Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still use Proton Mail for free?
Yes, Proton Mail offers a free tier with 1GB storage, 1 email address, and 150 messages per day. End-to-end encryption is included.
What do I lose when downgrading Proton Mail?
You lose custom domains, extra email aliases, extra storage, and priority support. Your main protonmail.com address stays.
Does Proton Mail include VPN?
Proton Unlimited ($9.99/month) includes Proton Mail, VPN, Calendar, Drive, and Pass. Individual services are cheaper.
Is Proton Mail really more secure than Gmail?
Proton Mail uses end-to-end encryption, meaning even Proton cannot read your emails. Gmail encrypts in transit but Google can access content for ads.
Can I export my emails before cancelling?
Yes, use the Proton Mail Bridge with a desktop email client to export your emails, or use the Import-Export tool.
