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
At least on Windows it works with Thunderbird.
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.
For those unaware, proton mail bridge is a program that sets up a local proton proxy that decrypts the emails then serves them up via a local imap server. Thus the “bridge.” So Thunderbird isn’t pulling from proton, the bridge is pulling the encrypted mailbox and decrypting, Thunderbird pulls from local unencrypted bridge.
