Description

Keep your conversations private. Proton Mail is encrypted email from Switzerland. Used by millions worldwide, our all-new email app protects your communications and has everything you need to easily manage your inbox. The Wall Street Journal says: “Proton Mail offers encrypted email, which makes it virtually impossible for anyone to read it except the sender and the recipient.” With the all-new Proton Mail app, you can: • Create a @proton.me or @protonmail.com email address • Send and receive encrypted emails and attachments with ease • Switch between multiple Proton Mail accounts • Easily manage your email with conversations • Keep your inbox tidy and clean with folders, labels and simple swipe-gestures • Receive new email notifications • Send Password-protected Emails to anyone • Enjoy your inbox in dark mode Why use Proton Mail? • Proton Mail is free — We believe everyone deserves privacy. Upgrade to a paid plan to get more done and support our mission. • Easy to use — Our all-new app has been redesigned to make it easier to read, organize, and write your emails. • Your inbox is yours — We don’t spy on your communications to show you targeted ads. Your inbox, your rules. • Rigorous encryption — Your entire inbox is secured, on all your devices. No one can read your emails but you. Proton is privacy, guaranteed by end-to-end and zero-access encryption. • Unmatched protection — We offer strong phishing, spam, and spying/tracking protection for all your communications. Industry Leading Security Features Messages are stored on Proton Mail servers using end-to-end encryption at all times and are transmitted securely between Proton servers and user devices. This largely eliminates the risk of message interception. Zero Access to Your Email Content Proton Mail's zero access architecture means that your data is encrypted in a way that makes it inaccessible to us. Data is encrypted on the client side using an encryption key that Proton does not have access to. This means we don't have the technical ability to decrypt your messages. Open-Source Cryptography Proton Mail's open-source software has been thoroughly vetted by security experts from around the world to ensure the highest levels of protection. Proton Mail only uses secure implementations of AES, RSA, along with OpenPGP, while all of the cryptographic libraries used are open source. By using open-source libraries, Proton Mail can guarantee that the encryption algorithms used do not have clandestinely built-in back doors. Proton Mail in the press: “Proton Mail is a Gmail-like email system which uses end-to-end encryption, making it impossible for outside parties to monitor.” Forbes “A new email service being developed by a group who met at MIT and CERN promises to bring secure, encrypted email to the masses and keep sensitive information away from prying eyes.” Huffington Post Follow Proton on social media for all the latest news and offers: Facebook: /proton Twitter: @protonprivacy Reddit: /protonmail Instagram: /protonprivacy For more information, visit: https://proton.me/mail Our open-source code base: https://github.com/ProtonMail EULA: http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula

    i like that it's easy to use, and it guides you through it. the only thing i don't like is that it doesn't have profile pictures yet, because all other email softwares have profile pictures. if it's behind a paywall, i get it, but i'd like it if i was told that first.

  • Proton Mail: privacy at the cost of usability

    ProtonMail Review I’ve been using ProtonMail for a substantial amount of time, and while it has some benefits for security-conscious users, it also has many shortcomings that make it frustrating to use. Here’s my experience: Pros: • Enhanced Security: ProtonMail advertises end-to-end encryption for communications between two ProtonMail users, which is reassuring for those prioritizing privacy. However, this encryption is mandatory, with no option to enable or disable it, which might cause compatibility issues for some users. Cons: 1. Attachment Issues: Sending inline photo attachments often causes crashes. As a workaround, I attach photos as files, but the process is unintuitive and cumbersome. To attach as a file, you must first insert the image inline, then click on the image and choose an option from a menu to convert it to a file attachment. This is far from user-friendly. 2. Threading Problems: Message threading is poorly implemented. You cannot expand all messages in a thread at once, which makes it easy to miss or lose messages. 3. Free Version Limitations: The free version imposes strict limits, and once these are reached, the app essentially stops working, making it difficult to clean out your inbox or continue using the service effectively. 4. Server Reliability: Occasionally, the servers are unreachable, which disrupts the ability to send or receive emails. 5. Lack of Automatic Logout: For a service designed with security in mind, ProtonMail disappointingly does not offer an automatic logout option. This leaves your account vulnerable if someone gains access to your mobile device. 6. Feedback Mechanism: ProtonMail provides a section for user suggestions, but it’s unnecessarily difficult to access. Even when feedback is submitted, there seems to be little follow-through in terms of implementing improvements. Conclusion: While ProtonMail’s commitment to privacy and encryption might appeal to some, the app’s usability issues and lack of critical features make it a frustrating choice for many. If you prioritize convenience and reliability in an email service, you may want to look elsewhere. Thumbs down. Use it at your own risk and inconvenience.

    I started the free mail app and also paid for the first level of VPN service. I found the Proton mail too limited so I tried to bump it up to a paid subscription. It would only allow me to upgrade the VPN, not the mail. After several days of trying, I gave up and tried to start over with the mail subscription and that’s when I lost access to everything. Bottom line: I paid for a year and only got about two months of service.
  • Unnerving Statements from the CEO

    The CEO’s political statements worry me as someone concerned about privacy and I will be taking my business elsewhere. Shame on the company for trying to justify his statements.

  • App requires constant cache clearing

    By Misplaced Ads Ruin Everything
    New to Proton. Overall product is fine, even if missing a few basic features, but the app version is slow to the point of stalling. I find I need to frequently clear the cache for new messages/actions to be reflected in my inbox. This obviously isn’t ideal and a real barrier to useful functionality. Hopefully this will improve with app updates. Update: So slow it’s almost unusable. Very different experience from desktop, which is great. Hope this gets fixed as it isn’t very tenable to have such an unreliable app.
  • Freezes so much I don’t need air conditioning

    This app really freezes now, almost every time I’m composing a message, total lock up. Have to swipe up to quot the entire app, and then part of what I was writing is usually in the drafts. Didn’t used to crash.
