It's good to see Firefox on top of this list.

Is Protonmail usually accessed through web clients? I only use native iOS client and MacOS Mail with the Bridge app. Somehow I would expect Protonmail users to not use the web client so much, maybe I am wrong.

Web client on desktop, native app on my phone. It's the easiest. I use Protonmail because it's not Google and pleasant enough to use.

same here, web client on desktop, app on phone.

Some people use ProtonMail because it's precisely not Google, and most who are using it as Gmail replacement will still use it in-browser (as opposed to using it in Thunderbird or something else).

I use the web client at work because I'd rather not go through the involved process of installing something.

[IfOnlyYouKnew]

Well... Protonmail happens to be the only e-mail provider that cannot fully be used as intended using just NMAP, because the core feature is its proprietary encryption and related features. So I would guess it's probably a singular outlier in having more web client users, rather than less.

[noisem4ker]

Nitpick: I think you meant IMAP (a standard email client protocol) instead of NMAP (a port scanning program).

[tlavoie]

I dunno, there are some pretty neat NSE scripts.

[tremon]

Partly true: you can install a local IMAP gateway (Proton Mail Bridge) to access your inbox from normal MUAs. FAFAIK it supports all regular IMAP operations.

While I am using it, the android client sometimes has problems refreshing for me. So if I was waiting for something urgent, I would probably use the web client.

Try disabling alternative routing in the settings. Solved all refreshing problems for me.

You can only use a desktop app if you pay for protonmail. I suppose almost all protonmail users are free users and therefore they can only use the website.

[wsername_with_w]

I pay for Protonmail and use the web client on desktop.

I hope that many other are paying users too, because there are no ads. And without paying clients, how can a service like Protonmail survive?
