proton-mail-android VS ios-mail

For the reference project, I've chosen the ProtonMail Android App, which is one of the largest open-source Android apps that has not been modularised yet. With over 50kloc in the main module, it truly represents a monolith that is worth modularising.

They do. You don't need Google Play to download it. They have the official APK on their website & you can also download it from their GitHub.

You could just use any RSS reader to get a notification https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail-android/releases.atom

Curious how the Play Store has a newer version of the Android app (3.0.15) than the latest release on GitHub (3.0.14). Is there some other source repository than this GitHub repo?

For example, here is the code source for the Android mail app. Is is released under GPL-3.0 which **basically** says "you take use this for whatever you want, but it must also be released under GPL-3.0.".

Do you have microG disabled? If so, we sent a patch to them to fix the crash, https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail-android/pull/172

Proton Mail (version 918): World’s largest encrypted email service - easy to use, free for all

I see that Proton (https://proton.me/) offers a fuller suite of tools these days beyond just mail: calendar/password manager/cloud storage/vpn

The pricing looks pretty good too at $9.99/month for everything

Has anyone migrated everything to them? How is it if so?

I currently pay for a Google Workspace on my own domain and iCloud for storage, which already amounts to more than Proton are charging (and Proton allows 3 custom domains for email vs Googles 1)

I've been running my own email server for the last 10 years or so using iRedMail / CentOS on a cheap VM. It requires very little maintenance and I never have problems with delivery (just make sure you have DMARC, DKIM, SPF, all setup).

Occasionally I consider moving to service provider but I don't really trust any of them with something so important. Especially Google, as there are so many cases of people getting locked out of their account with virtually no support available to them.

If I were going to switch to a provider, it would likely be Proton. They are based out of Switzerland and as far as I know have an outstanding reputation.

If you have Proton VPN installed on an iOS, MacOS, or Android device, could you please try switching to the Stealth protocol (https://protonvpn.com/blog/stealth-vpn-protocol/) to see if you will be able to successfully connect afterwards. If you do manage to connect to a VPN server with the Stealth protocol, please try accessing proton.me afterwards and let us know how it goes.

Just for science, you should try a different VPN. You can get Proton for free if you sign up for Proton email at Proton.me. It’s at least another data point.

Meanwhile, you could try accessing proton.me from another web browser, disable any browser extensions on your current web browser, and make sure you can access any other websites on the same setup.

So two days ago I signed up with a fresh account with Brave, a VPN, and a fresh proton.me email. Went thru fine-- no problems, and used the site since. I used the site on my phone with the Brave browser, and fine again.

Proton AG is a privately-owned company and does not publish financial information, which makes assessing their future success or failure, or product strategy, difficult to predict. Any voluntarily released information is available through their website under Who We Are and Resources & Support, much of which is summarized on Wikipedia). I doubt that an officer or employee of Proton will provide insider information on Reddit that isn't already on the Proton website. Someone else here, who might be closer to the company, might be able to share better insights, but I see no reports of financial distress. I judge the financial and organizational stability of Proton to be at least equal to any of its competitors, and better than most. But these are my opinions and I have little concrete evidence to support them.

Proton is a decent alternative for email and calendar among others if you value privacy
