- kdmccormick 3y agoEh, ProtonMail's new view is very JS heavy and pretty slow to load, with no simple HTML fallback AFAIK.
- ionwake 3y agoProtonMail doesn’t allow forwarding unless you pay tho
- protonmail 3y agoHi! Note that this is not true - all Proton users can use our EasySwitch to set up email forwarding from Gmail to Proton Mail: https://proton.me/easyswitch https://proton.me/easyswitch. When it comes to forwarding from other email providers, here's how you can do it: https://proton.me/support/mail-forwardingpop3 https://proton.me/support/mail-forwardingpop3. This functionality is also available to all Proton users, free or paying.
- ionwake 3y agoHi ProtonMail I meant forward from ProtonMail to other email addresses. Please correct me if I’m wrong, sorry I wasn’t clear you provide a great service and I am thankful.
- GuB-42 3y agoI would even say that ProtonMail would be impossible without JS. The big idea with ProtonMail is end-to-end encryption, so that Proton can't read your email. Among the things such a guarantee makes impossible is a simple HTML view, because it would require the Proton-controlled server to decrypt your email before generating the HTML page. It also makes traditional protocols like SMTP, POP and IMAP unusable. For that Proton provides a local gateway so that you can use your favorite email client, but Proton servers can't offer such a feature without breaking E2EE.
- guraf 3y agoProton literally never worked without JavaScript, so I'm not sure why you're getting on your high horse here...
