## Featured reviews

- **5★ · Unexpectedly Great! · December 2, 2024** — This mail client is awesome, it’s free and it’s really free. The upgrade plan isn’t necessary nor required for full functionality of the app. Most products on the App Store that are free have a hidden catch or cripple the free version unless you pay a subscription. Yes Proton has paid subscription to upgrade the storage options but for most individual users what they give you is plenty and if you need more than they give you then you should maybe think about how you use email as a person because 1gb is plenty for mail, if you need more then you most likely are using your mail client for something other than mail or you are too lazy to keep your mail cleaned out. The proton vpn, which is also free and unlimited usage, however the paid plan for the vpn is needed in order to pick your own exit node country. All in all the suite is great and even on macos or windows you can download the “electron” mail app and use it as an open source client for desktop use. It’s just not the official app, however it is transparent in the coding and is basically the webui with some custom css implemented in order to give you a free ui to proton. The only down side to all of this is you can’t just use proton with your favorite mail app. However I’m personally very content with my setup! Highly recommended and very secure!
- **4★ · Still needs features of other clients · September 18, 2024** — The ProtonMail app works very well for what it does. However, it’s still lacks some fairly basic features that would make its usability even better. The first feature that I would like to see, is that when you read and then delete an email, the app automatically takes you to your next email. Maybe this feature includes a switch inside of the settings, so that you can turn the feature on and off as needed. The current operation is that once you read and delete an email, that takes you back to the email list. This current method of operation really creates a lot of extra clicks. The second feature needed is the ability to filter on an email address. I have multiple protonmail email addresses and they ALL show up under one inbox. The whole idea of having multiple email addresses is to be able to use them for different purposes. If I have one address that collects important emails, it would be nice to be able to filter, or otherwise view, just those important emails and not every email received. I know both of these feature requests have been kicking around the internet for years. But, I’m still hopeful that they might be implemented. I like having a secure, encrypted email system such as protonmail. However, using it could be made easier with some tweaks. Thanks. T UPDATE: The first feature requested above exists on the app. It is a bit buried in the account menus but can be found by navigating to “settings” > “account settings” > “Jump to next email” and toggle that feature on. Thanks. T
- **4★ · Lags behind rest of ProtonMail suite · September 1, 2020** — Let me begin by saying that I absolutely love ProtonMail. To the extent that it almost feels sinister in the level of brand loyalty I feel. That said, when taken in against the attention to detail and quality I see and experience throughout my everyday, while using their other components, this feels pretty lacking. It’s useful for push or when the web app is running a bit slow (which is just to be expected of a web app, and which Safari is mainly culpable), but 9/10 times, I’d rather wait and use that, as their normal version looks and feels 10x better in using. Then there’s the beta in all its sleek, dark glory, which is doubly nice (sometimes a little laggy on my phone, however it’s a beta and to be expected. Anyways, I would so love to see this app get a little more lovin’, since it has the potential, based on the foundation of its platform to be the best of its kind. This wouldn’t matter so much, were we given options to use something like Newton, Spark, Canary (what I use for other accounts currently), or whatever your personal client of choice may be. To their mobile app division’s lead dev, I would recommend taking a look at Hey (recently released by BaseCamp) for cues by which to enrich the app, but that’s just my own little suggestion. Otherwise, to the team as a whole: thanks for creating and continuing to create the best email service in existence. You guys have my support, figuratively and by way of my annual membership dues for years to come.

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.

By using open-source libraries, Proton Mail can guarantee that the encryption algorithms used do not have clandestinely built-in back doors.
