2020 was a very challenging year for many people around the world, and especially as a consequence of the ongoing global health situation. As we begin a new year we think about all those who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the same time it is important that we don’t forget about other global challenges, and as Runbox celebrated 20 years in 2020 we naturally considered the current state of the environment compared to the year 2000.
Since the year Runbox was founded, global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions have increased over 40% from approximately 23 to 33 gigatons as illustrated by the figure below.
There was a significant increase in emissions over the past year, and despite the pandemic-related drop during 2020 world liquid fuels production and consumption is forecast to continue nearly unabated in 2021 and beyond.
It is clear that the global environmental crises in all likelihood remain the most essential and existential challenges facing mankind, and that 2020 only represents a temporary interruption.
Still, Runbox remains optimistic, and will in 2021 renew and reinforce our commitment to our Environmental Policy, our offer to provide free email services to environmental non-profit organizations, and a double negative carbon footprint through our support for World Land Trust.

It’s our 20th birthday, and we’re giving YOU a present!
Our goal has always been to provide professional email services with massive storage space that is also affordable and flexible.
When Runbox was officially launched on October 12, 2000, Hotmail was the market leader with 2 MB storage space.
Runbox then decided to launch an email service with a whopping (at the time) 100 MB free storage — and received more attention (and signups) than we could have anticipated.
It’s now 2020 and we are doing it again, by multiplying the storage space on all our subscription plans by 2!
Our plans will now include storage space as follows:
| Email Storage | File Storage | |
| Runbox Micro | 2 GB | 200 MB |
| Runbox Mini | 10 GB | 1 GB |
| Runbox Medium | 25 GB | 2 GB |
| Runbox Max | 50 GB | 5 GB |
These quotas will take effect for your account upon your next Runbox subscription purchase or renewal. So don’t forget to take advantage of the double subscription time on all product purchases through October!
Proceed to our Product page right away to automatically upgrade your account.
And we hope you will enjoy Runbox at least twice as much going forward. 😀
On October 12, 2000 the Runbox email service was officially launched, on an Internet that was quite different from what we are used to today.
Initially, Runbox was a basic email forwarding service with a permanent @runbox.com email address. The original idea was to eliminate the need for email users to inform their contacts about a new email address when they changed schools or work places.
We soon expanded the Runbox service with a custom made Webmail interface, and offered a whopping 100 MB storage space. This was substantial compared to the 2 MB offered by Hotmail, who was the market leader at the time.
At that time Runbox was a free service, and the offering brought international attention and a large number of users. We then expanded with POP, SMTP, and IMAP access, email retrieval and filtering management, file storage, and support for email domains and domain hosting.
In 2012 we were once again at the forefront by strengthening the security and privacy aspects of our services following the surveillance revelations especially in the US.
Since those early years we have founded a new employee-owned company, continued hardening the security and privacy of our services, and built new partnerships and new server infrastructures, while broadening the foundation of our operations to embrace strong environmental and ethical principles, a diverse and dedicated team, a global customer base, and an inclusive virtual organization.
Now we are hard at work making Runbox 7 the fastest webmail app on the planet. In a world that is experiencing several global crises simultaneously we are increasingly focusing on features that facilitate global interconnectedness, telecommuting, and remote work by making our service more people and activity centric.
In an uncertain future one thing is for sure: Runbox will reinforce our mission to help people communicate better, more efficiently, and in a more organized way.
To demonstrate this we celebrate our 20th anniversary by doubling the subscription time on all Runbox products and renewals free of charge through October.
This means that when you purchase a subscription or add-on you get 2 years for the price of 1 year!
Proceed to our Product page right away to take advantage of this offer.
Thank you to all the customers who have supported us through the years — here’s to the next 20!
