I would suggest looking into other options for PW managers like bitwarden. Having email, calendar, drive, VPN, and PW manager all from one provider just means there is a single point of failure.
All Proton services are e2e encrypted, so even if they are breached, there is little data available without having to crack each user keys.
Still, the password manager is still new, and there is still a lot to iron out. So I would advise against using it as main password manager. But it is promissing.
Err how is mail E2E encrypted when mail isn't typically E2E encrypted? It has to reach a mailbox. If that mailbox isn't on your computer, then it's on Proton's.
That's why you need to install the proton mail bridge if you want to use it with apps like thunderbird. Of course, Emails not send from or too another proton account are not encrypted, but that's something proton can't change... Although you can put a password on your emails, so only people who know that password can access the mail, but that's more of a workaround than a fix.
