Anyone using ProtonMail regularly? I created an account but haven’t used it much.

How are your experiences? Any iOS users who can comment on their experience with proton mail and the default mail client?

I don’t went to switch to something that won’t be around in a decade or so.

While I appreciate advances in cryptography, I would rather protonmail work on things like getting their bridge returning properly formatted IMAP responses[1] so we can use whatever clients we want with it.

The mobile experience is fine, but desktop is brutal unless you happen to prefer one of the few clients they support.

Not my primary mail, but I use it as webmaster email id for some sites & I have noticed that the spam filters have improved a lot.

Switched to FastMail recently as I like to stay productive and didn't want to use Google Calendar.

This gets asked often, but as someone wanting to get away from Gmail, any thoughts on Fastmail vs. ProtonMail?

Fastmail is a great host and I liked their iOS app. ProtonMail seems like a good idea but promising secure email and secrecy as an mail provider isn’t really realistic at all.

I can't comment on the iOS client, but the Android client is what's primarily holding me back from switching to Protonmail as my default. The problem is that it keeps logging me out, for one reason or another, and to log back in I have to enter the password and TOTP code. That's a pain in the butt, and it makes it impossible for me to rely on for, say, airplane tickets.

I use Protonmail regularly on my iPhone. It works.

Not sure about whether it will be around in a decade or not.
