FWIW if you switched once then next switch is RADICALLY easier.
Well, switching from Proton was more painful for me, at least on a free account, as it won't gel with a desktop client like Thunderbird or Outlook, and last I checked, didn't allow email forwarding.
Imagine switching from based proton just cuz CEO agrees with Trump.
Imagine staying onboard with someone promoting nearly every horrible thing in our world just so you can have easier email access.
I mean, they showed agreement on one issue, which is obviously important for Proton and as a consequence beneficial for the general population (fairer competition with privacy respecting companies).
If you think Trump covers "nearly every horrible thing in our world", what do you say about the world from since you can remember until 2017 and again from 2021 till now?
