Switch to Protonmail Reason #1: Keep your stored mailbox from becoming a readable corporate dossier
Years of receipts, family notes, and account messages can disclose the shape of a life.
Why this matters
Years of receipts, family notes, and account messages can disclose the shape of a life. A provider with routine access to message contents holds an unusually intimate record. Privacy is easier to defend before this information is collected than after it has spread.
The protection
Proton stores mailbox messages and attachments with zero-access encryption, limiting its ability to read stored content.
Take action
Move future sensitive correspondence to Proton Mail. Messages exchanged with outside providers need separate end-to-end measures if transit secrecy matters. Email protection depends on the route and settings. Ordinary mail involving outside providers is not automatically end-to-end encrypted, and email metadata is not universally hidden.
