doesn't proton mail encrypt by default ? But I guess they are trying to send signed email outside the protonmail environment.

I guess this is a kind of "lite" vendor lockin if you want encrypted email for the masses.



You can learn more about how Proton Mail encryption works here: https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-encryption-explained. There is a also a functionality that allows you to send password-protected emails to non-Proton Mail recipients: https://proton.me/support/open-password-protected-emails.


They only encrypt mail by default when it stays within Proton’s domain.
