ProtonMail Erfahrungen

The Best in Their Field

Vorteile:

What i like the most about this software is that it is easy to learn to use on your own.

Nachteile:

I cant think of anything that i dont like about it

Excellent product - secure and easy, but not limiting for hardcore users

Kommentare: I am delighted since I started using ProtonMail: the migration has been easy, although it took some time (but this is 100% due to a personal choice to rewrite almost from scratch my email setup and usage), and it simply worked out of the box. Not many bugs encountered as of now, no spam, no deliverability issues. The interface is clean and good looking, and it's a pleasure to work with. The help documents and guides are tailored more to the average user, and makes setting it up a breeze. I'm really satisfied and just subscribed for two years.

Vorteile:

ProtonMail does a great job of keeping email simple (as much as every other email provider you may have experience with) but at the same time with a lot of powerful tools, likeHTML signatures, SIEVE filters, email aliases, many security options (E2E encryption by default, but also Sentinel and session management), trackers blocking, and a privacy-by-default and privacy-by-design policy (some of these are premium features for paying customers).

Nachteile:

The only gripe I have with the Proton ecosystem is that its development is VERY slow, and announced features might take years before release. This is well known and, for me, perfectly acceptable in the end: security, privacy and releasing working features takes time, especially when you are supporting many platforms. Unfortunately there is not much feature parity among platforms.

Large storage drive

Kommentare: Protonmail is very cheap to use for email hosting

Vorteile:

ProtonMail is easy to create accounts and provides free storage drive for keeping data and files.

Nachteile:

Protonmail is very easy to deploy and implement.

Expensive, restrictive, poor support

Kommentare: I have been using Protonmail Business (their highest tier) for about a year. I wanted a reliable e-mail service I could use for my freelance work and a few of my personal websites that did not harvest all of my data. ProtonMail was more expensive than pretty much any other e-mail service, presumably because they force you to buy their password manager, VPN, drive, and calendar solutions. I did not need all of these solutions and never used them, nor did I want super-secure e-mail. Nevertheless, I signed up for a 2-year Business plan because of the good reviews, 15 custom domains, and the unlimited SimpleLogin addresses. The first surprise came when I tried to set up my e-mail client. Turns out that Protonmail does not offer SMTP/IMAP and there is no desktop app either (well, there is but it's in closed beta for ages). Using other clients requires installing and configuring protonmail-bridge (a sort of e-mail proxy).
This is an acceptable workaround for PCs, however, it is complicated and often impossible to configure for web servers, in particular virtualized or hosted setups. I tried a few community alternatives to protonmail-bridge but ended up having to restart the services daily because the bridge would randomly crash without any warning or error. Support was next to useless. Taking days or weeks to reply with boilerplate text that had nothing to do with my case. Eventually, I decided to migrate all business-critical mail away from Proton. MXRoute offers unlimited custom domains (and a lot of other cool things Proton does not) for a lifetime price that is equal to a yearly subscription to Proton, so I went with them. I decided to cancel my Proton subscription to avoid being charged for another 2 years. Worst of all was what happened when I tried to cancel: despite having paid for 2 years, as soon as I canceled my subscription, I INSTANTLY and WITHOUT WARNING lost access to all premium features for the remainder of the period (about 1 year). This means that all of the addresses I created for custom domains were deleted (luckily I had already migrated them). It also meant that all of my e-mail clients stopped receiving or sending mail because protonmail-bridge is not available for free-tier... Even Google lets you use the remainder of your subscription when canceling...
Even my SimpleLogin aliases are going to be disabled because - get this - since Protonmail bought SimpleLogin and bundled it with their product, aliases are disabled when you downgrade (instead of just restricting your ability to create more like SimpleLogin used to to). I begged support to convert my credit to a SimpleLogin or even a Proton subscription but they refused. My only option is to purchase a significantly more expensive monthly subscription for 5 months (instead of the 9 I had left). Maybe ProtonMail was at some point customer-oriented. But my experience with them has been the opposite: overpriced, restrictive, unfriendly money-grabbers. Which frankly leads me to question their privacy and security claims as well.

Vorteile:

zero-access encryption, unlimited SimpleLogin addresses, custom domains

Nachteile:

- They force you to purchase their Drive, Calendar, VPN and Password Manager which means even the cheapest plan is very expensive compared to competitors. - There is no desktop app and using other clients requires installing and configuring protonmail-bridge (an e-mail server proxy) - The custom domains are useless because they do not offer SMTP/IMAP servers and protonmail-bridge does not work on any sort of virtualized webserver setup -> understandable because of the E2E encryption. - Their support is slow to reply and usually replies with boilerplate text that is not helpful or relevant. - I deactivated my subscription with 1 year remaining and instantly lost access to *all* premium features without any warning.

My Go-To Choice for Moving Away from Gmail

Kommentare: A lot of the problem I'm solving has to do with 19 years of wrangling a Gmail inbox until it became a hot mess of unread emails from lists I didn't remember subscribing to. Now that I'm a more mature email consumer, I expect that the new digs at ProtonMail won't get that way. I'm instantly unsubscribing/spam-labeling mass mail that I didn't ask for instead of "letting it ride."ProtonMail has a simpler interface, simply because it has fewer features ... features which I seldom used in Gmail anyway. Sometimes less is more.I'm happy with it. It's not "free" like Gmail and some other offerings, but it's solid, it's simple, it's privacy-centric, and it offers the features I need.

Vorteile:

After nearly two decades using Gmail, I decided to make a change. I had operated a free ProtonMail account for some time, but since I was also using their VPN and password management products, I decided to pull the trigger and upgrade to "Mail Plus" -- unlimited daily messages instead of the weak 150-message limit for a free account, 15Gb of space on their "Drive" storage utility, etc.So far, so good. For about $5 US a month (less if you pay annually or biennially), it's a simple email interface with strong encryption available to protect privacy. It does at least as good a job at catching spam as Gmail, maybe a little better. The paid upgrade comes with one custom domain (if you host your own site you can create MX records and use ProtonMail as the domain catch-all, etc. if you prefer to not just have your host forward stuff).Anyone who's been at the same Gmail address since 2004 likely -- like me -- has an overflowing inbox full of newsletters you may or may not have actually subscribed to or want anymore. I've been selectively -- VERY selectively -- moving subscriptions I want over to ProtonMail and drawing my Gmail inbox down toward the abandonment point.

Nachteile:

My one and only one criticism of ProtonMail is with their "Drive" product. In theory, it works like Google Drive or DropBox -- you can store data there and access it directly from your desktop. Unfortunately, at the moment it only offers a Windows desktop application for doing that, so Mac, ChromeOS, and Linux users (I'm that last niche) are out of luck. When and if they release a Linux app, I'll probably abandon DropBox.

Proton mail. Whether the free service or paid service.

Kommentare: From day one, I've never had a problem. As soon as I heard about this company from one of my friends, I started. using it. I have one for business. I have one for personal the. free version of this is more than enough for any user.

Vorteile:

I was thinking of free service. is clean, clear, user friendly, if not more user friendly. Then let's say Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc, etc. Fact that they're in Switzerland and have very strict laws about privacy. Ironically, more strict than the US It is definitely a great email service. to use weather for business or personal.

Nachteile:

I don't have really anything bad to say. I do use their VPN, I love their proton pass. username and password. extensions for the browsers which is free compared to the last pass and everything else., no, I don't have any cons.

Good second/backup email

Vorteile:

It is easy to use. Has most features of famous email service providers.

Nachteile:

The free storage is not enough. The graphical interface is very simple and doesn't have many alternatives.

Simple Security

Kommentare: I am absolutely thrilled with the Proton range of services and can rest easy knowing my clients data is safe.

Vorteile:

I have found the whole package of services offered by ProtonMail to be simple, inexpensive and highly secure. I love knowing that my emails are encrypted and that my clients can be rest assured that their data and communications are safe.

Nachteile:

I honestly don't have anything bad to say about the Proton range of products and services. I use mail, calendar, vpn and drive - they all work seamlessly and are easy to setup.

Encrypted email without ads

Kommentare: ProtonMail prioritizes privacy, has a sleek UI and valuable features like schedule send. The added VPN service further strengthens security and value of the service. The free tier has enough features to be a valuable service.

Vorteile:

ProtonMail includes a VPN service for enhanced privacy, online drive, calendar and a password manager with mail aliases to hide your email from unwanted emails. The email service has enhanced security and encryption with a schedule send feature very useful for drafting and sending messages later

Nachteile:

No notable drawbacks until now, the pricing tier could have a lower entry paid plan.

Best looking UI for safer emailing

Kommentare: Perfect for scheduling emails and safer

Vorteile:

Proton Mail has one of the best looking and easy to use UI. It comes with the Schedule send feature which allows me to draft and send messages later. This has proven critical feature that I often use in my daily emailing tasks. It allows me to stay in my communication schedules even when i am traveling.

Nachteile:

The email storage is limiting to 500mb. I am not yet at the point of upgrading but still i feel this storage should have been bigger. Often i have to delete some conversations.

A Great Option if Privacy is a Value

Kommentare: As privacy online grows more important, I really appreciate the way that ProtonMail has built up a suite of products over time that are good value, feature rich and intuitive to use. Keep it up!

Vorteile:

The best part of Proton is the privacy an encryption features. I really appreciate that while delivering a mail service that is top of the line for privacy, they've also really paid attention to usability and function as well. Both the mobile and web interfaces are intuitive, full featured, and easy to use.

Nachteile:

Caring about privacy online takes a bit more effort, and proton mail is no exception. That said, they've done a great job to make it simple and user friendly, accessible to all.

Proton

Vorteile:

I like the Proton brand and the privacy and the security they provide.

Nachteile:

I would recommend the brand. My experience has been good.

A Reliable Privacy Based Email

Kommentare: ProtonMail is an encrypted email service that uses end-to-end encryption to protect your data from prying eyes. It's easy to use, and perfect for anyone who wants to keep their emails private. ProtonMail also has a built-in VPN, so you can be sure your data is always safe and secure. It was reliable, but did have occasional outages.

Vorteile:

ProtonMail is super easy to use, and it provides a high level of security for your data. ProtonMail also has a built-in VPN, which means you can be sure your data is always safe and secure. I like that I can use a regular email application to download and backup all email. The mobile application is a useful feature.

Nachteile:

ProtonMail I don't think is as widely used as other email providers, and it can be a bit more expensive than some other options. Often the mobile application notifies you of a new email, when it's already been viewed through their webmail portal.

Excellent email app

Kommentare: Protonmail is probably the very best email app I have ever used. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a secure email experience.

Vorteile:

I like that Protonmail gives me an extra sense of security and I feel confident that my email is protected from potential threats.

Nachteile:

I liked everything about this app. It is easy to use and the support team always answers questions timeously. I can rest assure that my mail is safe from threats.

Ditch Gmail Now!

Vorteile:

ProtonMail offers fully encrypted email messaging with all the features you know and love from providers like Google and Microsoft...but without the snooping. If you care at all about privacy and security online, Proton should be your one-stop shop. New features are being added all the time.

Nachteile:

It can be a little pricey depending on the tier you select, but it's worth the investment to get a quality product that doesn't monetize your data.

Easy to use!

Vorteile:

Best email application to use & end-to-end encrypted email without any hustle we can attach documents to email.

Nachteile:

A little bit more space/cloud storage is needed. Sometimes it goes to the spam box if the customer using outlook!

Secure and safe

Kommentare: Graphical interface of the app is good and the features of the app are easy to use.

Vorteile:

This app feels soo safe and encrypted. The mails can be sent quickly. The self destruction of mails is useful.

Nachteile:

Pricing of the app can allow only 500mb so that have to be extend.

Best way to get the government out of your email!

Kommentare: It's been great! It was tricky moving over emails from my former email server, but now they've solved that issue. I can star and sort my emails out as easy as other email programs and it's been great to use!

Vorteile:

I love the security of ProtonMail! I'm sick of the government wanting to spy on us 24/7 and all the new ways they have found to single out anyone who thinks differently. I want my clients' personal emails to stay private and I'm thrilled that I found ProtonMail for this!

Nachteile:

At the time, integrating this with my years and years of client emails was a pain in the butt. They have since added features which I've heard makes it so much easier.

ProtonMail for Private and Confidential Communications

Kommentare: Very satisfied with the service. I've been using this with clients that require a higher level of privacy. Just using ProtonMail already sends a mental message to clients you value their privacy and security. I recommend it anywhere I can.

Vorteile:

This is intended for encrypted, secure messages. Best used emailing with other ProtonMail users, so your email conversation stays encrypted. You can send encrypted email to other services, but it requires added steps for recipients. There's a good explainer by [SENSITIVE CONTENT] over at AllThingsSecured about the security. It's easy to tell people your email address too. You can receive email with the "@pm.me" domain (sending from this address is limited to paid plans). Storage was recently increased to 1GB for the free Basic plan.

Nachteile:

The costs add up when you need this for a large team. One way around it is, get the paid Plus accounts for the staff that needs it and the free Basic accounts for the other non-critical users. Do note that if you need custom domains, you'll have to be on a paid plan.

Free and very safe service

Kommentare: My company decided a few months ago to use Proton as its main email server due to the level of security it offers in terms of message privacy.

Its use is less widespread than that of other email servers.

The proton mail review

Kommentare: Overall experience is good.

Vorteile:

It is one of the most secure mail services out there in the market. If do not need to worry about tempering or leakage of any mail they are end to end encrypted. Also the feature to self destruct is also very handy and helpful.

Nachteile:

The only thing that I dislike about protonmail is the support service.

It is nice, easy, and reliable

Kommentare: I wanted to try something other than outlook and gmail so I tried this service. Surprisingly it meets the standards of an email service. It is definitely not comparable to main email service providers but it is simple and get the job done.

Vorteile:

ProtonMail is an end-to-end encrypted email service. So it is very reliable service. It has all main features someone may need and expect in an email service. Very easy to setup. The downside is its simple face which does not have features which for example gmail offers. It comes in two options; free service and the other service which you have to pay for it. I am using the free version. Overall, it is an easy nice service.

Nachteile:

It does not have many features offered by other email services. For example when you send an email and all of a sudden you do not want to send the email that you just send, so you can undo the send process. This feature is available in other services but not in the free version of protonmail.

Light and secure

Kommentare: I cherish my privacy and ProtonMail helps add an extra layer of protection .

Vorteile:

I'm not expert ,however did some research and it shows that ProtonMail is one of the most secure email providers you can find . Your data on it is encrypted and very hard to breach. The registration process was extremely quick and painless .

Nachteile:

The interface outlay is confusing at the beginning . I am also not a fan of how similar emails are grouped together . It makes finding items harder . Spam filters also need to be configured .
