About
Proton Mail is an encrypted email app that protects your communications with end-to-end encryption, making messages unreadable to anyone except sender and recipient. Create a @proton.me or @protonmail.com address, send and receive encrypted emails and attachments, manage multiple accounts, and organize your inbox with folders, labels, and swipe gestures.
