The service uses several levels of security. The only time a message isn't encrypted is when it lands in a recipient's inbox. ProtonMail boasts that it keeps your email messages "encrypted at all times." It does a good job of that. So, what can we do to keep out emails private? Turn to secure, open source email services like the two I cover in this article. However, that's not an option for those of us without those skills and that knowledge. If you have a degree of technical knowledge and skill, you can set up your own email server that allows you to do that.
To ensure that your email stays private, you need to secure it. Not hackers, not government agencies, and definitely not nosy siblings or friends. Besides you and the recipient, no one else should be reading that message. What you send via email is your business and yours alone. That said, numerous hacks and revelations about government surveillance have made it clear that email is also one of the most vulnerable of those conduits.
