I'd like to pull mail from other accounts into Proton over IMAP or POP as they arrive.

Proton Mail has a number of articles on importing mail from other providers and for setting up forwarding to their service. This however is less than ideal; I have found all email forwarded from other accounts arrive as coming from myself, instead of the original sender. This is messy and confusing.

Does anyone know of a way to pull mail from other accounts into Proton Mail as or soon after it arrives, while retaining all the original sender information?

When forwarding from, let's say, Gmail, it shows the original sender, what service are you trying it with?

Oh! I didn't realise results varied between providers. I am using a small local provider https://clickhost.com.au/email-hosting I might contact them and see if they can help.

Thanks Alex!
