Can confirm in the iOS app that messages from proton official have a special badge

Its possible some wires got crossed behind scenes, some database/software mixup.

Maybe email proton support if you're concerned? I've had some similar mixup happen with banking and they got it all sorted after I complained (I was getting emails intended for someone else).

This looks like they’re using the iOS mail client

Are you using the iOS mail client with a proton email account?

It could also be some IDN tricks. Most browsers translate mixed scripts into punycode nowadays, but it can be easy to get tricked. Just go to their official site if you're unsure.

For example: https://xn--prtn-1ndb.me/ looks like a normal link... but the O's have been replaced with the Greek letter omicron.

Interesting. I am blind and therefore use the TalkBack screen reader and it does not say the O's because they are not in English. It reads that as PRTN.

the address there can be faked, maybe your email client did not warn about it. if you can check the mail's headers (maybe easier on desktop), look at all the addtesses you see in there and if thry seem suspicious.

this is really insightful, thanks!

OP stated this was sent to their Gmail, so wouldn't have the tag.

Wondering if someone somehow linked your Gmail (email you received this on) to their proton account. I was looking for an email you could forward this to to report it to proton but could not find one.

As always, if an email looks suspect, don't click anything. Just wish there was a way to report it.

Yes this is the mail app in ios

Oh, really? This one didn’t have any badge at all. I’m confused.

To clarify, they have a badge in the proton client you’re in the ios mail app. Everything I can tell from this email makes it seem legit, this may be a false positive on you’re end ‘mfraid.

Ah okay, yes the official one does. Yes, I think its a false positive… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i linked up my Gmail anf proton. so my gmail stuff gets forwarded to proton with a specific tag
