Switch from Proton Mail to iCloud Mail

Set up forwarding on a paid planBefore

Forwarding needs Proton Mail Plus, Proton Unlimited or another paid Proton Mail plan. In settings, select Forward and auto-reply, then Add forwarding rule. The recipient must confirm before forwarding starts.

Know forwarding outside Proton ends end-to-end encryptionDuring

If you forward to a non-Proton address, end-to-end encryption is turned off for all email to and from that forwarding address.

Back up your mail with the Export ToolBefore

The Proton Mail Export Tool is available to everyone. It saves all your emails and their metadata as EML and JSON files. Large inboxes can take a few hours.

Know your address can't be reused after deletionAfter

After you delete your Proton account, no one can use your username again, including you. A deleted account can't be recovered.

Import contacts from a vCardDuring

At icloud.com/contacts, select the Add button, choose Import Contact, then select a vCard. Imported contacts are added to the All Contacts list.

Import old mail to a custom domain addressDuring

If you use your own domain with iCloud Mail, you can import existing emails from your previous provider on iCloud.com. This isn't available for all providers, and you need enough iCloud storage.

Move other emails by hand with MailDuring

You can also move emails into iCloud Mail yourself using the Mail app on iPhone, iPad or Mac.
