I have heard people having issues with archiving emails using protonmail. Curious to hear of people’s email provider and why?

    Used to use proton but switched to mullvad vpn and tutanota (email+calendar) for better linux and android support. Protons linux vpn client is literally unusable for me (I don’t use networkmanager, and it only supports that) and they don’t support ipv6 while mullvad worked instantly for me and supports ipv6, and proton doesn’t have a linux email client, and their email app isn’t on fdroid and depends on google play services. Tutanota has a good linux client, is on fdroid, and doesn’t depend on google

      I don’t work for Proton, but I don’t think you looked for the required info: you can set up OpenVPN or wireguard without using NetworkManager or the ProtonVPN application:

      https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-openvpn/

      https://protonvpn.com/support/wireguard-manual-linux/

      But all other criticisms stand. I’m using Protonmail at the moment and I hate that they don’t have native integration of contacts/calendar for Android. I think I’ll move out next year, when my subscription expires.

        You technically can, but when it’s all that work and research vs open app, sign in, hit connect, and you’re done, I don’t regret switching

        Also, from more of a branding side, all those things imply to me that proton doesn’t value the same things I do or at least their priorities are different from mine. So I’d rather take my business to other platforms that do care about and cater to my use cases 🤷
