Its not encrypted when 99% of your contacts aren't on Proton.
You can encrypt it for non-Proton users very easily.
oh? i have friends that use protonmail and i've asked them to do it. no one has succeeded yet
Yep, it just has you set a password, confirm it, and even set a hint if you want. Works on web or mobile.
you're talking about sending a link to a password protected message?
Yes, there's no other implementation I know of for provider-to-provider encrypted email. O365 is very similar. Recipients can then reply back too and the Proton user receives it directly.
pgp is true end-to-end
Ah yes, forgot about PGP. Haven't used it in a long time myself, but Proton automatically creates a PGP signature for you. You can just attach your public key that's already on your account and it'll encrypt your mail. It natively supports PGP/MIME.
you say it like it's simple, but i don't have any friends who have accomplished it
It was pretty easy when I tested it just a few min ago, yes. Maybe they step the missed was adding your public key to the contact entry for you. As soon as you do that "encrypt" is enabled by default for you.
Congrats, you just invented ProtonMail
