Lifetime contributors also get a special gift from CERN where the idea for Proton Mail was born. However, due to the August holidays in Switzerland, these will be delayed by a few weeks so we don’t expect to be able to ship them out until September. Since we are combining the T-shirts in the same shipment, the T-shirts will ship at the same time.
Visionaries
For our visionary supporters you can expect a personal email from our core team with in a few weeks after the campaign ends to offer our thanks, and to invite you into our inner circle to discuss new features for Proton Mail.
We’re stunned to have hit our funding goals in just 3 days, and we’re excited for the future of Proton Mail. Even though we have now hit our funding goal, there’s actually a lot more that we want to build, including mobile apps, support for custom domains, and encrypted file storage. Additional contributions past our goal will go a long way towards helping us develop those features. Thank you for making it happen!
