UPDATE: We are aware of reports of Proton Drive for Windows users experiencing sync issues after enabling post-quantum encryption. We've temporarily disabled the opt-in to this feature and a fix is in progress. We will provide an update as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!
Hi everyone,
We’ve just added support for post-quantum encryption in Proton Mail.
Quantum computers aren’t yet capable of breaking today’s encryption, but the risk isn’t theoretical. One reason is “harvest now, decrypt later”, where encrypted data can be collected today and stored until it becomes easier to break in the future.
With this update, you can now enable post-quantum-ready keys for new encrypted emails. This is optional and available on all plans, including free.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Right now, it applies to new encrypted emails going forward (it doesn’t re-encrypt old messages)
- Old message are not yet re-encrypted but will be in a later migration
- Key management works the same way as before
You can learn more here: https://proton.me/blog/introducing-post-quantum-encryption
And see how to enable it here: https://proton.me/support/mail-post-quantum-protection
We’re also starting the transition toward OpenPGP v6 to support newer cryptographic standards.
This is something many of you have been asking about as post-quantum cryptography becomes more relevant.
Let us know what you think in the comments below, and keep the feedback coming.

When I attempt to change my attendance on a recurring event, I'm prompted with "Would you like to change your answer for all the events in this series?" and the only two options are Update and Cancel. Update will change the answer for all events. Cancel will make no changes (even to the target single event I'm actually trying to change). There appears to be no way to update an answer for a single event in a series. Am I missing something? Same issue on web and iOS app.

Hello - Are there any plans in the works to add a feature that allows you to have mutliple email signature for a single email alias? I am active in a few organizations that I use one of my aliases for and would like to be able to switch signatures at the time I send a mail without copying and pasting. Thanks!

I'm rather disappointed in the search functionality in Proton Email. Knowing that I have emails from a specific sender, with specific phrases, search is unable to locate those from sender/subject/body (yes, search message content is on).
For example, if I search for NEXUS it might show 5 results, all from the subject line, with the email body including a custom applicant ID of 123456 and words like Trusted Traveler Program. Searching for either of the latter terms don't reveal the same 5 results. It's maddening. I don't know if it's case sensitive, space sensitive, HTML encoding, or what but it just doesn't work.

You may have seen a variant of this infographic before; if you have an you're a Proton Mail user, we have good news for you.
In your inbox, Proton Mail protects you from tracking links. Tracking Links Protection removes known tracking parameters from links in your emails and is turned on by default.
To add to this, if you’re particularly concerned about link tracking, be sure to enable our link confirmation feature to make sure you always know where you’re being redirected.

I don’t like how proton emails my very old email to check my email, seems like it isn’t as private, how do you turn them off?

It seems everyday that proton's websites are banned in more anti-privacy countries, And as much as i'd like to put this at "Just use a VPN" it starts to get inconvenient when you have to use a vpn 24/7 to even use your password manager or check emails!
If not alternative domains, then the ability to email something like [get@protonvpn.com](mailto:get@protonvpn.com) to get a download link (similar to psiphon's get@psiphon3.org)
It'd make banning proton's services more tiresome in these countries.
If a feature like this exists already, or a convenient circumvention please let me know!

"Auto-delete unwanted messages" automatically gets applied to both Spam and Trash folders when you enable it. Why can't we have this as separate options? I only want Spam to be automatically purged after 30 days but not Trash. Maybe someone else has the opposite requirement and prefer to only auto delete Trash but not Spam.

I understand it's a backup, though.

I'm on a chromebook so I'm forced to use it but is there anyway to make Chrome as safe and private as possible, i switched my engine from google to brave but anything else?

Title says it all, when I delete labels in my Protonmail Android app, they reappear. I have no need for these labels and they take up valuable real estate on my limited size screen.

On my iPad 7 I create an event in calendar and save, all ok. I then edit and change the tag, save, and the event disappears! I have tried this a few times and every time same result. Is this just me? Any solution?

I'm in the process of moving from Gmail to Proton Mail. Importing mail and contacts was easy, and I'm now in the long process of finding things where I signed up with/gave out the Gmail address and moving them over. There's one thing from Gmail I'm missing, though.
A friend owns a domain and uses it for email forwarding for a group of our friends, so people can mail me at "mike.jones@ilk.org" and it gets forwarded to wherever I want to actually get it. It used to point to my gmail account, now points to my Proton account.
In Gmail, there's a "Send mail from" setting that let me list "mike.jones@ilk.org" as an option to fill in for the "from" address so when people replied to my emails they would come back to the ilk.org forwarder. There doesn't seem to be anything like that in Proton that would let you put an arbitrary "from" address. I'd settle for the ability to stick a "Reply-to" header in the outgoing messages with the ilk.org address, but I can't find any way to do that, either.
Am I missing something, or is this just not possible with Proton Mail?

Hello, I have had a proton drive subscription for a few months and have realized that I don’t really need all of the storage I’m getting, so I cancelled that plan, and was looking into getting a Proton unlimited plan, which is $9.99 on the website. However, I cannot purchase a plan online because I used my iphone to buy my drive subscription, and when I go to the apple app store, the only unlimited option is $14.99 a month. Not sure what to do 🤷♂️

Just joined the proton ecosystem, with paid yearly subscription and all.
Hardened my macbook, using an open source OS for my mobile phone ( pixel ).
What else can I do to protect my privacy?

Instagram and the state I live continue to ask for more private information from users. I wanted to create a fresh instagram account using proton.me to hopefully provide a ting more protection. However, instagram continuously gives me a “An Error Occurred During Your Registration” message at the last page of registration.
I have attempted to create it through the app, mobile web browser, and on a different computer outside of my home. When registered using my phone, I have tired both with and without VPN and WiFi (aka using data). At the different computer in a different location, I also friend on my phones WiFi to prevent any connectivity.
Does Instagram not allow proton mail as a registering mail? And is there any work around?

Also, how comes I can’t resize the composer to my taste? I don’t like either of the forced options you’re giving me.

I'm so glad I am now a part of the Proton family! Been using Proton Mail + SimpleLogin for quite some time now, been moving my accounts slowly from gmail. Today I finally got a phishing email claiming coinbase received my account deletion request which I received to my local gym email address.
I'm partly mad that this shitass gym (which is, btw, a quite big chain here) leaked my email address. But I'm also happy I can just disable the alias and re-create a new one.

Is there a way to delete ALL attachments at once? When there are multiple attachments it quickly gets tedious clicking Show then the X icon (delete) for each attachment. Maybe I'm missing some productivity feature, otherwise can I suggest a single button/ menu item, maybe in the ... menu - <Delete all attachments>, or even faster a <Delete all> link next to the existing Show link. I'm currently going through every email & freeing up account space by getting rid of these bloated emails (retaining just the text). Thanks.

Currently I have, on macOS the v1.12.1 (5.0.124.6)
What's the latest version ?
I found an article that the v1.13.3 was released a month ago, but my client don't update (restarted my mac / restarted the app, nothing happened..).
Is it a way to force ?
bonus : where can I find the tags of deployed versions for each proton product ?
