from the team:
Hi everyone,
We’re happy to announce that the new, rewritten Proton Mail Android app is now available to all Proton users on the Google Play store!
For everyone on de-Googled Android devices, you can find the APK file here.
We’ve improved performance and reliability, with up to a 5x reduction in crashes since we started rolling out the updated version. Since the first beta, we’ve added back key features:
🗒️ create and manage your contact group lists
🔑 send password-protected emails (i.e. protect your communication with non-Proton accounts)
💣 set an expiration date to your emails
🗓️ jump directly from your inbox to your Proton Calendar
🌗 switch between light and dark mode
🔒 protect the app with biometric lock
This development provides a solid foundation for delivering new features faster in the future.
We’re looking forward to your feedback, and we’re keeping an eye on our UserVoice to help us decide which features to prioritize next.
Best,
The Proton Team
PROTON DRIVE FOR LINUX WHEEEEEN???
Even more than that I want them to add the windows version functionality to the skeleton that is the Linux VPN client. Seems absurd that I can’t make it remember the login password
Also, please give mailbridge autostart options, I really dont need to see the window at all unless the connection isnt working.
Vote here and leave a message to let Proton know how important a Linux client for Proton Drive is.
Proton Mail used to be available on IzzyOnDroid’s F-Droid repository but I can’t find it there anymore.
Will it come back? or even better, will it come to the official F-Droid repository?
obtanium+apk link
repos are nice, but there will always be a couple of stragglers. Might as well have a work around.
How about unified push support? I’ve never gotten push notifications from the proton app since I’ve been using it in 2018 because of the fact that I do not have Google Play Services installed, so I have to actually be like a caveman and manually check my email several times a day.
Why didn’t they put it on F-Droid? And does Proton mail support connecting via SMTP or POP from third party clients, like every other mail service does, yet?
POP from third party clients, like every other mail service does, yet?
The native Proton applications are needed due to the encryption of Proton Mail. 3rd party clients do not work for this reason.
Only because of the bridge, which is handling the encryption part. That works on Mac as well as on Linux also.
However an integration to 3rd party clients without such an encryption layer (Bridge) doesn’t work.
Fdroid when?
