How secure would it be to use PM if the following conditions were met?

- you only used one of the open-source native PM apps

- you only emailed other PM users

- someone you trust audited the PM source code for the native apps

- you installed from F-Droid

I'm happy to see ProtonMail getting exposure. I moved over from gmail about a year ago, and have been quite pleased with their service.

Only downside I've seen is that there isn't a clear way to increase available data storage, independent of other billable line items (like number of users etc).

Other items on my wish list would be more customizable email filtering, I'd love to be able to create filters such as 'is this from [internet provider] and does it contain the word bill? -> inbox, else spam'

I wonder if it's possible to migrate my Gmail-powered email address while keeping my family's inboxes there. I'm interested in joining Protonmail but I can't afford to pay for everyone, nor will they understand my wish to move away from Google.

I guess it can't be done as it's at the domain level, am I right?

ProtonMail seems to be on a roll this month. They both released Bridge for Linux [1] and open sourced Bridge [2]. [1] https://protonmail.com/blog/proton-bridge-linux-launch/ [2] https://protonmail.com/blog/bridge-open-source/

Interesting. I run rainloop on my (local) server so I can have mail in my browser (while on my lan). I'll have to see if I can get bridge for linux working with that. Server is headless, so hopefully bridge is too...

The “visionary” plan which should be enough for a family is only like €20/month
