mandatory breach notification and fines on top. Meanwhile, the majority of client correspondence still travels as plain text between mail servers.

At a glance: Does Gmail support POP3? Yes, but only in one direction, while Google is closing the other. You can still download Gmail messages into Thunderbird, Outlook, Apple Mail, or another compatible email client using Gmail’s POP server.

The biggest issue with encrypted email in legal practice is not encryption itself. It is the recipient experience. Portal-based solutions make clients create accounts and reply inside a third-party system. Most clients just stop using it.

At a glance: Dropbox has more than 700 million registered users because it is simple, syncs well, and already lives on every device you own. But is it safe to put something confidential in there? On most plans the answer is mixed.

Law firms are high-value targets: financial records, medical histories, privileged strategy documents, all flowing through email. The ABA's own data shows about a third of firms have experienced a breach, and phishing is the most common way attackers get in across all industries.

Most missing Gmail messages are not gone at all. They may be waiting in Promotions, sitting in Spam, or being moved by a filter before you ever see them. Other messages never reach your account, and that requires a different fix.

I have several thousand messages stored in IMAP folders in my Mailfence account. I am switching from mailfence soon and want to copy all those messages to my local machine and then delete them from the Mailfence server My OSX Mac Mail client shows from 7-140 fewer messages in each IMAP folder than the server shows…

Privilege protects communications legally, but it does nothing technically. A standard email can be intercepted at any hop between sender and recipient. TLS only covers each link in the chain, and only when both sides support it.

Hi I am not receiving from a specific domain. Ive sent an email to [ support@mailfence.com ](mailto: support@mailfence.com ) "Hello, Did you check the Spams folder? Do you know you can deactivate the anti-spam filter and add domains or addresses in the white list in Settings > Messages > Filters? Should worth a try.
