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 Our open-source code base: https://github.com/ProtonMail EULA: http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula

★★★★★Good enough🇺🇸 US

Few of the main options are only able to be used in the web version. Not the app version

S.S. Peanut· 2026-05-30
★★★★Missing block sender feature🇺🇸 US

The block sender feature requires you to open phishing emails. “What’s new” Search does not work, matching text in body are not in search results They just made 1/3 of the page blank space. Need to add block sender to the checkbox menu When there’s a thread of emails, opening always lands on a random old email instead of the latest

★★★★★Protect your right to privacy!🇺🇸 US

Words cannot express how happy I am to have found proton. For a relatively small yearly fee I have access to all of their tools and I no longer feel like I am being taken advantage of by big tech. One small step but meaningful step in refusing to participate in the erosion of the right to privacy. Love Proton!

★★★★Scammers🇺🇸 US

Took my account for no reason I can’t even login to get my real estate certificate I tried to get my account back and they said they couldn’t confirm my identity

★★★★★Best secure email service, ever🇺🇸 US

Love this secure email service . . . Been using the free version for years, and probably should upgrade for a minimal cost paid version, for sure

SHOOTER'S REVIEWS· 2026-05-24
★★★★★amazing privacy focused email🇺🇸 US

I personally love how it’s so user friendly and all the privacy features email forwarding was REALLY a lifesaver, thought it was going to be tortuous to transfer all my accounts, but any accounts I missed will just automatically forward! the subscription is pushed in your face a BIT in the beginning but not that bad, so I’m perfectly fine with it finally, the only annoyance I could find is the beginning setup where you have to “double” the amount of file storage you have, inehich you need to link a google account email or something (which I was in the process of deleting) so yeah overall very good app, I personally don’t use many proton services, but I bet it would integrate really well with each other!

sun&sunglasses· 2026-05-23
★★★★★No notifications🇺🇸 US

There were several times where I wouldn’t get daily notifications for 1-2 days. This time, I didn’t open the app for 6 days & never got a single notification, even though I had 6 emails waiting. I use this app to get daily notifications for incoming mail/packages, so something isn’t right. Edit: since the dev responded, I wanted to add that refresh & notifications have always been on that’s why I was initially receiving the notifications. It’s just something with the app

★★★★Forced update🇺🇸 US

When I tried to open the app this morning, it immediately started updating without my consent followed by signing me out. I have automatic updates, turned off. Why was it allowed/ forced to update without my consent?
