While Outlook provides a full suite of products, it comes with data tracking and vendor lock-in. PDG Mail offers the same full-featured email, contacts, and calendar hosting but with a clean, fast interface and a steadfast commitment to your privacy. Enjoy an ad-free experience, enhanced security with zero-knowledge encryption, and the freedom of open standards, all protected by Hong Kong's robust privacy laws.
Privacy as a Business Model
When you use a "free" service from a tech giant like Microsoft, you are the product. Your data is collected and analyzed to serve their business interests. At PDG Mail, we have a different philosophy. As a paid service, our only commitment is to you, our customer. This means no data mining, no targeted ads, and a privacy-first approach backed by our zero-knowledge architecture. Your data is yours alone.
Moving Made Easy
Our guided import tool makes it easy to transfer your emails, contacts, and calendar from Outlook to PDG Mail. We'll walk you through the process step-by-step to ensure a complete and secure migration.
- Sign up: Get your new PDG Mail account.
- Start the Import: In the PDG Mail web app, go to Settings → Import. Choose Outlook / Office 365 and sign in to your Microsoft account.
- Forward Your Mail: Follow our guide to set up forwarding from your old Outlook account to your new PDG Mail address so you don't miss anything during the transition.
Our secure servers will communicate directly with Microsoft's data centers to pull in your messages quickly and efficiently. Your data is encrypted from the moment it arrives on our servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still use the Outlook desktop or mobile apps?
Yes. Thanks to our support for open standards like IMAP, you can continue to use the desktop or mobile apps you already know, including Outlook. Simply add your PDG Mail account to the client. However, we recommend trying the PDG Mail web and mobile apps to experience the full speed and power of our platform.
I use my own domain with Office 365. Can I move it to PDG Mail?
Absolutely. All PDG Mail plans support using your own custom domain at no extra cost. We provide all the necessary DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to get your domain configured for secure, reliable email delivery. We also offer hosted DNS with DNSSEC for enhanced security.
Is PDG Mail just an email client like Outlook?
PDG Mail is a complete email service, just like Outlook.com or Microsoft 365. We host your email, contacts, and calendar securely. While we offer our own fast and intuitive apps, our support for open standards means you are never locked into using them.
How does your privacy protection compare to Outlook?
Our entire platform is built on a zero-knowledge architecture, meaning your data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for us to access. This is a fundamental difference from services like Outlook, which may scan email content for commercial purposes. Furthermore, your data is protected by Hong Kong's privacy laws, keeping it outside the reach of jurisdictions with broader surveillance powers.
