Free education account (Plus Plan)
-> Free plus account for uni/post-secondary students
- Can be featured in github's student pack (https://education.github.com/pack)
- Account upgrade could simply expire at the end of educational term
- Custom domain options allow students to use their EDU domain email with proton mail's superior service
- Allows students to organize busy mail traffic without folder limitations
- Increase storage capacity allows for multiple word documents and Comp. Sci projects

The collegiates have frittered away freedom and now they want some semblance of it back for free? No. Like it or not, children, services actually COST something to run, else your data is it.
There are exceptions to every rule, but this is not the market that can benefit the Protonmail mission.

why students? They are maybe the most likely to find alternatives solutions and way. They have access to university LAN and services. What about political dissident or journalists in third world dictatorship for example? Shouldn't this people be privileged if it is about giving free "premium" ? Why not a shoemaker? What are we speaking about? Students form yales than can pay 100 000 dollars a year to study? "Student" doesn't mean anything in modern world

no f***** way, they also can pay for it and I realy dont see why a student should be able to sent "1000 emails a day"...
dont they have to study?

No it wouldn't, as a university student doesn't have access to change the domain's MX settings.

There should be "Education" plan for students with includes:
- 2 GB Storage
- 1 or 2 Custom domain
- 5 Adresses (but only for custom domains)
- Unlimited sending (or 1000 Messages per day)
- 40 Folders / 60 Labels
- Custom Filters
- Catch-all email
- VPN: all countries, 2-4 devices, high or highest speed and MAYBE plus servers and secure core -

Just pay for it. They also have costs when they let students in.

Pay for it. It's not entirely bank breaking! Privacy comes at a cost.

This is a great suggestion. Creating a Student plan or let them join ProtonMail Plus for free while being a student could be a good way of getting long term supporters.

Ya I'm also a student and I would like to subscribe if it comes below 1000 Rupees (INR). But as of now it is too costly aroung 3500 rupees. Please reduce the subscription price so that more user can enjoy premium features and your donations also goes up. I thing this type of student discount strategy will definately improve the user experience.

I love using protonmail and would totally pay for the additional features, but as a student it's a little tough to justify.
Would there be a chance of student discounts?
