Proton Mail Expands Gmail Off-Ramp, Lets You Send from Your Gmail Address

Proton Mail is expanding its Easy Switch off-ramp from Gmail, now allowing users to send from a Gmail address inside Proton and import Gmail data (attachments, calendars, contacts, and more), while promising stronger privacy through end-to-end encryption and removal of trackers, ads, and spam; Google can’t read your email activity once connected, Proton can auto-pull new messages, and Gmail access to the Proton inbox is not granted, though users can still manage Gmail messages with other clients.

Proton Mail Launches Desktop App for Encrypted Email and Calendar

Proton has launched a desktop app for its encrypted email service, Proton Mail, allowing users to access their emails and calendar offline. The app, currently in beta, is optimized for Windows and macOS and offers end-to-end encryption for sent emails. While offline access to emails will be available soon, users previously had to configure their accounts with the Proton Mail Bridge to access emails offline through other email clients. The desktop app also introduces encrypted auto-forwarding for paid users, with improvements made to Proton Calendar. Initially, access to the desktop app is limited to paid "Visionary" tier users, with plans to make it available to all users in early 2024.

Switching from Gmail to a Privacy-Focused Email Provider Made Simple.

The author moved over 15 years of email messages from Gmail to Proton Mail, a smaller email provider in Switzerland, using the "Easy Switch" feature. Proton Mail is a more secure and private email service that doesn't sell ads or make money from personal information. The author suggests that moving digital lives should be as easy as ordering a pizza. European regulation, such as the General Data Protection Regulation, has made it easier for people to move their data from one digital service to another. The author believes that the fear of losing customers is what keeps innovation alive for technology companies.
