Gmail alternative
Private mail that still reaches Gmail.
The most secure email on the planet
An Outlook alternative that doesn't live in Microsoft's cloud
Hotmail and Outlook.com keep history on a Microsoft-held mailbox. QeyeT keeps an encrypted vault on devices you authorize, gives you a free @qeyet.com address, and still delivers to the Outlook users you email every day.
QeyeT vs Typical Outlook / Hotmail
Personal Outlook.com is a Microsoft-held mailbox. QeyeT is not.
| Topic | QeyeT Mail | Typical Outlook / Hotmail |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to start | Free personal preview | Free (Microsoft account graph) |
| Where history lives | Encrypted vault on your devices | Microsoft-held mailbox |
| Ads / data bargain | No ad targeting of your mail | Microsoft account + Copilot graph |
| Email Outlook users | Yes | Yes |
| Phone number | Not required | Often required for recovery |
| Chat + calendar | Built into Mail | Teams / Outlook calendar |
When leaving Outlook.com makes sense
Keep the people. Drop the Microsoft account graph.
- You want out of Microsoft 365 personal mail without losing Outlook contacts
- You don't want Copilot or an ad graph sitting on the inbox
- You want keys on devices you authorize, not a Microsoft tenant
- You still need to email work Outlook users every day
Frequently asked questions
Will Outlook and Hotmail still deliver mail to me?
Yes. @qeyet.com receives ordinary internet mail, so Outlook, Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo can write you the same way they write any other address.
Does QeyeT replace Exchange or Microsoft 365 at work?
No. Personal private mail, chat with QeyeT contacts, and calendar cover a lot of people. Corporate Exchange admin, tenant policies, and Microsoft 365 work mail are a different product.
Do I need a Microsoft account to create @qeyet.com?
No. Sign up at mail.qeyet.com. No Microsoft login and no phone number.
If mail is not sitting in Outlook.com, where is it?
Readable history lives in an encrypted vault on devices you authorize. The courier is transit-only. We do not claim SOC 2 or ISO certificates.
Can I stop feeding Copilot and still email coworkers on Outlook?
Yes. You send internet mail to their Outlook address. They do not need a QeyeT account.
