Proton Mail primary source of revenue has always been donations and our strength really comes from the amazing community that has been supporting us since our first crowdfunding campaign (new window). In the meantime, interested users can still sign up for the secure email mobile app beta here (new window).įinally, Proton Mail 3.0 isn’t just about a new look and new features, it also signals the next phase of our journey towards bringing easy to use secure email to the mainstream (new window).
#PROTON DRIVE RELEASE DATE ANDROID#
We anticipate that both iOS and Android should be ready for public release in January. This group of early adopters have provided valuable feedback which has allowed us to dramatically improve the apps in the past couple months. The Proton Mail iOS and Android secure email mobile apps have been in beta since August 2015 (new window) and during that time, we have had thousands of users sign up to be beta testers. We hope to be able to permanently eliminate the waiting list with our launch.įourth, we will try to launch our iOS and Android applications in the App Store and Play Store at the same time as webmail launch. We have tripled our server capacity, which means we will finally be able to invite everybody on our waiting list, and even remove the waiting list itself.
Third, our launch will also be accompanied by huge increases in our backend infrastructure (new window). We want to make the Proton Mail encrypted email service not only the most secure email service out there, but also the most easy to use one. Proton Mail 3.0 will bring a complete transformation of the user interface which will make Proton Mail’s usability competitive with the best email services out there.
#PROTON DRIVE RELEASE DATE UPDATE#
From a tech perspective, Proton Mail 2.0 was our largest update so far, but most of the changes were invisible to the users – the look, feel, and behavior was largely consistent with Proton Mail 1.0. Second, Proton Mail 3.0 will bring with it a host of new features. With 3.0, Proton Mail will finally be ready to leave beta after nearly two years. The Proton Mail secure email service has been in beta since May 2014 and during this time we have come a long way, with the last major milestone being the Proton Mail 2.0 beta release in August (new window). First, we will be releasing Proton Mail 3.0, which will be the first non-beta version of Proton Mail. The Proton Mail launch will bring five major changes. If you can’t wait for the launch to try our secure email service (new window), it is possible already to get an account by signing up here: (new window) While these factors do unfortunately push the launch back quite a bit, we will take the additional time to build more features into the launch version of Proton Mail. We also want to avoid the first half of January due to Orthodox Christmas. While it would still be possible to launch in the second half of December, this is unfortunately too close to the holidays and we won’t be fully staffed.
This effort has been successful and in the past few weeks, we have been able to successfully defend against continued DDoS attacks in the 40-50 Gbps range without service disruptions. This additional time was needed to fully harden our infrastructure against all future attacks of this sort. We originally anticipated being able to launch in early-December, but unfortunately the DDoS attack against our infrastructure (new window) set back our schedule by approximately 2 weeks. In the last couple months, our team has been working very hard to prepare and we are currently targeting January 26th, 2016 for the official launch. Proton Mail will be launching on January 26th, 2016 with our first non-beta release. Last update on NovemPublished on DecemWe are happy to announce that the Proton Mail secure email service now has an official release date!
