Proton AG Services is currently experiencing some issues
- fp64 2mo agoAnd interesting feeling not being able to check your email on a paid service. I haven't had that in decades.
- root-parent 2mo agoHave you used Azure?
- fp64 2mo agoNo? I try to pick reliable services.
- cptskippy 2mo agoHave you found any?
- reconnecting 2mo agoFastmail.com (not affiliated)
- weezing 2mo agoFastmail had interruptions few times and some lasted few hours. There is no such thing about 100% uptime of any service.
- reconnecting 2mo agoCould you provide more details about this issue? Yesterday I received emails all day long and didn't notice any problem, and similarly there was no issue according to their status page yesterday (1). We use FastMail for a business that is sensitive to email delivery time — in other words, if for some reason we receive emails with a delay, this could be a problem. Over the past 5 years or so, we've had only one incident when emails weren't delivered on time. 1. https://fastmailstatus.com/en-gb https://fastmailstatus.com/en-gb
- weezing 2mo agoCheck end of May exactly on status site you have linked. 9 hours of outbound email delivery issues in total and 2 hours of interrupted access to services so yeah, not very cool for your delivery time sensitive business. 100% uptime doesn't exist and Fastmail isn't any better than Proton or Tuta.

- cryo32 2mo agoThis is a hilariously apt response.
- aarondong 2mo agoliterally signed up for proton mail, their yearly paid plan, around half an hour ago. I assumed an email service was supposed to be stable first, given how important it is. I was going to use proton mail as my contact email with my domain registrar. This outage may change my mind. REFUND?
- heyheyhouhou 2mo agoI've been using Proton for few years already and I did not have a single issue

- InsideOutSanta 2mo agoAll services have outages. The difference is that when Outlook goes out (https://uptime.qodex.ai/outlook/incidents https://uptime.qodex.ai/outlook/incidents), it's a happy occasion because nobody can work and we all take an hour off, but when something like Proton goes offline, we're the only ones who can't access our important stuff. Anyway, point is, Proton is generally very reliable, but shit happens.
- aarondong 2mo agoYeah, just the timing couldn't feel worse in my case. Right after doing some security shuffling and signing up. recency bias
- embedding-shape 2mo ago> All services have outages. I've found this to be true too, that's why I've moved most of my personal email to my own email servers, so at least I can decide when those outages happen, as they tend to mostly happen when you do some changes, not just randomly by themselves. At once you've setup monitoring and recovery for the usual suspects (disks, network, etc).
- RetroTechie 2mo agoCreated an account there some months ago, logged in & checked my email a # of times since then. Plz someone tell me that didn't contribute to this outage! Didn't intend to cause trouble for anyone.
- johnbarron 2mo agoDepends...how large were your attachments?
- butz 2mo agoSomeone probably pushed to prod on Friday.

- HackerThemAll 2mo agoI have lost faith in Proton forever when they started putting ragebait predatory ads on social media spreading deceit and FUD. It's easy to try to build popularity riding on the back of Google, but your lies won't make me become your customer ever.
