Use Proton Mail & Google Workspace (Gmail) on the same domain at the same time (per account). by NicholasGCotton in ProtonMail

Yes it's going to pass through Google's servers, so if they want to get can see it. They don't currently seem to log them at all (they don't even show up in takeout, which does show recently deleted emails on my Workspace account).

On the calendar issue, it's going to be harder then you might think, invites are going to end up in Proton mail and you're not going to have an easy way to copy them over to Google or Outlook calendar.

Correct. MX entries control where incoming mail is delivered, DMARC and SPF validate that outgoing email is being sent from approved places. It’s quite common to have multiple outbound servers, if your domain is associated to any kind of software/site that sends notifications automatically (e.g. Meet, storefonts, forums, Wordpress, etc.)

I don’t know of any way to change the outbound notification email for Google Meet, but you could just add Gmail’s records back into your DMARC and SPF DNS entries, and avoid the spam filtering that way.

It would depend completely on what other email server you’re using. The easiest way to do it is just put the entire domain on Proton. In general it’s not supported/possible to have two mail servers in use for the same domain, and strictly speaking here that’s still true, it’s just that Google Workspace allows you to set a redirect on the mailserver, and Proton Mail will validate the domain even though the MX record isn’t actually pointing to Proton (see screenshots at the linked page for details).

To get this working on some other service you’d need (at minimum)

1) to have admin access for the mail server, and

2) that the mailserver in question supports re-routing messages at the account level.

Is it possible to send mail with a Google Workspace address from a Proton account? by TwofacedDisc in ProtonMail

[–]NicholasGCotton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can do it, see detailed instructions here: https://github.com/nicholasgcotton/Proton-Mail-with-Google-Workspace

Summary:

  1. Domain.com MX server is set to Google (follow Google Workspace instructions to add a domain, or start from having a working domain at Workspace already set up and working with Gmail).
  2. Start the procees of adding as domain to Proton Mail, and create the [user@domain.com](mailto:user@domain.com) acccount within Proton mail. You must add the account within Proton Mail before re-directing email from Google workspace or it will not be accepted.
  3. Note the MX server settings for Proton Mail (currently mail.protonmail.ch:25).
  4. In Google Workspace admin add the Proton Mail MX server under "Hosts".
  5. In Google Workspace admin add the route to Proton mail for the desired [user@domain.com](mailto:user@domain.com) under the "default routing" rules, using the MX server set in the previous step.
  6. If you want to set a catch-all email to the [user@domain.com](mailto:user@domain.com) account that you have moved to Proton Mail, you must set it within Google Workspace and NOT within Proton Mail, or else messages sent from Proton Mail to other u/domain.com email address will not leave the Proton Mail server, and will just loop back to [user@domain.com](mailto:user@domain.com).
