Protonmail For Mac



Protonmail

With our VPN for Mac application, it is now extremely simple to switch countries, create custom profiles, connect to the Tor network, and route your traffic through our Secure Core servers. Not to mention all the essential perks of ProtonVPN, like hiding your IP address, defending against cyber attacks, and unblocking censored content.

ProtonApps is a resource from Proton Technologies AG (the team behind ProtonMail and ProtonVPN) with easily sharable links to our apps. Our mission started in 2014 and since then we've helped millions of people world-wide better secure their online data.

Restart your Mac and try to log in to the application again. Check if you can reach our website or the ProtonMail website. Check if you can log in to ProtonVPN on other devices. Go to System preferences Network and disable then reenable your WiFi / unplug your Ethernet cable from your Mac and plug it. Tutanota is a free and open source web-mail client that focuses on privacy and security.

We are particularly excited about our macOS app because so many members of our community have requested it. Our mission is to make cyber security and privacy easy and accessible, and this launch marks a major milestone. Given that more and more people are now using Mac devices, the demand for macOS security tools is no surprise. In recent months, we have worked closely with over ten thousand beta testers from the ProtonVPN community to fix bugs and develop an app that is easy to use and also looks great.

The initial feedback has been very positive and we’re excited to finally share with the rest of you our free MacOS VPN application.

Building a trustworthy free VPN service

As part of our mission to make online privacy accessible to everyone, ProtonVPN comes with a free version that anyone can use. Unlike other VPNs which claim to be “free”, ProtonVPN is actually free. There are no bandwidth limits, no ads, no logs, and unlike other “free” VPNs, we do not secretly sell your browsing data. If you would like to get access to advanced features and to support the project, you can upgrade to the paid version.

We built ProtonVPN to fill major shortcomings among the popular VPNs, some of which secretly contain malware or do not adequately protect users. ProtonVPN was developed by the same team of scientists who met at CERN and MIT and created ProtonMail, the world’s largest encrypted email service. Today, ProtonMail and ProtonVPN are used by millions of journalists, activists, businesses, and ordinary citizens around the world. With the launch of ProtonVPN for macOS, we’re bringing online security to even more people.

VPN for Mac features

Our new macOS app provides a highly secure (yet easy-to-use) alternative to OpenVPN applications like Tunnelblick. If you have used our apps for Android or Windows, you will recognize many of the features in our macOS VPN client.

  • Easy to use. Upon launching the macOS VPN app, users can instantly connect to the fastest server with our Quick Connect feature.
  • Modern IKEv2 protocol for higher performance. Enjoy a faster and more stable connection. IKEv2 offers much higher performance than OpenVPN, making ProtonVPN one of the fastest macOS VPNs (speeds can exceed 300 Mbps under the right conditions).
  • Easily connect to any country with a single click. Choose from a list of available servers from around the world, or connect with a single click on the map.
  • Choose from Secure Core servers, Tor servers, and P2P servers. The macOS app makes it easy for users with paid plans to take advantage of all our additional security, privacy, and file sharing features.
  • Create and save custom connection profiles. When you find a server you like, you can easily create a custom profile for that connection.
Mac
  • VPN Kill Switch. With the Kill Switch security feature enabled, ProtonVPN will cut your Internet connection if your connection to the VPN drops, preventing data from leaking when the VPN is not connected.

The macOS VPN app has already been through multiple rounds of testing, but we are constantly improving ProtonVPN and we welcome your feedback. If you have any suggestions or need support, you can reach out to us here.

Thank you again for your support, which is essential for keeping ProtonVPN freely accessible. Your support also allows us to develop new products and features, like our upcoming iOS app! We look forward to continuing to protect your online privacy.

ProtonMail Bridge

The ProtonMail Bridge is an application that runs on your computer in the background and seamlessly encrypts and decrypts your mail as it enters and leaves your computer. It allows for full integration of your ProtonMail account with any program that supports IMAP and SMTP such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and Apple Mail.

Before you configure Thunderbird to use ProtonMail, you must first download and install the Bridge on your computer.

Back to Bridge Overview Mac

Thunderbird

Configuring the Bridge to work with Thunderbird can be done in a few steps, outlined below:

This guide is optimized for desktop devices. Images and guide controls may not load properly on smaller screens.


Configuration Guide

Navigation
  1. 1. Account Settings
  2. 2. Add Mail Account
  3. 3. Credentials
  4. 4. Custom Domains
  5. 5. IMAP Exception
  6. 6. Fetching
  7. 7. Account Settings
  8. 8. Copies & Folders
  9. 9. Junk Settings
  10. 10. First Message
  11. 11. SMTP Exception
  12. 12. Addresses 1
  13. 13. Addresses 2
  14. 14. Addresses 3
  15. 15. Addresses 4
  16. 16. Success!
To configure the bridge with Thunderbird, first open the application and navigate to Tools -> Account Settings.
In the drop-down menu in the bottom left corner select Add Mail Account
Enter your name as well as the email address and bridge password from your bridge account settings screen. The rest of the configuration (security settings, ports, etc.) should be automatically filled in. Then, press Done.
Note: The password you must use is automatically generated from the bridge. Do not use your Login or Mailbox password.
The password generated by the Bridge app can be found by by clicking on Mailbox configuration under your account username.
Custom domain email addresses can be added to the bridge as well, but need extra configuration to work.
When you enter credentials for a custom domain, Thunderbird will give you an warning: Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account.. This is normal and expected.
Enter your settings manually as shown above and click Done.
You will be asked to confirm a security exception for port 1143 on 127.0.0.1. This is your localhost, which means that the certificate that we provide must be self-signed and therefore not trusted by default in Thunderbird.
Your newly added account will fetch your emails within 5 minutes. You can send emails without any delay. You can now proceed with configuring your Account settings on the next slide.
Mac
Thunderbird requires configuring your draft settings manually. Click the Tools menu (top of the screen) and select 'Account Settings'.
Choose the 'Copies & Folders' menu on the left and scroll down to the 'Drafts and Templates' section. Make sure that drafts are kept on the Local Folders. (Some Thunderbird setups won't be called Local Folders, but whatever your default account name is).
Note: Drafts are saved on your local device only. If you create a draft in Thunderbird on your laptop it will only be saved and accessible on that device.
If you would like to disable your client spam filters and rely soley on your ProtonMail spam filters make sure nothing is checked for Junk Settings.
However, keeping your client’s spam filters enabled will offer the advantage of additional spam filtering that is able to utilize the text of all of your messages and will add detected spam senders to your ProtonMail blacklist.
When you send your first message, you may see a Send Message Error. Press OK. This means that you will need to confirm a security exception for port 1025, used for the SMTP server.
You will be asked to confirm a security exception for port 1025 on 127.0.0.1. This is your localhost, which means that the certificate that we provide must be self-signed and therefore not trusted by default in Thunderbird.
Note: In separate addresses mode every IMAP account that you set up with the Bridge is address-specific, and will only be able to send/receive emails from the address it is set up with. You can add any number of addresses to Thunderbird but wait for one address to download before adding another.
If you are in combined address mode, you will have to add your non-primary addresses to Thunderbird if you would like to send with them.
To add an Address, right-click on the Account name in the sidebar and choose Settings.

Success! Thunderbird is now ready to use the Bridge!
