I see this block every time I open my email. Is this a bug I'm facing or is this the new normal?

Hi everyone,

We've been listening to your feedback, and today we're excited to announce the launch of the Pass Family plan! Many of you have been asking for a way to manage your family's online security and passwords, and we're happy to deliver.

Lock in our limited-time price of $3.99/mo for 12 months - forever! proton.me/pass/family

What do I get?

Protecting your online identity is just the starting point. Keeping your children's online identities safe and helping your parents avoid the 'forgot my password' cycle are equally crucial.

Here’s what’s included:

• Premium features for up to 6 people, so you can keep your whole family's online identity safe
• Simple and secure password sharing
• Integrated 2FA, for an extra layer of protection
• Hide-my-email aliases, to help you cut down on spam and unwanted emails

We hope this new plan will help you and your loved ones stay safe online. Let us know what you think, and as always, thank you for being part of the Proton community!

Proton Team

Edit: for anyone on the legacy $1/m plan, we'll be sending out an email soon with upgrade details. You can use the coupon code PASSEARLYSUPPORTER and it should work automatically for those eligible. Contact support if you need any assistance.

Edit 2: If you're already on the Proton Family plan, you already have access to Proton Pass.

When proton first added docs you could only edit them through a browser. I just noticed today that they added it to the android app!

i have a custom domain witg catch all setup on protonmail. Is there a way to send every email that is sent to a specific address to spam always?

i.e. if I gave a company A the email "[email protected]" and no longer want any emails from them, or anyone with who knows that specific email, how would I go about this? Thanks!

I used to be a command line interface (CLI) user and still prefer it, but the graphical user interface (GUI) app has been good—it's stable and fast with WireGuard.

It will reconnect if the connection drops, and the kill switch is functioning. If you're using the v3 CLI, you should check out the new GUI.

A big thank you to the dev

until there is a cli, i will using the gui

I downloaded ProtonVPN (5.5.68.0) a few months ago via the Google Play Store and have been happily using it ‘anonymously’ as a Guest with no problem. I recently purchased a new Android device and this time I chose to download the same VPN (5.5.68.0) via F-Droid to maintain some privacy. However, there appears to be no option in the FOSS version of the app to use Proton VPN as a guest - I am told I have to sign-up with an actual email address.

For a company claiming they are "Empowering you to choose a better internet where privacy is the default. Protect yourself online with... Proton VPN" (look to the right of this page), this decision astounds me. Assuming the error is not on my part, why is the purported FOSS version on F-Droid forcing users to give identifiable information (even if it’s only an email address and password), but the Google Android version does not?

When protonvpn is in tiling mode, it leaves a lot of unused space

On desktop, the submit a post page will load indefinitely without proceeding when connected with Proton. On mobile (using Boost for Lemmy), I always get "an unknown error occurred" when submitting anything to Lemmy. Anyone else having this issue?

The new "Omnibus" law in italy tries to block piracy by basically creating a situation in which you will face jail time if you get caught watching an illegal streaming (or your IP does) and ISP and IP providers (they name VPN and DNS services) will face jail time too if they don't notify the authorities of "illegal activity" done by their users.

E.g. if I watch a soccer streaming from a pirate site, apparently, my VPN provider (in this case, Proton) will have to notify the authorities that I am watching that pirated content.

This is madness in so many ways, starting by the fact that the law implies that both my ISP and my VPN provider must spy my traffic to see if I am watching any illegal content.

I wanted to know if Proton has anything to say about all of this for their Italian customers. How are you guys going to face this? Will you simply stop providing the service? Will you ignore the law because you are not an italian company? Or will you spy our traffic to see if we are watching a soccer game?

I'm quite worried right now about the implications of this law to my privacy. Not because I pirate content but because the punishement for those who don't notify the authorities means that to avoid legal problems, services like Proton will have to actually read our traffic.

I don't think I understand. THe free plan allows

10 aliases
1 mailbox

But now I can't create any reverse alias at all

I have the "HOLIDAYS" calendar loaded for the US in the Proton Calendar app but Oct 14, Columbus Day isn't included. I know it's a contentious "holiday" but it's still listed as a Federal Holiday and should be included.

Hi. I would love to get notifications on GrapheneOS without any Google Play Services etc. or any MicroG or equivalent. (For ProtonMail)

I have seen posts that indicate that the Proton team is aware of this, and wanted to implement it (and has on their other apps) but is there any way to either tell them that this is desired, or make a poll or something?

I self host several things including ntfy, so is there any way to use that for notifications? Does Proton Mail have an API that I could use to programmatically send notifications?

I just found out that Pass has offline mode from a recent email they sent and found language saying the same in the browser extension (see below). Proton is blocked on my work's network for some reason so as far as Proton is concerned I'm "offline", but I still can't access the credentials stored in the browser extension when I'm at work.

Can someone help explain?

• Quick offline access to your login data: Access your stored passwords and notes in Pass from wherever you are, even when you don’t have internet connection. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/proton-pass/

And this is from their recent email

Hi everyone,

We’re happy to share that Proton Mail on iOS now supports dynamic font sizes. Here’s how it works:

• Select your preferred font size in the iOS settings menu > Display & Brightness > Text Size
• Open the Proton Mail app. The app now uses your preferred font size.
• Goodbye eye strain

You can also add text size to your iOS Control Center to access it anytime.

Let us know what you think! You can also propose, vote, and discuss feature requests on User Voice.

I would like to add an image by link, instead of uploading, would that be a feature planned for protonmail?

When I connected to the "fastest server" this morning, it appeared at first to connect me to a US server in Chicago. Then I visited a sports site and got the European version. Odd. So I went to check browserleaks, and lo and behold, for some reason or another I was in Czechia (is it still called the Czech Republic?). Anyway, I tried a few others in that range and they all go there. Also, I've mentioned in a couple places before, but various US-TX servers also act like they're in Europe, even though they do initially appear to be in the US, because even though browserleaks shows the Texas ones as a US IP, the network shows some European company so some sites treat them like Europe.

I'm trying to figure out how to save a batch of emails, after I sort various emails into various folders. Assume I have all emails I sent to Smith, in a specific year, moved to folders with names like SMITH-SENT-2022, SMITH-SENT-2023, etc, and all emails I received from Smith in a separate set, sorted by year. Can I transfer all of the emails in any single specific folder, to some sort of file I can work with, either in EML code (for Outlook), or as pdf, txt, doc, or any other common format. And, can I keep the readable non-encrypted names of those emails as they are, when I open the Proton email program and read them? BTW, I downloaded and tried the "Export" tool, but I could only get a set of over 1000 EML files, totally unsorted, with encrypted names that give me no clue re: what is in any specific file.
