More "progress" from ProtonMail, while they still provide no way to export emails in bulk. They recommend you forward every individual email or print it.

The Export feature has been an open request since before March 2015.

Another feature which would give users a way to get their mail out of PM is the ability to check mail from a client like Outlook or Thunderbird. That has been an open feature request since before February 2015.

They, as with other companies that refuse to listen to their customers, will eventually fail. Of course failure may mean being bought by a larger competitor (and a few of the bad decision-makers cashing out)...

This is a little bit "late". Fastmail has supported Bitcoin payment for a very long time. In fact, I was surprised last year when I wanted to try proton mail and they didn't have Bitcoin payments.

So you couldn't just use a CC or some other form of payment? Seriously?

I expect that's not the point he was trying to make. I believe he/she was stating their surprise that bitcoin was not a payment option back then. "Seriously."

I'm thinking of switching my business email to protonmail from gmail.

Any users like it ?

The whole google memo revealed google employees are not as trustworthy as I thought. All the social media talk of blacklists, and inquisition tactics from some of upper management is bad for business.

I've already gotten emails from clients asking me to change their business google services to something else (anything else in their own words).

ProtonMail's priorities have always been sporadic.

Everything they do is late, they got first to the market and stalled since then, the only improvement over the last years was that the UI transformed from being utter shit to a "passable" one.

What made you feel this way, specifically, in the memo?

I just set it up for my custom domain and it could not have been any simpler or easier. They have a really clean UI/status checks for setting up MX/SPF/DKIM/DMARC, I setup some custom addresses and a catch-all and it all just worked.

Try to relax a bit. It is good for your health. :) Both of those features are under development. If you would like to see them sooner rather than later, perhaps you know some great programmers that you could recommend to careers@protonmail.ch? Or, you could share ProtonMail's Careers page: https://protonmail.com/careers

ProtonMail is hiring!
