Proton's sign-in system is changing towards a two-page login.

Proton's sign in system is changing towards a two-page login.

I hope Proton Pass can fill the next page without having to click again to do the password field.

Speaking of Proton Pass...

Proton Pass already uses this two page system.

Is this an A/B test?

Proton.me works perfectly fine in incognito tab but not the normal tab, i changed browsers and even switch to linux but still same thin and even ISP guy didn't help

I have a custom domain which is set up for use with proton mail. I am on the proton mail plus plan. I get forwarded email from Gmail and I get emails sent directly to my custom domain addresses. So receiving works fine.

However there are a number of people who don't receive emails that I send from the custom domain email address. Others do.

I am looking for a reliable guide to troubleshoot my configuration.

Here is one example of the behavior I have observed, in case you like to think about problems, read on.

If I send an email from my custom domain to my Gmail account it will be forwarded from Gmail to the custom domain, but there is no sign of that original message in Gmail. Not in spam. Not in trash. Not in inbox.

I sent it there because I wanted to observe the headers and instead the above is what discovered.

The main problem is that I am sending emails that are not being received. I am technical enough to work this problem but I see a lot of conflicting information when I search the web, and a lot of folks selling a service to fix the problem.

Any insights are most welcome.

Thank you.

Hi folks. I recently signed up to Proton and have just finished the automated transfer of all emails and folders from an account I’ve had with my ISP for nearly 25 years. I did this because their email service is being shut down soon as they want to focus on just providing internet connection.

I did the transfer with no issues via IMAP as instructed by Proton’s customer support.

1. Will all of these emails I’ve imported into Proton Mail disappear once my ISP deletes my emails from their server and closes things down?

2. Similar query: If I wanted to preempt my ISP’s service closure and log in to my ISP’s webmail service to delete every email I have, would this also make them disappear from my Proton Mail?

3. OR… Are imported emails standalone copies that aren’t connected to my ISP’s server and won’t be going anywhere?

4. Now that this easy transfer feature with Proton is complete, does this mean that Proton Mail will continuously fetch new mail that gets sent to my ISP email account (while it still exists)?
   Therefore acting like a third-party email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird?

5. I get confused with POP and IMAP and which one of these is a mirror connection that deletes an email from third-party email clients if you delete it from the originating webmail/server.

Thanking you all in advance for your help.

I know the phrasing is weird but is it recommended to switch from a gmail connection to proton on other apps?For example, can I disconnect my gamil from discord and replace it with proton.me without any issues? Is it more private and safe?

Also is there some apps/accounts that I shouldn't switch from gmail to proton?

Hello proton users,

I am a proton unlimited customer since 2018, always purchasing 2-year plans which are relatively costly.

I am approaching the next renewal and to be frank I am not so sure I want to continue paying that amount of money. At the end of the day, I use only protonmail and vpn, all the rest of the services I never use.

I found a good alternative for the VPN, for the use I need, therefore the only remaining service I use is protonmail, and I am not planning to move to protonpass becuase I am happy with Bitwarden, I don't need drive because I pay already iCloud.

Does it make sense for me to downgrade to just Mail Plus? My only fear is to lose the plan price I have at the moment as an early adopter which is less expensive than the plan I would pay if one day I decide to come back to unlimited.

Anyone who did this choice? Any advice?

Hi! I recently started migrating from Gmail to Proton, and it has been nice so far!

The main point of moving from Gmail was because I was worried that practically everything I use daily was depending on Google somehow, which brings me to my main point.

I see that it may be better to have a custom domain and use it on Proton instead of relying on proton.me. If I'm unhappy for some reason, or would like to change to another service, I wouldn't have to deal with changing hundreds of logins to my new email provider.

The thing is that I'm a bit worried about adding extra things "that could break" to my personal email, since now I will have to handle DNS and a custom domain, and I'm not feeling that confident about using that for important emails.

Is this something that I may be overthinking a lot? What is your opinion on using a custom domain for emails? Is there anything I can do to be sure that my email is receiving correctly, with some kind of daily check? Or a service that could provide these kinds of checks?

I am thinking of buying the Mail Plus package for 2 years, which is 83.76 € total.

Are there any seasonal discounts or something I can wait for, or even if there is, it will be minimal?

I use my PM address for work and have been notified that many of the emails I’m sending are going to recipients’ spam. This seems to be a problem when I email big organisations running MS enterprise. Gmail and Gsuite recipients are fine.

I know that recipients can mark my emails as safe and that should help train their servers, but the problem is persisting. Is there anything I can do on my end to prevent this?

Hey everyone,

I was planning to set up Proton Pass + Hide My Email to start using aliases instead of my personal emails for everything. To prevent vendor lock in, I want to buy a custom domain through Cloudflare instead of the default ones that Proton provides.

My original plan was to create a unique alias for every single service I use but now I'm wondering if creating hundreds of aliases is too much maintenance. I'm also slightly worried that relying completely on Cloudflare and a single custom domain creates a massive single point of failure / weak point.

What would you recommend? Should I stick to this plan, or is there a better/more balanced way to approach this? Thanks!

My Mac laptop moved the proton mail app to the trash today saying it contained malware. Anyone know what’s up?

Anytime I’m looking for a specific email in a chain, or from a specific date, I always have issues finding what I’m looking for quickly. I fully admit that I could just be a moron, but email chains seem all over the place (at least on mobile). Please tell me I’m not alone

I am still perplexed, after years of contemplating switching to Proton Mail, that simple things like alphabetizing my contact list by lastname remains out of reach. Focusing on security does not mean ignoring even the most basic of contact list capabilities that literally goes back decades. I simply do not understand why the folks at Proton have not addressed this -- certainly cannot be a big deal to program given that the contact format provides for separate entries for first name and last name. While I am certainly drawn by many aspects of proton mail, having a provider who does not seem to "hear" such a basic customer request remains troubling. /r

For what time I've used potonmail I completely love but when you're embedded into their ecosystem as much as I am it's becomes hard to come off.

What makes the decision to leave Microsoft hard is not been able to use AMP e-mailing system on proton and not being able to sync my contacts and calenders to my Samsung galaxy phone even though these features are on proton mail and proton calendes I prefer to use the Samsung galaxy default apps like I have gone with my outlook account.

Even though there's a third party out to do this is it worth it that is the question

email wise definitely

calendar and contacts not so much

I recently switched to Linux Mint Cinnamon. I installed the Proton Mail desktop app for Linux (.Deb) and got the banner that asked if I wanted to 'enable desktop notifications'. I enabled it. Now I regret it and want it OFF. That option is no where to be found within the Proton Mail app, I've looked through every inch of 'All Settings'. Can someone please direct me to what should be a simple toggle switch? No, app notifications are not managed by the OS in Linux Mint either.

If you had 3 users and were to choose between the Mail Essentials plan vs. the Family Plan, which would you choose? This is for personal use, not business use. Also, let's ignore for the moment the fact that you can have up to 6 on family... that can be a separate consideration.

What I see are the benefits of family over mail essentials (again, ignoring the up to 6 user feature)

• 3 TB of shared storage vs 45 GB of individual storage (15GB each)
• Higher VPN tier (10 simultaneous connections per user, all of the high speed servers)

Benefits of mail essentials:

• Marginally lower price for 3 users - but that goes when amortized over more users.
• Better user management features? Probably very useful for an organization, but maybe not so vital for personal use? Anything I would be missing out on here do you think?
• (This one is specific to me): I am already on Mal Essentials and switching my users is a royal pain.

Are there any other benefits of Mail Essentials over the Family Plan that I am missing? Just trying to make the final decision before taking the somewhat complicated step of switching.

Thanks!
