Protonmail did very recently make a similar change. It’s cheaper, the UI is lightning fast, especially compared to how slow protonmail felt (perhaps it was just the decrypting process that caused it to slow down), I love the use of masked emails and use it extensively and I love that it renders tracking pixels useless as Fastmail loads images on their servers instead of client side. I really want a single view of my calendars. Having a calendar that can only be used with their service was also annoying. I’d check my email in the morning and then I could check again a few hours later and the email would have a time stamp from before the first time I checked my email. It was slow, poor UX, and I’d often receive an email (or shown in the app) that was sent hours before it was delivered to me. Encrypted email sounds great until you remember that the recipient most likely isn’t encrypting it and is probably using gmail. I loved the premise of protonmail but the reality of the service wasn’t ideal for me. It's mainly for sharing a single document or file with someone for a limited period of time and therefore the web-interface is good enough for me.I recently migrated from protonmail to Fastmail. ProtonDrive is good as it is for now and for me - I rarely store valuable documents on a remote host. If you want more security, you have to compromise on comfort and switch to the competition - but they don't have such a comfortable interface by far and no possibility to import existing mailboxes or export them on a large scale.īy the way, I would also be happy about a sync of address books on the desktop - that would make work easier. I didn't want them to be in plain text in some directory next to those of tens of thousands of other customers on a server. Even the company hosting your emails has no way of reading them, so you can rest assured that they can’t be read by third parties either. It offers end-to-end encryption and lots of other great security features to keep your communications private. As long as the computer is running and the user is logged in, processes and software can (theoretically) access all content.This is the price of comfort and everyone should keep this in mind and compare it with their thread model.įor me, when booking ProtonMail, the most important thing was the (reasonably) confidential and secure storage and processing of my mails with the greatest possible comfort. Proton Mail is the world’s largest secure email service. However, everyone should be aware that when using a bridge, the data on the user's computer is at least cached - and usually unencrypted.


Compared to initial development of mail bridge it shouldn't be too hard to do - however it's also not a piece of cake. The trick is to securely sync it with proton backend.


All you need is minimal local server providing the calendar.
