This is amazing news. I've been thinking about switching to Proton for a while now. Think this may just be the drop that makes me do it.

Swapped to their mail from Google finally about a year ago, it was a pain in the ass, but have been slowly removing myself from the google ecosystem.

Exactly the same here. It's not perfect... it's slow, it doesn't work with your mobile mail client... but it's better than the supervillain levels of evil that Google is pushing out.

Mobile mail client? Why not use the Proton Mail app?

[–] asm_x86 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

because you can't add non-proton email accounts

Ah I guess I didn't think of that use case, it being the Proton app. I think I read somewhere it's possible with the Windows client, through their Bridge software. I haven't had the need to use the Proton client for other email accounts personally.
