Local not Cloud: True Privacy for Your Emails
Most email migration services operate as online tools in your browser. While this might seem convenient at first glance, it poses a massive privacy risk. Mailriva deliberately takes a different approach: As a pure desktop application, full control remains on your own computer.
The danger of online migration services
The local not online principle is simple: when you use an online service, you have to type your highly sensitive login credentials into a web form on a third-party website. Your emails are processed on foreign servers. With Mailriva, everything stays on your device — maximum privacy.
Credentials Never Leave Your Computer
They are used solely for the direct connection to your email provider.
Direct Data Transfer
The data transfer happens directly through your own internet connection.
We Never See Your Emails
We don’t cache them, and we don’t analyze metadata.
No Web Form Risk
No passwords in the browser — no typing sensitive login credentials into third-party websites.
Online tool vs. local app
Processing in the cloud
You enter your email credentials into a web form. A third-party server reads your mailbox, processes your data, and transfers it. You have no control over what happens to your emails.
Processing on your computer
The app runs locally on your computer. Your credentials never leave the device. The transfer runs directly through your own internet connection. Your source mailbox is guaranteed to remain unchanged.
