Protonmail Notifications have started working again on latest build undergoing test. MicroG ver is the same 0.2.8.17785 !!! GCM registration is working so that may be the reason. Why it has started working needs to be debugged.
Good news. Since I am on unofficial Pi/e/, I have to see if I can start building my own update as soon as the update on GCM is released.
If I’m not mistaken, protonmail app still requires Google Play Services (microG).
On the other hand the app from tutanota works without microG.
ProtonMail said in a blog paper they would also have their own push notification system. But I think it was in September and I thought it would be faster…
I received this email from Protonmail
So there is hope we will see it soon on FDroid
All Proton apps are now open source
Trust and transparency are core values of Proton. One way to demonstrate our software lives up to the security and privacy promises we make is to release our code to the public.
We’re happy to announce that all ProtonMail and ProtonVPN apps are now open source, following the recent publication of the ProtonMail Android and Bridge apps’ code. This means that any independent expert can analyze our code, giving you peace of mind that our service is secure.*
I can confirm ProtonMail is working now. I updated the build and I am getting notifications as expected. Thanks for everyone’s participation.

I’m not getting notifications from Proton mail.
Fairphone 3
/e/ OS 11
Proton app v. 1.13.13.733
installed from Apps
The Aurora store shows “1.13.13.733 >> 1.13.16.737” but pressing Update has no effect. Also, tried deinstalling and then installing from Aurora – it showed the newer version in the store, but pressing Install has no effect.
I’d be so grateful if anyone can help!
Can you try this solution given in this same thread
That worked! Thanks a ton.
(I’m sorry, there’s still so much that I don’t understand. I saw the above, but I don’t know what GCM is or why I need it, and the post went on to say they still didn’t have notifications, so it didn’t occur to me to try this.)
PS: I was just getting ready to post my next problem – my phone not finding my headphones over Bluetooth, which I spent an hour yesterday trying to get working – but then I got the brilliant idea to test it one more time just now, and that problem has disappeared. Could that have been related to this GCM thing too?
In any case, thanks again a ton!
PS: Bluetooth has stopped working. Looks like I can’t edit the above post anymore to take that part out, unfortunately.
Hi all,
on my pretty old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 I installed /e/ OS following the intructions found here.
I tried all the setting modifications suggested above, but still I can’t get any notification from the ProtonMail app.
- /e/ system version: e-0.9-n-20200618-1939-UNOFFICIAL-espresso3g
- Android Version is 7.1.2.
- ProtonMail app v1.13.22(748) (installed twice to test if it could help)
I receive the notifications from other apps like Signal, Threema and so on.
Does anyone of you have any suggestion on what to do to make the notifications working?
Thanks in advance for your help!
