    Proton is starting to loose focus in my opinion. I’ve been a costumer for 5 years only using email and I moved this year to fastmail and I couldn’t be happier. Unlimited emails alias, good apps, ability to use thunderbird without a self hosted bridge.

    The promise of a encrypted email does not work if your contacts are not on proton too (for me was 100% of my contacts).

    If you are really focused on privacy you would choose nextcloud for cloud for example and keypass or Bitwarden for password managers.

    I would like them to focus on email client features and stop this side hustles.

      Proton’s whole reason to exist is to provide privacy, not email client features.

      I hear what you’re saying but Nextcloud is definitely not a viable option for reliable backups. Wayyyy too buggy to trust

        Certainly way too buggy if you’re selfhosting. At least that was my experience. And if you’re not, the privacy component really goes away.
