I am using the iOS ProtonMail application and, though it may again sound a bit bitter, I'm quite disappointed by its usability. If the contact is using ProtonMail, be it with a or a email address or with a custom domain, the paddlock next to the recipient's email address will be purple. When sending an email to this person the paddlock next to the recipient's email address will be green. It's not easy to find though, you have to go in the edit mode of a contact and click on the gear icon next to the email address in the contact details. But I can also upload the public key of one of my contacts who is using another PGP solution like Thunderbird and Enigmail for instance. I can easily publish my ProtonMail public key and anybody can use it to send me encrypted messages in ProtonMail. I encountered a few freezes in Google Chrome. I have tried the ProtonMail Bridge which enabled me to use my account over macOS default Mail app but I do really like the web interface of the webmail.

I can't really move all my family to ProtonMail so I bought another domain, signed up for the ProtonMail Plus subscription and added 5 more gigs of storage to import all my Gmail messages with the ProtonMail import/export tool.
#Sending proton mail to non proton email free
I have had a free Google Apps/Suite account for 12 years with my family name as a custom domain. To be honest the whole migration process has been quite tricky. But of course, I'm never satisfied and that's probably why I will sound a bit picky because I want the service to be perfect. To be fair I'm very happy with ProtonMail. Those past 5 years, I've been closely following the evolution of the service and a couple weeks ago, I decided to try a switch from Gmail. Therefore I'm looking for a non conventional product that still retains a certain ease of use. Though a tech enthusiast, I am not a security expert per sé. I believe it was the first time he talked about offering a true Gmail alternative in terms of features.īoth products have pros and cons and by writing this article I'm trying here to figure out which is the best solution for me. A year after the launch, I interviewed Andy Yen and he explained how he wanted to build a secure product that does not suck. If I remember well, I was actually trying out the Mailvelope extension which basically added a way to write and receive encrypted emails right from any popular webmail services. I have had my ProtonMail account right from the beginning. Here are a few thoughts - mainly for myself, on both products. And using both combined is the best solution I have found. But it's not as easy as it seems at first glance.
When it comes to email, one of them is ProtonMail. Of course, there are quite a few alternatives depending on the service that you use. And I'm not talking only about tech enthusiasts. More precisely, most of them believe that this is too much of a Google world. Everyone I have talked to those past 5 years has told me at least once that they want to move away from Google's ecosystem of services.
