Switch to Protonmail Reason #38: Give non-Proton contacts a secure way to reply to a password-protected message
A protected first message is only half a conversation if the response returns through ordinary email.
Why this matters
A protected first message is only half a conversation if the response returns through ordinary email. Privacy is easier to defend before this information is collected than after it has spread.
The protection
The external encrypted message portal allows the recipient to reply securely within its limits.
Take action
Explain how to use the protected reply link and verify later messages stay protected. Your own subsequent replies require encryption to be re-enabled. 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.
