Just remember that, unlike the previous two services we looked at, ProtonMail protects your identity from outside snooping, but not from the person you send the message to, unless you refrain from registering using your real name, something we don’t recommend. It’s one of the most polished products here and an important tool in your personal privacy kit. To top it all off, ProtonMail doesn’t keep any logs, so no one can associate you with your ProtonMail account. ![]() It’s based on Open Source technology, so it’s been checked for hidden code and back doors by a community of independent contributors. They use end-to-end encryption as well, which means that even ProtonMail doesn’t know the content of your emails. The company is, however, based in Switzerland, which is known for its strong privacy laws. ![]() So you have to trust the people behind ProtonMail when it comes to protecting your privacy. This means it’s not anonymous in the sense that the provider itself has information on you. ProtonMail is free, but it requires that you sign up for an account.
