Addresses @neomailbox.ch

All our customers with @neomailbox.net addresses can, with immediate effect, also use equivalent addresses @neomailbox.ch and @[your_subdomain].neomailbox.ch.

We encourage customers to switch to using neomailbox.ch addresses rather than neomailbox.net or neomailbox.nl addresses. Customers are also encouraged to update their email addresses with sites where they have email addresses saved, e.g. for password recovery purposes.

The neomailbox.net and neomailbox.nl addresses will also continue to work as normal.

The reason we recommend switching to neomailbox.ch addresses is that the “.net” domain space is controlled by Verisign, which is a US company, whereas the “.ch” domain space is administered by SWITCH Information Technology Services, a Swiss company, and is subject to Swiss laws, not US ones.

While we consider it an extremely unlikely occurrence, it would be possible for the neomailbox.net domain to be compromised through the US legal system.

Attempting the same with the neomailbox.ch domain, on the other hand, would require operating within the framework of the Swiss legal system, which is not only far more respectful of individual privacy, but also, very significantly, doesn’t include secret laws or secret courts hidden from public scrutiny.

/NOTE: This does not require any changes to email client configurations./

The mail server addresses for the Incoming and Outgoing servers in email clients should remain neomailbox.net for now, as before. Neomailbox Offshore Secure Email and Offshore Privacy Combo accounts will now simply receive mail for neomailbox.ch addresses in addition to the existing neomailbox.net and neomailbox.nl addresses.
