[Alexandra Sand]

Please be aware, that TODAY there are "final notice" to renew a Protonmail accounts that are fake! They are in Junk folder and demanding to click a link to verify and asking Date of Birth, ID numbers and other personal information.

THIS IS FISHING EMAILS! FAKE
PROTON DOES NOT ASK FOR THIS INFORMATION!!!!!
RENEW ONLY ON MAIN PROTON WEB-PAGE OR ON THE BANNER THAT POPS UP WHEN YOU LOG-IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT!

IB - It's an end-to-end encrypted email service. Many use it for their hobby emails. This is from Wikipedia

"Proton Mail (also written as ProtonMail) is an end-to-end encrypted email service founded in 2013 in Geneva, Switzerland.[5] It uses client-side encryption to protect email content and user data before they are sent to Proton Mail servers, unlike other common email providers such as Gmail and Outlook.com.[6] The service can be accessed through a webmail client, the Tor network, or dedicated iOS and Android apps.[7]"

I believe there is still a free version that's limited after awhile by storage capacity. It works just fine if you keep deleting old emails, those with attachments, etc. You can pay an annual fee and get a lot more storage capacity, etc.

They also offer a good VPN and other services.
