Is Proton Mail Down?


Getting this error for a while now but their status page (https://status.proton.me/) doesn't show any issue so far:

"Something went wrong We couldn't load this page. Please refresh the page or check your internet connection. Error: Servers are unreachable. Please try again in a few minutes"

Has been down on Android for several hours.

To anyone from Proton: It would, perhaps, be a good idea to implement a notice in the app version, giving some form of clue when this happens. It's easy to hit send and carry on, and not realize there's an issue.

Update on the status page as of 16h10 CET:

"Technical difficulties Investigating - We are currently experiencing intermittent network issues affecting some of our users. We are working to fully restore services as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience. Jan 09, 2025 - 16:10 CET"

This seems to impact VPN, Calendar, etc.

They are getting a lot of 'feedback' on X :)

(and I imagine all other social media)

Yes, it appears down using bridge, webapp and mobile

👤 blomback
I’m having troubles as well using the iOS app(s)

Guys just a reminder - best to get your own domain and use that for your email rather than using proton.com/gmail.com/outlook.com etc

That way worst case you can switch it to another email provider/self-host.
