The most grown-up, intelligent, direct and informative review of Proton Mail I have found on UA-cam. Thank you for producing this 🙂 particularly the explanation that two parties would both need to be using Proton Mail for there to be true end-to-end encryption. No other review I watched explained that very important point.
This is an excellent video. You got to the point quickly, while explaining things in detail. These are the type of videos I like. You have a new subscriber.
I, originally, joined ProtonMail a while back. That said, I liked it, & still do. I ❤️ the end-to-end encryption (mainly b/c most of my contacts use GMail; and the bilateral-encryption is very handy in that regard).
I've been using proton mail for 3 years now and zero issues. I was going for GSuite but I though i'd try it first. Been on it since. The pricing is decent. It's Folders and rules are better than Gmail period. You can setup rules for this, so your statement is not quite true. I am using my custom domain (and a paid service) and the setup was a breeze. However, Proton is not really for everyone though.
@@movementbuilders8828 it can be an annoying email client at times. Especially the search on the mobile app. Pretty vague. I would propose people use Gsuite or zoho
1 GB is still pretty good for a free account. For 10 yrs I have had free Hush mail as a side account and it only gives you 25MB. But I rarely use it anyways.
Hello, I watched a video on Proton Mail, which said that it uses (PGP) encryption to secure both emails and sent files. This video said that the only person that can open your email is the person you've sent the email to. It doesn't even have to be someone with Proton Mail that your sending to. I got this information from the video below which is only 2.19 minutes long.
The problem with e-mailing is that you are never safe. If you use ProtonMail and send an email to Gmail, your email can be compromised because it's now on Gmail servers. You can send password-protected emails and share the password with the sender. This makes your email end-to-end encrypted. However, ProtonDrive is end-to-end encrypted, and you are the only person who can open those files.
@@mks-mobile I don't think the email is on Gmail server if you are sending PGP emails from ProtonMail. Your Gmail recipient will only receive a link to the email which is encrypted on ProtonMail server, and the recipient will need to enter the password in order to read the email and the recipient does not require to have a ProtonMail account. In other words, the end-to-end still works because the email did not leave the server. I think you have misunderstood how end-to-end encryption works on ProtonMail.
This is a slightly long reply but please read it as a warning to all Protonmail users. I've used Protonmail for a few years now but recently I had the 'Blue Screen of Death' on my PC. I had to re-install Windows 10 which was on an SSD. I didn't want to overwrite Windows 10 and lose all of my programs, so I installed it on another SSD. I could now get access to all of my previous files from 'Program Files' or 'Program Files (X86). I have a lot of programs I use and I can download them again if they didn't work from the first SSD. I use Brave browser and I had previously backed up my Brave browser bookmarks so I imported them to the new Brave browser. However, I can't get access to my saved Brave passwords and this includes the password for Protonmail. So, as usual in these cases I changed the password for Protonmail and I'm now informed that all of my emails will not be de-crypted. It seems that Protonmail doesn't like you to change the password you used when you first signed up. Protonmail tells you that, if you can remember your previous password, you can then access your account. WTF! I've forgotten the previous password that's why I'm resetting it. Here's what they say on the website: 'If you reset your Proton password by email or phone, you won’t be able to read your existing emails and other encrypted files due to the encryption that we use. Note that this only happens when you reset your password by email or phone (for example, when you forget it) and not when you change your password.' It's a bit late for them to tell me this now. I don't see a lot of difference between resetting a password and changing a password. How many people world-wide forget their passwords on a daily basis? It's got to be in the millions and it's so easy to change a password in any other program, I've done it myself numerous times in the past. Looks like I'm in deep doo-doo now as I can't access my Protonmail account at all. Maybe you guys reading this might have a solution for me to try?
My emails keep disappearing by themselves-I do not delete them or anything-and they haven't been able to solve my issue. Any hints to solve it please? Thanks
@@josephinecassar4573 I mean, your email storage space. ProtonMail gives you 500 MB of free email storage. The storage is divided among all Proton products, including Mail, Drive, and Calendar. Also, you can get 500 MB more by completing the get started checklist found here proton.me/support/get-started-mail

That point is reviewed alot everywhere if I am correct 😅
It is in fact an important point. End-to-end is only valid with Proton to Proton emails.
I've had Hush mail for 10 yrs and that's the way they are, too. Both people have to have Hush for the encryption.

I appreciate that! Welcome to the community.
Proton has email sorting its called "filters".
It's actually really handy and not difficult to set up.
It does, but some email clients have default filters to sort emails automatically.

Why do you say Proton is not for everyone?

Best video on proton mail, thank you
Can I use this email service as personal to register on other sites to use normally? send messages to people
Proton mail is excellent. Use labels instead of folders and they work great.
Is this a app we download?
@@mattmason4589 yeah its on google play

I just want a service that can't easily be broken into and proton mail seems more secure. I hope it is...
So far so good.

Glad you think so!
That's very helpful. Thank you! Do you have another review of other email(s)?
No, unfortunately. Do you have any recommendations?
@@mks-mobile Do Tutanota please.
@@TheCommonSenseForRegularPeople OK.
Sadly is almost imposible to ditch your outlook account if you're using windows
Excellent tutortial
dear brother please tell me how to ublock proton mail if he block me to auto abuse
Proton free is now only 500MB of storage
Would not recommend the Protonmail app for older people, especially if they own a Chromebook. Both to complicated and quite messy to use over time.
They are slightly challenging to use compared to Gmail and others. However, if privacy is your focus point, I think you should consider it.
It does send ads though. Protonmail will send you their own ads and you can’t unsubscribe. Disappointing.
So do all the other free email services.
No ads in paid Proton.
very smart .
My emails keep disappearing by themselves-I do not delete them or anything-and they haven't been able to solve my issue. Any hints to solve it please? Thanks
Never happened with me. Could be the lack of remaining storage.

That's a lot of hand gestures
How to reply to any email in protonmail? I could'nt find any ***"Reply-to"*** option anywhere!
?
Something wrong?
your hand gestures are distracting and unecessary.
Noted. Thanks
