    Personally, I feel like their service, except for VPN, was always half assed.

    • No access to SMTP for automation
    • Need to use that shitty bridge to use a useful client
    • No pgp encryption in their web interface when talking to people not at proton
    • proton drive does not offer any useful protocol like ftp, webdav, or sftp
    • Calendar and Contacts cannot be easily synchronized to phone and desktop apps

    The list goes on. I have only one account left with a proton email and the letter with a code so I can change that lies on my desk.

      They definitely allow you to use pgp with people not at proton via the web ui.

      Good point. I actually quit proton a few years ago because of the lack of SMTP and caldav.
