For those of you who have been using Proton Mail for a year or longer, how reliable have you found it? Have you encountered any instances where websites didn't accept or didn't deliver to you Proton email address? Have you ever had trouble accessing Proton Mail while travelling?

I'm looking to try some of the Proton services soon, so I'd appreciate some honest experience from real users. Thanks!

Yep, price is also my concern. It sucks that I have to have the paid version to have their "bridge" access.

[–] Nelizea 9 points 1 year ago

The bridge adds quite some load to the API, thus more ressources are needed for that feature. This is the reason that this feature is reserved for paid customers. Remember, paid customers are the only reason why a) Proton can keep existing and b) keep offering free accounts for everyone, with some limitations in additional features. There's no other source of income.
