Thank you, I definitely looked at this sideways for a second until I realized what they meant and you confirmed my thoughts. Yeah I'm happy that my main email is now Proton, and I'm slowly moving accounts over.

I don't want to ruin your day, but Proton is not a safe service anymore, after its owner publicly expressed his love for Trump. So, I highly suggest you to try and move to another European service such as Posteo or Tuta.

I did see that, and it doesn't ruin my day because as of right now everything is encrypted without any backdoors to it, but yes I'm absolutely keeping an eye on it. When I saw that headline though I was pissed. Problem is I also don't know of any other good, safe options currently.

I've used Tutanota for a long time with no issues.

They have no real data plans for people with like 120+ GB of maildata ... None other than proton I found when I researched this. As a citizen that is with no business.
