About this app

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:
ā€œProton Mail offers encrypted email, which makes it virtually impossible for anyone to read it except the sender and the recipient.ā€

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
• 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 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.

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:

ā€œProton Mail is an email system which uses end-to-end encryption, making it impossible for outside parties to monitor.ā€ Forbes

ā€œA new email service being developed by a group from MIT that met at CERN promises to bring secure, encrypted email to the masses and keep sensitive information away from prying eyes.ā€ Huffington Post

Haven't been able to open and read new emails since the 23rd of July. Countless reboots and various Android updates didn't help so far, who knows, maybe the next app update will. It's annoying, but at least I still receive notifications for some new emails, so only using the app to remind me to login on my pc to read and reply to my email for now.

We're sorry to hear that. Resolving the loading issue experienced by some of our users is on top of our developers' priority list. Meanwhile, try clearing the app cache or log out and back in to see if this helps. You can also turn off 'Alternative routing' (app settings) or clear the app data from the System settings (which will log you out).

Edit: I had a big issue with the app. But after the fix suggested in the reply it all seems to work great again! I love the Proton ideology. But the android app is failing. I am not able to reliable sent emails. Currently it is very slow. Searching emails for example is very slow. Also sending emails currently results in errors. Draft is not saved. And mails are not sent. Disappointing.

------ 06/11/2022 Updating my review to 1 star. Now I open the app, it loads my inbox, and it crashes. ------ 05/11/2022 The app was just fine after the visual overhaul. Now everything is slow, sometimes my inbox will not load and I have to restart the app, and today I cannot open emails anymore because app crashes when I do. Privacy is important and valuable, but it has to be part of an email client that works!

Sorry to hear that. Try disabling 'Alternative Routing' (app's Settings) and clearing the app's data from the device settings (which logs you out) to see if it helps. Our latest beta version may contain a potential fix for this behavior too. Please contact is through the in-app 'Report a problem' feature with more info on the crash issue.
