ElectronMail VS proton-mail

an application i use a lot is electronmail, the only problem with it is it's only aur package is a binary that bundles it's own electron. if you could make a package that built it from source and used system electron i would greatly appreciate it!

Using Electron-Mail as a Desktop client on multiple devices (Windows, Linux, MacOS) and can say nothing bad about it - it's basically an electron wrapper with added features - I like having my email in a dedicated app. https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail You could also install the website as an app (should work in most browsers).

Electron-Mail offers offline access/ a database. https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail

You van use Electronmail to do this in the meantime: https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail

also you can look into ElectronMail, which is basically what the official desktop app will probably more or less be

It's not self-hosting, but ElectronMail lets you use ProtonMail in an electron app using their frontend code.

Is there a reason that everyone is asking for an official client and not just using ElectronMail? It's had support for Drive for months

The general go-to recommendation for cross-platform email clients is Mozilla Thunderbird (PrivacyGuides, OpenSource.com). I like to be able to have access to my emails offline and currently, I am using ElectronMail, which encrypts the offline datastore with a password that has be input every time the application is launched (GitHub README.md).

The linked site is very low on info high on outrageous claims. It is not the same as gmail and protons response to that paper are accurate imo. The fact is web clients are inherently insecure but you can run your own client entirely afaik (https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail). I don't think anybody has evidence of wrong doing but the service is proprietary so...

I was switched from beta to stable release but saw another update and when I clicked on it, I was reverted back to the old design and couldn't find a switch to go the beta again. I had to use beta.protonmail.com address to go back to the beta. The information you have written in comments below is inaccurate. I'm a bit disappointed by this.

The new web app has been open source for a while already and can be found here: https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail

Well, to log to beta you can simply go to beta.protonmail.com when needed.

If you want it to, you check check out the beta version (beta.protonmail.com) - that offers the ability to stay logged in on the web.

For example, if I wanted to add beta.protonmail.com to a container, I am running into the issue where I cannot add beta.protonmail.com to always open in a container because as soon as visiting the site, it would redirect to https://account.protonmail.com/login. So the beta.protonmail.com would never open in a container tab, but then it would open the login page by opening a brand new tab.

You've been pointed at https://beta.protonmail.com/ already.

Hi! Have you checked out beta.protonmail.com? It has a sleek new interface, and we think the login page will be more to your liking :)
