Working to improve the accessibility, user experience, performance, consistency, and reliability of email markup
Proton Mail (@proton.me) noticed that some of their data on "Can I Email?" was outdated, and took the initiative to update it themselves. As a result, our 2025 Accessibility Report now reflects a much more accurate picture of Proton Mail’s strong accessibility support.

Accessibility in email is hard enough. When email clients block even the most basic accessibility features, they’re not limiting creativity; they’re limiting access.

Email clients should enable developers to query the user's system or browser-level settings, like reduced motion or color scheme.

Every government email message in our dataset failed to comply with accessibility requirements.

This creates significant barriers for users who rely on assistive technologies. Governments have a responsibility to ensure communications, including email, are accessible to as many people as possible.

It's that time of year again. To celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day we've released our annual email accessibility report.

Unfortunately less than 0.01% of emails passed all automated test, so this is a call to action to do better.

How should a web app allow third-party HTML to make use of the CSS prefers-color-scheme media feature?
