Proton Mail is free to use if you have just one email address, but storage is limited to just 500 MB, which will fill up fast if you are receiving messages with large attachments. You can upgrade to a Plus subscription for $4 per month to get 15 GB of storage—the same amount available to most Google users—but if you don't want to pay anything, you can at least double your limit to 1 GB by completing Proton's onboarding process within 18 days of signing up. Look for a Get more storage option on the left sidebar of your mailbox, and click an action to complete the task. Once you've finished the checklist, you'll unlock an additional 500 MB of storage on your account.
Reserve an email address for your child in their name
If you're moving to Proton Mail from a different email provider or simply want all of your messages in one inbox, you can use Proton's Easy Switch feature to connect with and import from Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook, and any other provider that allows IMAP access. Once Easy Switch is on, you'll be able to receive and send messages from your external address within Proton, and any mail sent to another Proton user from that address will be end-to-end encrypted. You'll retain copies of messages in your external inbox, so you don't need to make the full transition immediately. Easy Switch can also migrate your contacts and calendars. Go to Settings > Import via Easy Switch, choose your email service, and follow the prompts.
Customize the Undo Send timer to recall emails
Messages and composing, scroll down to the Composing section, and choose your desired time from the Undo send dropdown.
Add a password to encrypt emails to non-Proton users
Messages between Proton users are automatically encrypted end to end, but if your recipient doesn't use Proton Mail, you can set up a password for your emails to keep them private. Replies to password-protected emails are also encrypted (though your reply to that reply will require you to re-enable encryption). When you compose your message, click the padlock icon in the bottom toolbar and enter a password and password hint. You can set an expiration date as well. Note that you'll need to share the password with the recipient separately.
Strip metadata to protect your privacy with sent images
When you take a photo, image metadata may reveal locations, times and dates, and other information that can be used to track you if it falls into the wrong hands. Proton Mail can strip that out for sent images, so you can share photos via email without giving any unnecessary data away. When you attach an image to an email draft, choose Remove metadata when prompted.
Activate your short domain to get a shorter, simpler address
By default, Proton Mail addresses end in @proton.me (unless you connect your own domain). But users on paid plans have the option to add a short domain, which is simply [username]@pm.me. You can send messages from either, and both route to your inbox. The shorter address is easier to remember and share, such as when you're giving our your email over the phone. To enable it, go to Settings > Identity and addresses. You must be a paid subscriber to activate a short domain address—if you downgrade to the free plan, you will still be able to receive (but not send) messages sent to your @pm.me address.
