from the team:
Hi everyone,
We’re happy to announce that the new, rewritten Proton Mail Android app is now available to all Proton users on the Google Play store!
For everyone on de-Googled Android devices, you can find the APK file here.
We’ve improved performance and reliability, with up to a 5x reduction in crashes since we started rolling out the updated version. Since the first beta, we’ve added back key features:
🗒️ create and manage your contact group lists
🔑 send password-protected emails (i.e. protect your communication with non-Proton accounts)
💣 set an expiration date to your emails
🗓️ jump directly from your inbox to your Proton Calendar
🌗 switch between light and dark mode
🔒 protect the app with biometric lock
This development provides a solid foundation for delivering new features faster in the future.
We’re looking forward to your feedback, and we’re keeping an eye on our UserVoice to help us decide which features to prioritize next.
Best,
The Proton Team

Proton Mail used to be available on IzzyOnDroid’s F-Droid repository but I can’t find it there anymore.
Will it come back? or even better, will it come to the official F-Droid repository?

repos are nice, but there will always be a couple of stragglers. Might as well have a work around.
I know about Obtainium, thanks, but I prefer to avoid having several different sources for apps. Besides, F-Droid builds apps from source and checks for anti-features, so it’s a nice to have check that the app is not doing anything sketchy.
Omg thank you for recommending this! This is perfect.
