This kind of openness and collaboration benefits everyone in the email ecosystem. We’d love to see more email clients follow Proton Mail’s lead in sharing accurate, transparent data with the community.

Proton Mail rise up the accessibility rankings | Email Markup Consortium
We’ve updated our 2025 Accessibility Report after Proton Mail updated its data on “Can I Email?”. It’s a reminder of how transparency and collaboration can push the email industry forward.

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 was outdated, and took the initiative to update it themselves.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.

This is grotesque. I lost any love for Vercel & Next years ago, but seeing him cozy up with genocide in Gaza — is beyond words. I feel for the employees.
The horrifying truth: businesses that worked with the Nazis didn’t fall to capitalism. It’s down to us, we have to take our business elsewhere.

The RTL experience on many apps just has untested-still-in-dev feel. Sometimes it is indeed tricky (e.g. media controls), but basic things are often overlooked.

Email preview text has never had a proper spec, but it could.
Google's Gmail and Yahoo Mail already support Schema structured data. Adding support for a standardized metadata-based preview text isn't a technical leap; it's the natural next step.

Our latest blog post explores how preview text could be standardized using a metadata-based solution, which aligns with how Google's Gmail and Yahoo Mail already support Schema structured data in emails today.

Products with better accessibility are built when accessibility is considered early in the process, not as an afterthought. The same principle should apply to email clients.
If you’re working on Gmail, or any major email client: help us make this better.

It's hard to reconcile the excellence of Google Chrome with the limited accessibility support in Gmail. We know Google has the talent and track record; so why not bring that same energy to email?
Respecting user preferences is a basic accessibility principle, but Google's Gmail makes it nearly impossible for developers to do this.
Email clients should enable developers to query the user's system or browser-level settings, like reduced motion or color scheme.

Government communications are often required by law to be accessible.
Yet 100% of the emails we tested failed basic automated accessibility tests.

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.

We've just put our the latest Email Accessibility Report.
There has been some improvement from previous years, but the results are still pretty dire.
So today on #GAAD please take a moment to look at fixing at least one thing in your emails.

Today is GAAD, a good opportunity to reflect on the state of accessibility in the email ecosystem (email clients, ESPs, build tools, developers).
Looking at real-world data, the sad truth is the whole ecosystem is failing the recpients - the most important party of the ecosystem.

Dealing with accessibility issues in web dev can feel like "easy mode" in comparison to email dev where there is zero standards when it comes to HTML messages.
