ElectronMail for Windows

Quick summary

ElectronMail is a free, unofficial desktop program that provides a native-looking interface for ProtonMail. It was developed using the Electron framework to run on Windows and aims to bring ProtonMail’s encrypted email features into a standalone application rather than the browser.

Key features and functions

• Mailbox organization tools for sorting, labeling, and viewing folders from a desktop layout
• Contact list management, including easy access to address book entries and quick selection when composing messages
• Full support for composing, sending, and retrieving end-to-end encrypted emails as provided by ProtonMail

Privacy and usability focus

The app places a strong emphasis on keeping communications private and secure, preserving ProtonMail’s encryption model. Its layout is intended to be intuitive, so users who prefer a desktop workflow can access common email tasks with minimal friction.

Technical platform

Built with Electron, the application integrates with Windows to offer native windowing and system behavior while leveraging web technologies under the hood. This approach allows the desktop client to mirror many of the features available in the ProtonMail web interface.

Alternative options

• ProtonMail Bridge (for users who want native IMAP/SMTP client integration; requires a paid ProtonMail account)
• SHAREit (free)
