Protonmail emails are end-to-end encrypted such that the staff can’t just login to the database and read your email. Sure, maybe it’s not going to protect you from the NSA, but it’s a lot better than leaving everyone’s emails unencrypted at rest for any admin to access.
- Vlad81b 5y agoAnd you send over insecure protocol like SMTP? Yes, it encrypt on server but does not encrypt sending and recv - email protocol does not work - that why gmail have green/red alert on income email/
- tofukid 5y agoYes, SMTP is insecure. Protonmail emails are end-to-end encrypted at rest. So server admins or whoever can’t just look at all your emails whenever they want, potentially years after they’ve been received. Contrast that with Fastmail, Gmail, or other providers. At any moment someone who works there can look at customer emails. I prefer my emails encrypted at rest.
