Proton Mail Arvostelua 

Not the smartest processes when paying for an account.
Please sort out your ease of use re payments, its a mess.

I paid for Proton Duo, which is a lot of money for me, and I originally liked the platform, especially the privacy focus and clean design. However, my experience became very frustrating when I tried to forward or export a full conversation and found that the platform does not properly support this in the way I needed.

I contacted support, but the process was not helpful for me. I also requested a refund after limited usage, but the refund was refused and I was repeatedly asked for more proof. This took too much time and became overwhelming.

I have since cancelled my renewal and moved my account back to the free plan. I may close or stop using the platform fully. Proton has good features, but the customer support experience, refund handling, and limitation with forwarding/exporting full conversations were disappointing, especially after paying for Proton Duo.
I hope Proton improves full conversation export/forwarding options and makes refund/support communication clearer and easier for customers.

Just be aware that this company deletes all email when they deem your account inactive. I can even still Log in with my hotmail account the dates from the stone ages. I must have not read the rules but honestly would never have thought this to be a rule. My correspondence is my correspondence, I thought. No warning on my second email about this.

Une CATASTROPHE. Le service clients est tout en anglais et avec un robot qui ne comprend rien!!!!

IMPOSSIBLE. je suis débité tous les mois de 4,99€. J'ai été obligé de faire opposition à ma CB (avec obligation de refaire mes paiements pour mes autres abonnements). C'est inadmissible .
Je vais étudier un autre service qui serait meilleur pour ceux qui ne parle pas l'anglais (Info...)

Ich gebe 3 Punkte, weil ich zuerst massive Schwierigkeiten mit Proton hatte. Im Voraus bezahlte Dienstleistung nicht, bzw. nur eingeschränkt bekommen, Konto deaktiviert, alle Daten weg, dass ich mein Geld wieder bekommen habe, grenzt an ein Wunder.
Aber nach vielen schlaflosen Nächten und massivem Ärger habe ich nun wieder alles zusammen. Auf meine Daten konnte ich wieder zugreifen, Geld habe ich zurückbekommen.

An Proton gerichtet: Support könnte wohl besser sein, wie man ein Backup vom Mac macht, weiß ich bis heute nicht und wird auch nirgendwo beschrieben. Und genau deshalb habe ich die Proton Dienstleistung gekauft. Es hat nicht funktioniert, schade.
Mein Konto behalte ich.
Danke.

As a free user of Protonmail, I am fully satisfied with the quality of message encryption, storage capacity, quality of the technical support and intuitive, easy-to-operate user interface. I have been using ProtonMail for 6 years, and I am fully satisfied with this service. Have a nice summer.

Les mails ne sont parfois pas reçu par le destinataire et l’expéditeur n'en ai pas informé. Mail renvoyé dans les spams peut être? donc peu fiable, dommage...

Even with the assistance of AI it is impossible to find the way to cancel your package.... So I had only one option: block them on my Revolut...

not useful for daily use. some websites/logins, never sent me the first accept-mail with the code to verify.
i looked it up and it seems that protonmail is on some sort of blacklist of certain email providers that company uses.
idk who this would be for

Ich kann es einfach nicht fassen! Verkaufstrategie in eine ausgereizte Form! Das Konto konnte ich nicht löschen aber abmelden und deinstallieren durfte ich es noch! Was ein Reinfall!

Cancelled but these thieves still took a payment from my account. Just another bunch of VPN scammers and criminals. Don't fall for their 'we're different and genuine spiel'. AVOID!

I can weirdly enough only make a judgement on Proton mail. But the company have paying plans for cloud drive, mail, AI LLM and more. It seems like ever basic plan cost 10 Euro at month. If you want all of their plans you would pay like 100 Euro a months for programs that are inferior to the like of Google or Microsoft. Yes you get a promise of them respecting GDPR. But they are ten times more expensive that everyone else. I would like if they had a total package including all of their products at a price a normal human can pay

Ottimo servizio, ero convinto della mia scelta. Solo, molte mail non mi arrivano: guardare spam, cestino, tutti i messaggi non serve. Ottimo servizio, ma le mail devono arrivare.

Well Proton support is not available, there is no help too get but im paying for there mail app an di can´t read my mails

I use their free tier and I really like it. I switched for the increased privacy (3 yrs ago) and have seen no downside. I use gmail at work and there's nothing google offers that I don't get with proton mail. I've slowly been buying into their whole eco system of apps. Planning on getting a paid account soon.

I'm surprised people are so negative on the reviews. Some are people complaining that losing their password encrypts their old emails.. That is how it works unfortunately. Privacy comes at the cost of convenience.

Reached out to customer support once and got what I needed dead quick. Great given I am on a free tier.

Was a premium user for a couple of years. Then I spotted a transaction of £1 by proton from my PayPal account which I did not authorise so I queried it with PayPal. At that Proton froze my account. It took an awful lot of effort to get it back. I decided to use another email provider and simply revert to a free Proton account. Mysteriously, I am now locked out of my free Proton account! Avoid proton it will just frustrate you

Finger weg
, Mail einfach wegen Inaktivität gelöscht, darf nun gucken wie ich an meine Account Daten komme welche über diese Mail laufen... Bei anderen Providern war Inaktivität nie ein Problem...und die werben mit besonderer Sicherheit und Datenschutz... Das ich nicht lache

Sono passata da Gmail a Proton con grandissime aspettative sulla privacy invece vengo inondata quotidianamente di email di pubblicità! Ridicoli!!!

I had ProtonMail accounts since 2019. Without any warning, they permanently suspended all of them. When I asked for clarification, support replied:

“Be advised that your account has been disabled as a result of a direct connection to an account that was taken down due to violations of our terms and conditions while being used in a malicious manner… We consider that allowing access to your account will cause further damage to our service, therefore we will keep the account suspended.”

They never gave any specific evidence or details. When I asked for the actual reason, they ignored me.

The irony is painful: ProtonMail markets itself as a privacy-first service, yet they were able to “link” and ban all my accounts based on vague “connections.”

Be extremely careful paying for their service. You can lose everything overnight with almost no recourse.

I switched to Tuta and couldn’t be happier.

EDIT 06/29:

Proton, you don't need my ticket number. Respond to all your unanswered queries and eventually you'll respond to mine.
