That is their official email address. Did you make an Alias or something and you forgot?
I’m starting to think I’m wrong somehow... Maybe i made an account long ago and forgot? I really don’t think so tho.
Its possible some wires got crossed behind scenes, some database/software mixup.
Maybe email proton support if you're concerned? I've had some similar mixup happen with banking and they got it all sorted after I complained (I was getting emails intended for someone else).
Edit: either way, I think you should let them know in case its phishing or something broken on their end.
the address there can be faked, maybe your email client did not warn about it. if you can check the mail's headers (maybe easier on desktop), look at all the addtesses you see in there and if thry seem suspicious.
also check the link they sent. Don't open it, but copy it only.
