For those of you who have been using Proton Mail for a year or longer, how reliable have you found it? Have you encountered any instances where websites didn’t accept or didn’t deliver to you Proton email address? Have you ever had trouble accessing Proton Mail while travelling?
I’m looking to try some of the Proton services soon, so I’d appreciate some honest experience from real users. Thanks!
Been using it for a bit over a year now. I’ve basically phased out all Google products, and I don’t plan to go back. That said, I wish they would focus more on polishing the user experience than making new apps. The android and Linux experience are very poor right now, though they keep claiming they will get better soon.
I feel the spam filter is as strong as Google. Receive a lot of spam, even though I didn’t put my email on a random website, but the spam is not blocked.
2 year Proton user here, The only real issues I’ve encountered are the occasional short downtimes (they really aren’t often). If you’re ever worried about their status, they do have a status page here. I haven’t ever had any trouble with people not receiving emails from me, and I don’t travel as of right now. Anyways, I’d give their free plan a try and go from there, just to see what you think, but I think it’s a fantastic option.
been using it for years and paying. Just went all in on the pro plan to get the VPN. No issues. Maybe the iOS app can be bit slow to refresh but…
Development is slow because of how much testing/refining they do. I’ve never not got an email or been unable to access it, even while traveling in the US & Canada. If your looking at the free tier the biggest issue at least for me would be the 500MB (1GB after steps taken).
I also have probably 30 email filters setup for absolute automation to set folders and tags to keep it all organized – Super easy to setup compared to other email services.
