In a single sentence, ProtonMail Bridge is an application that allows you to use your ProtonMail encrypted email account with your favorite desktop email client such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or Outlook, while simultaneously retaining the zero-access encryption and end-to-end encryption that ProtonMail provides. Today, we are finally ready to present ProtonMail Bridge. Desktop systems encompass multiple operating systems with dozens of popular email clients with their own adherents, and virtually none of them natively speak PGP, the email encryption standard upon which ProtonMail is built.Īround two years ago, we created a small task force to tackle this challenge. However, one of our goals has always been to bring easy-to-use encrypted email to desktop.
In the years since, we have made many great strides towards creating usable encrypted email, first with ProtonMail’s webmail interface and then with our award-winning iOS and Android secure email apps. Since our early days working from the CERN cafeteria, we have been working tirelessly to address this specific problem. ProtonMail is officially launching ProtonMail Bridge, which brings easy-to-use email encryption to desktop email clients.Įver since the day that we first got the idea to create ProtonMail, one of the most enduring challenges has been how to do email security right while simultaneously making encrypted email easy enough to use for normal people.
