"I never intended to switch away from Gmail. Like most people, I set up a free email ages ago with Google that I've carried through countless mailing lists and account sign-ups. My inbox is a mess, my online privacy is completely shot, and untangling my Gmail from my online life seemed impossible. But I went ahead and set up an account with Proton Mail anyway, and I haven't opened Gmail since."
"Like other Proton apps, Proton Mail emphasizes security and privacy, but a big feature for me is that it works for you, not against you. Automatic sorting in Gmail has left my inbox in shambles, and mishandling of my email address has left my contact information in databases I never wanted to be part of. Proton Mail is helping me clean up the mess."
Proton Mail was founded by Proton Technologies, a privacy-focused company based in Switzerland, and shares products such as Proton VPN and a password manager. Proton Mail emphasizes security and privacy while prioritizing user control of the inbox. The service offers fast, Gmail-like performance, multiple encryption options, email aliases, mass unsubscribe, and straightforward filtering. Proton Mail includes transition tools that can import data from Google and offers an encrypted Proton Calendar. The mobile app lacks some features present in the web app, and true end-to-end encryption remains somewhat clunky. Proton Mail is available as part of Proton Unlimited.
