Unofficial desktop client for ProtonMail

Note: While Unofficial desktop client for ProtonMail itself is a free and open-source application, the ProtonMail service offers various other pricing plans. It's worth pointing out that in the FREE plan, storage is limited to just 1 GB. Other restrictions include a maximum number of 150 messages per day, limited support, only 3 folders, and no custom-filters.

You may have heard about ProtonMail - a Swiss email service that's mostly known for using end-to-end encryption in order to keep your privacy untouched.

If you're already a user of the service in question, then you might know that the service can be accessed either via the dedicated mobile clients for iOS and Android or by using the service's official web application.

However, as we're sure most of you agree, accessing webmail clients via web browsers is not particularly ideal, especially if you need to use the browser for various other tasks at the same moment.

Since there's no official client for Windows, as a PC user, you're left with two choices: you can either use the web application, or you can employ the services offered by Unofficial desktop client for ProtonMail — an alternative ProtonMail client.

In just a few words, this is an Electron-based wrapper that basically brings the whole functionality of the web app from the browser and to your computer's desktop, for a touch of convenience.

There are a couple of other reasons why you might want to use this unofficial client, as well. For starters, it also features taskbar integration, which makes it a bit easier to access in most conditions.

Even more important is the fact that it allows you to work with multiple ProtonMail accounts at the same time and from the same place, something that can't be done with most day-to-day web browsers. Last but not least, the wrapper also comes with support for native notifications, so there are even lesser chances of you missing out on crucial new emails.

Taking everything into account, if you're an active ProtonMail user, there's really no reason why you shouldn't make use of this unofficial client built with web technologies. Not only does it offer you a more accessible way of handling your emails, but it also allows you to work with multiple accounts from the same place.

Oh, and you should not worry about the app's response times, even though you're not particularly fond of Electron apps. The application works smooth, with fast loading times and without any other annoying niggles. And, it's also available for macOS and Linux.
