It's good to see Firefox on top of this list.
Is Protonmail usually accessed through web clients? I only use native iOS client and MacOS Mail with the Bridge app. Somehow I would expect Protonmail users to not use the web client so much, maybe I am wrong.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 4y agoWell... Protonmail happens to be the only e-mail provider that cannot fully be used as intended using just NMAP, because the core feature is its proprietary encryption and related features. So I would guess it's probably a singular outlier in having more web client users, rather than less.
- noisem4ker 4y agoNitpick: I think you meant IMAP (a standard email client protocol) instead of NMAP (a port scanning program).
- tlavoie 4y agoI dunno, there are some pretty neat NSE scripts.
- tremon 4y agoPartly true: you can install a local IMAP gateway (Proton Mail Bridge) to access your inbox from normal MUAs. FAFAIK it supports all regular IMAP operations.

- zinekeller 4y agoSome people use ProtonMail because it's precisely not Google, and most who are using it as Gmail replacement will still use it in-browser (as opposed to using it in Thunderbird or something else).
- Bayart 4y agoI use the web client at work because I'd rather not go through the involved process of installing something.
- gherkinnn 4y agoWeb client on desktop, native app on my phone. It's the easiest. I use Protonmail because it's not Google and pleasant enough to use.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4y agosame here, web client on desktop, app on phone.
- fzfaa 4y agoYou can only use a desktop app if you pay for protonmail. I suppose almost all protonmail users are free users and therefore they can only use the website.
- wsername_with_w 4y agoI pay for Protonmail and use the web client on desktop. I hope that many other are paying users too, because there are no ads. And without paying clients, how can a service like Protonmail survive?
- patall 4y agoWhile I am using it, the android client sometimes has problems refreshing for me. So if I was waiting for something urgent, I would probably use the web client.
- pwpw 4y agoTry disabling alternative routing in the settings. Solved all refreshing problems for me.
