How to Geek: “Proton now makes a whole suite of software geared towards privacy and security enthusiasts, following the strictest standards of encryption, but it all had its start back when the company launched Proton Mail. It was the company’s first product back in 2013, but there still hasn’t been a true desktop client. That’s now changing. Proton is releasing its first beta of a desktop client for Proton Mail, which you’ll be able to check out on Windows and macOS. The desktop version should have all of the same features Proton Mail currently has on your browser, and it also integrates Proton Calendar, so you can also have access to your (encrypted) schedule and events from the same app. Before now, Proton Mail on desktop was limited to the web app, or third-party email clients (like Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and Microsoft Outlook) connected to Proton Bridge as a local IMAP server.”
