Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data for defendtheatlantaforest@protonmail.com — the account linked to Stop Cop City protests in Atlanta. The FBI obtained this information through a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty request on January 25, 2024, identifying the activist behind the anonymous account through their credit card identifier.

      I kinda wanted the mail client. Idk I just kind of like the work flow that way. I udnerstand a bit of why its not that way, and its not a huge del breaker. I do see some stuff has made its way onto fdroid which is nice.

        FDroid I cannot comment on. And I dont bother with desktop mail clients. So maybe our personal use cases dont match up

          I just kinda like thunderbird; tho its not that big of a deal breaker. Just at one point had quite a few emails and it was a helpful org tool. My Proton plan would be to consolidate a bit there anyway.

            Additionally - im not shilling for proton here!! Im in their ecosystem and havent had problems BUT if I was to start again, Id consider other options too.

            Nothing wrong with proton per se. But for example, Mulvads approach (ie RAM disk only storage) sounds more positive
