Given Proton Mail’s fashiness coming out of the woodwork, lots of folks are looking at switching away — but they have a reasonable concern: Aren’t Proton Mail’s privacy features special, different from a normal mail provider?
AFAICT, the answer is yes in •theory•, but you aren’t giving up that much in •practice•.
Short surfacing notes I put in a reply — and likely containing inaccurations about Proton Mail, so please correct me if you have better info!
