In fact, I applied for an Engineering Director role there not too long ago and they rejected me, so they must have extremely high standards!

What made you pick proton over something like mailbox.org? You'd get calendar and contacts sync, IMAP and POP access, custom domains, really nice webmail, and so on.. Proton seems really limited for what you get, and the webmail is absolutely abysmal in performance and design.

I see, I don't use email for anything private because even if my mail server stores it encrypted, it passes through potentially multiple other servers on the way which have unknown privacy. It's just for notifications and newsletters mostly.
I hate to use emails for private matters too, but can’t avoid it unfortunately

I've used Proton for a couple of years and have never had problems before today, so I think their engineering is of a high standard. In fact, I applied for an Engineering Director role there not too long ago and they rejected me, so they must have extremely high standards!
