Summary
In a recent article for MakeUseOf, the author explained that they have been looking at various privacy-focused email clients to improve digital hygiene, with Proton Mail being their favourite so far, although it still lacks some key features to fully switch from Gmail.
The first positive point of Proton Mail is its enhanced security features such as self-destructing messages, zero-access encryption, and its PhishGuard tool.
Secondly, the author likes Proton Mail’s user interface, with a consistent design across desktop and mobile, as well as the ability to customise fonts, themes and animations.
Other positives include the ability to forward inbox emails to another account and unsubscribe from newsletters with a built-in feature.
However, the limitations of Proton Mail are only 1GB of free storage, unlike Gmail which offers 15GB for free, better segmentation of emails and less integration with third-party applications.
