from the team:


Hi everyone,

To better streamline communication for organizations relying on Proton Mail, we’re adding a new feature: Groups.

Create a group for a department or team in your organization, and assign its own dedicated email address. It then works as a distribution list, allowing everyone to reach all group members, all protected by end-to-end encryption.

For example, a group address for your customer care or HR team allows all inquiries directed to them to be seen by the entire team, eliminating the need for a shared email account.

Groups can also include addresses outside of your organization, such as customers, contractors, and agencies. However, in order to retain end-to-end encryption, external collaborators would need to use Proton Mail, too.

Unlike contact groups, already available in Proton Mail, Group addresses are better suited for organizations:

⭕ they are centrally managed and automatically available across the entire organization

🗓️ they remain valid even as team members change

The feature is rolling out progressively to users on Proton Mail Professional, Proton Business, and Visionary plans.

Once available, you can get started by going to Settings > Organization > Groups on the web.

    Interesting feature but I’m a little disappointed that this is a feature for business accounts only. I have a Duo account; are there any features that would allow me to share certain emails with my wife? For example, it would be great if we could both receive the exact same emails related to our credit card statements. Or car loan. Or electric bill. Etc.

    Anyone have tips?

      Create a simplelogin alias that redirects to both your emails. I do this, and it has the added benefit of both being able to send email from that alias.

      You could setup a filter that forwards those emails to her or viceversa.
