Proton Mail iOS App Gets Major Redesign With Offline Mode

[PHMA]

I don’t like about the email app that for left swipe AND right swipe in the email app only an archive action is shown. Totally not my use case. I need „Mark as read“ and delete“ instead😩

You can change this in the settings.

Sorry, double.

The bridge app exists in the first place because proton don't want other companies interacting directly with their systems. The bridge app exists for the most common desktop operating systems. This allows proton to full control over the security of their systems while giving you desktop access to your email through your preferred desktop email application. They could just make you use the web app instead, which would be less convenient. The way things are going with Microsoft Outlook they may just have to do that in the long term.

If outlook is anyone's preferred desktop email client, they are crazy. It is the kind of software that you are forced to use.

I will not pay for a subscription for an email app.

True, but you're not paying a subscription for the email app. Its a free download. You can also use proton mail free, as there's a free tier. If you want more services and options then you pay for the service.

It works the same way with apple, you get free email, but if you want more storage or services you have to pay apple.

The difference is that proton offers superior privacy imo

I prefer Outlook over Apple Mail.

Apple Mail is unusable with attachments. It’s simply awful software.

I love Proton and their services, but the new mail app is so bad I gave it a one star review in the AppStore. It used to be smooth and snappy, but this update has made it slow and sluggish. I delete emails and it takes over a minute for the UI to sort itself out. Selecting emails also takes a LOT longer if I want to delete several at a time. Also, changes to the view state result in the old and new states showing and overlapping.

TL;DR, if you haven’t upgraded the app yet, DON’T.

Please someone that is an expert correct me if I’m wrong.

Proton can read every email is send and received to other email providers right? I mean is someone from Google, Outlook sends an email to Proton mail server SMTP will receive the email in plain text right, then pass it to some sort of spam software, then delivered to dovecot and finally stored in your mailbox which will be encrypted and lost to the ability of being read. But upon arrival and sent the email should be able to be read by Proton. Right?

Also, Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, Adobe and so on they all have paid services as well as free of course. But is people suggesting that they do not read paid customers content? Because Proton also has free services as well.

The other thing I don’t like is how Proton extended his services. I mean, private mail service after Lavabit scandal right I get it. The VPN, then Password service, I don’t think is smart to have all those services in just one provider. Compartmentalization should be your best scenario. So lately, I started to feel doubtful of Proton services.

Cheers

Interesting comment. Yes to your first
paragraph, but maybe it was rhetorical.

Aside from manually encrypting your email and sharing keys, is there a better email solution than Proton or its competitors?

You can change what the swipes do in the app settings
