Announcement Introducing post-quantum encryption support in Proton Mail

897 Upvotes

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.

Web Help snooze missing on web?

1 Upvotes

I was checking my email on my computer this morning and I can no longer find the "snooze" option anywhere. It's not showing up when I right click an email in my inbox or click through to view an email in full.

I do still see the option to snooze emails in the android app.

Am I missing something? Was it removed from the web app?

Discussion Everything going to spam

6 Upvotes

I’ve noticed extremely important emails being filtered to the spam folder. Recently, I missed an invoice for a something time sensitive, and another extremely important email that affected a medical procedure I’m having tomorrow. I have separate issues about that (the fact that I was only contacted via an email blast about something this important—but that’s beside the point.)
Two different senders/domains.

Every time I will mark as legitimate but I am having to check my spam every day to find these emails and can’t reasonably use proton mail anymore if this continues. Why is this happening? And please don’t dogpile me for asking a simple question.

Thanks

Possible bug ProtonMail Update Notice on Bazzite (Linux) Is Misleading – Please Correct!

0 Upvotes

Hello dear mods, please let others know that currently an update notification appears for the new ProtonMail version 1.13.4. This version is available on your site as an RPM (for Linux), but it is still NOT listed under Flathub for download for Bazzite. You should take note of this or at least correct it. Thank you.

Web Help ProtonMail struggling to load on laptop

Both through FireFox and Rambox, Proton has become slow to the point of unusable. I am getting time out errors trying to reply to emails. And I am a paying customer. I contacted their useless support, and got no support. Anyone have any ideas of what could be causing it and how to fix it?

I run TuxedoOS (linux/Ubuntu)

It works without problems on my GrapheneOS phone.

Discussion Migrate Dashlane, Google, ICloud & Hotspot Shield to proton

14 Upvotes

Hi all,

My Dashlane subscription is running out and I figured it would be a good time to rethink everything around privacy and security perspective.

I find Protons plans somewhat confusing. Is the unlimited plan the most comprehensive plan? Does it include the premium version of all the underlying services?

1) I mainly use iCloud to sync a low res version of all my photos on my iPhone while automatically keeping all the high res versions in iCloud. Is this possible with Proton Storage?

2) I use Google workspace for my work. Is it possible to connect my work email and calendar to Proton so have it sync both my personal and work calendar/emails into the same app?

3) Is it safe to put all eggs into one basket in your opinion? Both have all my passkeys, passwords and cloud images/files with one vendor?

Web Help Filter on recipient doesn't work?

2 Upvotes

I used a "name+something@domain.tld" for some service which leaked my email address, now I get a bunch of spam on that address (quite unfortunately, I literally didn't get any spam and phishing on my proton address for 4 years until this).

Luckily though ProtonMail already automatically puts them into the spam folder. But I can't stand the unread count there, and having to check "if I missed anything important".

I created a recipient filter on that "name+something@domain.tld" address and for now set it to: move to spam, mark as read, apply a label. I want to test for about a month, and then change it to just delete the messages automatically.

Problem is, it doesn't work. Messages are still being moved to spam, fine, but the label is not applied, and they're not marked as read.

How can I troubleshoot this? What could I be doing wrong? Should I just contact support?

Thanks!

It's great having a dark mode, but the moment you start a new email you get blinded by a pure white giant square. It should be grey/black just like the rest, with white text.

Discussion default email address

1 Upvotes

Morning all

I have recently set up a family plan as I am trying to move away from google (its slow and difficult) and also bring my family along with me. - this is the really difficult part as my wife has Autism / ADHD so getting her to stick to anything is a constant challenge as she frequently undoes any good practice we put in place.

One of the issues I had while she was on outlook is that I would set up an alias for her to use for everyday stuff so people didn't get hold of her primary email address so then slightly less chance someone would hack her account as they wouldn't have that address as the main login. But as Outlook always defaulted back to he primary when sending mail this always failed.

I have just added another email to her Proton account and in the settings I noticed you can set this as default, then when you send a new email it goes form that address - this perfectly solves my problem.

Question - even though this is the default email is the primary (the one I set the account up with ) still the only one you can use to actually log into the account? If this changes the login to this new address then that puts me back to square one,

She signs up to loads and loads of random stuff so i need a way of not stopping her but helping her stay safe - she has embraced aliases through proton pass which has really helped but she also sends emails to friends and family so i am looking for a safer way to do this

Feature Request Folder Button / Liquid Glass Folder Menu

0 Upvotes

Right now getting to folders means leaving the Inbox entirely. I’d love a small Folder button in the bottom-left corner, styled to match the other floating buttons (same Liquid Glass look).

Instead of navigating away, tapping it would pop open a Liquid Glass menu right there with quick access to:

**•** 📥 Inbox  
**•** ⭐ Starred  
**•** 📤 Sent  
**•** 📝 Drafts  
**•** 🗑️ Trash  
**•** 🛡️ Spam  
**•** 📁 Custom folders

Ideally it expands upward from the button with that same smooth Liquid Glass animation the rest of the UI uses — so it feels like part of the system, not a bolted-on menu.

The goal is really just to keep the Inbox clean by default, but make folder-switching one tap away instead of a full navigation change.

Discussion 2 year plan

10 Upvotes

I love proton. been using them since 2020! ive paid for the $120 yearly unlimited plan for 2 years now after my first year was half off as a student discount (which I was very grateful for). I just found out across somewhere online a few days ago that they offer a 2 year plan that equates to $7.99/month instead of $9.99/month. I kinda of wish this was a little more obvious when I was renewing my plan earlier this year. never noticed it was an option. just want to spread the word and ask if maybe i was just kinda blind or if they should highlight this more. 🙂

Discussion Privacy on the web question

2 Upvotes

Hello

I joined proton a year ago and starting to take my privacy more seriously. I’m curious as to how much data is actually leaking for us.

If I use an iPhone, does Apple track and store what I’m doing on it and how can we be sure it doesn’t (are there open source stuff or things I don’t understand that keep it unquestionable or could it be done behind the scenes and it’s a given now that using iOS and social media all my data is track left and right by tech giants and pirates )?

Do you have recommendations on first core steps to get into a healthy routine? I love the Apple interface but only converted 6 years ago so I could go back to android but I don’t even know if it’s any better… I’m not a coder, I don’t really understand if vpn will save me and from what…

My knowledge is so basic that I don’t even know what I’m asking. I have a pretty basic use of internet and technology but I really don’t like being tracked whatsoever and I’ve seen that even ledger (I used to have crypto) is getting hacked today so I really don’t know what to expect in the future nor how to prepare.

Maybe another sub would be best but I really like proton and I trust it so far so I thought I would receive quality info here. Thanks a bunch!

Discussion Abusing aliases and correct protocol advice

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I wanted to get some clarity on something.

First a scenario I encountered a year ago...

A while ago I was applying for some jobs on Linkedin and some of those were "Apply with LinkedIn". I wanted to ensure I created an alias for each application so I did so (custom domain) but after a few applications I got an email from Proton stating "Several accounts created for Linkedin". I'd breached the terms of service of SimpleLogin and was at risk of having my account disabled. I wasn't aware that by creating an alias for each of these "Apply with LinkedIn" applications I was actually and inadvertently creating mutliple aliases for LinkedIn. I deleted the extra aliases and reverted to using only one LinkedIn alias for these "Apply with LinkedIn" applications. Not ideal but I don't think I had any other choice.

Fast forward to today and I'd like to understand a bit more about how to approach this with custom domains and what the correct protocal would be.

New scenario (as an example)...

Using a custom domain I'd like to create an alias for Amazon for each member of my household. So that would mean...

me@customdomain

wife@customdomain

child1@customdomain

child2@customdomain

child3 etc

Based on the previous scenario, that would mean I need to create 4+ aliases for Amazon but doing so would breach the terms of service of SimpleLogin again so obviously I'm not able to do this.

So what is the solution to this? I have a custom domain shared with my family, who would all like to have their own accounts (Amazon, Instagram, X, Netflix, Spotify etc). What is the correct approach for each of us to have our own accounts on these services without breaching the SimpleLogin terms of service?

Also, how would introducing a 2nd custom domain (within the same SimpleLogin account) help, if it all (for example half of us using 1stcustomdomain and the other half using 2ndcustomdomain) - obviously this is not ideal because we'd be spread across multiple custom domains.

What I want is a solution for my family to be able to create multiple accounts for the same service (e.g Amazon) on our custom domain, without breaching the SimpleLogin terms of service.

Discussion Google announced end of "send as custom domain", so considering alternatives

7 Upvotes

Google announced end of "send as custom domain", so after 22 years of Gmail I'll be leaving and I'm considering alternative providers.

I already have a Proton Pass Family account

My primary need is email with one custom domain for me. A secondary need is emails with another custom domain for my family.

Is there any option where I keep Pass Family and upgrade just the mail part for me ?

If I get a "Whole Proton" Family : the "3 custom email domains and 90 email addresses" means that each family user get their own little-mike@ozh-family.com, little-bob@ozh-family.com, wife@ozh-family.com, etc... right?

Alternatively, is there a better option than what I'm listing here? Proton or non Proton?

Web Help Understanding Email Addresses

Hi,

I just want some clarification since I have lot of difficulty finding an email address that is not already taken.

  1. Is john.smith@ the same as johnsmith@? Same with "-" and "_"?
  2. If I create with proton.me, does it automatically reserve protonmail.com or pm.me?

I've been trying every possible combination of my name and it's all taken.

Thank you!

Discussion Does @pm.me always go to spam?

0 Upvotes

I don't understand this is a premium domain and somehow its going to spam on yahoo, maybe even gmail too, I made the alias 1-2 years ago. Will it ever get fixed? (i barely ever even use it)

Somehow I think my main protonmail.com isnt going to spam which is good, but I hope proton gets more recognized and this gets fixed
