And this might actually get me to use Proton. I'm currently with Tuta, and the experience there is... just okay. I went with them because they claim to have even less access to my stuff vs Proton, and Proton being private didn't get me to trust them enough to use them instead (I've used them in the past though). But this structural change might convince me that they're trustworthy enough to switch to.
We'll see how it turns out. I'm still giving Tuta a shot because I like the idea of not bundling everything together, but once I get my NextCloud setup working, I'll decide how much of Proton I'll actually need, compare prices, etc.
How is it possible to have less data on your than Proton? I'm not aware of anything Proton has which isn't fundamentally required.
Proton stores email subject lines unencrypted to facilitate search, Tuta does search client-side so everything can be completely encrypted. Both have access to unencrypted email when they receive it, so it's not a huge difference, but given the cost difference, I figured I'd give Tuta a try first.
i wonder how is the experience of searching between millions of emails client side
Not great. I have a couple hundred or so, and it's already a bit slow on my phone.
