I am a long time customer, but there are things that keep me from much using ProtonMail. My major pain point is lack of semantic understanding of e-mail content / calendar integration. When I get an email with a hotel or airline reservation, in my world, I want an automatically generated calendar entry. I try to limit my use of tech and devices to about four hours a day, but I want that time to be hyper productive.
I like ProtonVPN, no complaints about that.
I like their web interface in general, but having a combined email and calendar app for both iOS and iPadOS, with email/calendar auto calendar entries would be fantastic.
- GuB-42 5y agoIsn't it impossible? I mean, to provide semantic understanding of content, they need to read content, and the value proposition of ProtonMail is that it is E2E encrypted, i.e. they can't read your mail.
- greenshackle2 5y agoCould it not be done entirely client-side?
- mark_l_watson 5y agoI think it could absolutely be done client side.
- tristan957 5y agoI don't need my email provider reading my emails. This is a feature.
- beermonster 5y agoAnd unless I've misunderstood Fastmail's service, on a cursory glance of the service they offer, isn't something they offer.
- protonmail 5y agoThanks for your feedback. Proton Calendar is now available for all users, and as part of our work on calendar integrations, there is already functionality to add calendar invites (.ics files) sent to your email into your calendar with one click. However, further work will need to be done to make this even better.
