  • you can now send emails from your Gmail address directly inside Proton Mail.

    This is the big change. So far importing and setting up forwarding from Gmail was trivial. Sending from the Gmail address (including replying to an email sent to the Gmail address with the receiving address) was not possible without an email client with separate SMTP setup. And an email client coildn’t be used without running IMAP bridge on your own machine, due to Proton’s encryption. The ability to send from your Gmail address from Proton obviates all that.











  • To support people who have multiple inboxes with other providers and are in the process of switching to Proton, we’re evolving our Forwarding feature. Soon, you’ll be able to send and receive emails from your existing Gmail email address directly from your new Proton Mail inbox.

    This is really important for migration of existing users. I’m currently doing it with alt ident in Thunderbird but that requires Proton Bridge running on my infra. For family and friends, this should be a feature native to Proton Mail itself.









  • “I enjoy thinking about business things on the weekends,” the 61-year-old admitted. “I do emails, and I read my papers and all of that. Do I feel that that is a big pressure? No … I enjoy doing that. So I don’t feel I need to think about how I balance my life.”

    His advice for anyone who lives for the weekend? “I think the advice here is to take some time to think about what you like doing,” he added. “Don’t do a job that you don’t like, so then you need balance.”

    Utterly severed from the reality of the working class.
