Now, it seems, there's a reasonably simple way to improve your email privacy without having to sacrifice the convenience of Gmail (or switching email providers altogether). On Thursday, Proton announced that its email service, appropriately named Proton Mail, now supports Gmail. For the first time, you can link your Gmail account to Proton Mail, and use it to send and receive messages from your Google address, rather than your Proton one.
According to Proton, by choosing to read your Gmail inbox in Proton Mail, you deprive Google of data it typically uses to build a profile of your activity. Sure, you're still using Gmail, but Google can't see which emails you open, how long you read them, or how you use its services. That said, you won't have your entire Gmail history at the ready here. The company says that when you connect your Gmail account, "recent" conversations will appear, but all new emails will arrive in your mailbox going forward.
Gmail in Proton Mail can be end-to-end encrypted
You won't notice the benefits of E2EE if you're the only one using Proton. For example, if you send a Gmail user a message from your Gmail address in Proton, the message won't be encrypted end-to-end. However, if both participants are using Proton to access Gmail, the emails will be E2EE. That's a bit of a bummer, since odds are slim that many of your contacts are using Gmail within Proton. That said, it does encourage privacy-minded Google users to add Gmail to Proton Mail, which is an obvious win for Proton.
How to set up Gmail in Proton Mail
Proton says this feature is rolling out gradually, so you might not see it right away. When you do, however, the company says setup is easy. First, open Proton Mail, then head to Settings and choose "Import via Easy Switch." Here, connect your Gmail account, and you're set.
