Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros It sometimes works well. With the snap package its impossible to attach any files as all you see is small square boxes, no names at all. I have contacted support a couple of times and they were no help at all. The program is also extremely slow at everything, will be trying a different email client from now on. It was ok, it worked well enough in general. I've tried a lot of email apps and this is far and away my favorite. That's why our whole team switched to BlueMail from outlook. 1. Very clean interface across all phones and computers 2. Includes calendar and zero inbox with a kanban board! 3. The new GEM AI feature is superb, especially for replying, it's just amazing! 4. Very logical Settings menu. 5. Easy to preview and delete emails including the clusters which is perfect. 6, Configured to download and sync emails for offline viewing for 2 weeks by default but can be changed. 7. Use volume control buttons to move forwards and backwards through emails (or disable this feature). Many customizable features. 8. Automatic dark mode according to my device mode It is easy to install and setup. It is also fairly easy to setup folders and sub folders to organize your mail. It is also free. Cons They have a habit of issuing "updates" that make the software completely unusable. The latest adventure: Following an update last week, every time you try to open an email, a completely random different email pops up instead of the one you selected. The good: They instantly responded to email, acknowledged the issue, and said they were prioritizing a fix. The bad: They've aggressively made it impossible to roll back to the last version, so until they get around to that fix, email is essentially unusable. Inability to attach any files all I can see is squares. its a common issue with snap programs. Message window does not open in it's own window like you would expect. This is a single window product so using with multiple monitors is not an option. That was how it worked when I tried it, maybe they've changed that, I did complain about it to them. The only thing I'm lacking at the moment is the ability to sort the inbox by reverse order. I know not many users use it, but I find it useful sometimes. However, with the BlueMail clusters, I am able to use a similar workflow. I have found a few things that could be improved. If I leave my computer running over night and BlueMail open the next day the whole computer is pretty much brought to a stand still. A reboot is needed to solve the speed problem. It does not have its own spelling checker. Some functions are extremely slow, such as moving an email from inbox to a specific folder. Trying to get your pointer on the small sidebar to move your folders up and down is VERY difficult.		Pros from Real Users Pros All tools in one place — Mail, Drive, VPN, Calendar — make work simple and efficient. Seamless sync across devices keeps everything smooth and effortless, with flexible plans for any need. Trustworthy service from Switzerland. So its Europe. proton meets all legal requirements, so it is perfect for business. Availability is very good. I like the fact that it was constructed around account safety and it has a fresh interface. It has a lot of features and it is quite affordable for regular users. - Easy to use, - Open source, - Possible to use with a custom domain (requires a premium subscription), - Privacy orientated (something truly rare these days!) The web client is great for all my needs, and ProtonMail is a privacy-respecting e-mail provider, based on Switzerland. The # draw is that this is a secure, privacy-focused email alternative. It also has a very sleek interface. Can encrypt if you want, or not. All settings are available and it is easy to set up everything. Have a free version that I am currently using and it is not restricted in any way. Allows for two-factor authorization. ProtonMail offers encrypted emails, so it's a good option for those looking for a more private, secure email service compared to the bigger ones out there like Gmail and Outlook. It's got fairly priced options, and the free version isn't too bad either. I love that my emails are end to end encrypted. I found out that Gmail reads my emails and I quickly signed up for the free version. Open source Easy to use Good security and privacy Multi level security and encryption Free tier Mobile version alongside web version
