ProtonMail/VPN are great products, but after the Crypto AG fiasco I suspect it is another CIA front. We'll find out in 50 years.

Exactly what a CIA shill would say. We'll find out in 50 years.

Don't worry - I'm actually a dog in front of a keyboard :o)

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 t…

Both those things you mention as wanting exist already.

For data storage independent billing, go to Settings -> Dashboard. On Professional tier and above the data storage is a dropdown where you can increase the amount required.

For email filtering go to Settings -> Filters and create as many conditions as you want on a filter.

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/

Oh, bad timing. Just a few months ago I was on the fence about Protonmail vs Fastmail (vs all others) and ended jumping to Fastmail: the privacy pro didn't seem to outweigh the cons. Now with open sourcing stuff the pros do get somewhat better... But reevaluating and switching would be troublesome.... Maybe in a few years I'll revisit it :)

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?

does everyone in your family currently have the email name they want or did they have to compromise by putting numbers at the end or use similar tricks? ...because theres probably a better chance of getting the name they want with ProtonMail.

the shorter name@pm.me email address is a nice feature to have as well

Is there a way to centralize all my emails in protonmail? Can't see an option to enter my pop3/smtp server. Or I'm blind?

ProtonMail doesn't really try to be general-purpose email client. You can either use the bridge with an email client of your choice, or you can forward your mail.

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...

Bridge is GUI by default but has command line switch for headless.
