50 Reasons to Switch to Proton Mail

Fifty reasons to switch to Proton Mail, each linked to an email privacy guide.

Email contains receipts, account resets, and intimate correspondence.

Association with a cause should not automatically expose the address used for banking or family mail.

Career moves can be sensitive.

A newsletter signup can spread beyond the publisher through partners, brokers, or a breach.

Ordinary email to another provider may be readable by that provider.

A sensitive link should not stay available indefinitely after its purpose ends.

A contact's unwillingness to change providers does not have to force plaintext email.

Encryption to the wrong key can defeat the point of a protected message.

A changed key can be legitimate, but it deserves attention before confidential mail goes out.

A secure-looking inbox does not mean every route to an outside recipient had end-to-end protection.

A stolen password can give an intruder access to your inbox and the reset links for many other accounts.

A quiet account takeover can continue while you assume your mailbox is safe.

A fake invoice or reset notice can take credentials in minutes.

A link can display one name while sending you to a lookalike login page.

Malicious attachments and scam campaigns often arrive as ordinary-looking mail.

A contact book can expose the identities and personal details of many people besides you.

Changing a stored contact detail could redirect a private message or call toward an attacker.

Messages about a diagnosis, debt, or a dispute can remain in a mailbox for years.

A mailbox breach can expose years of intimate content if the server stores it in readable form.
