I created a proton email out of curiosity and now can’t help but wonder if it’s really worth it. How do you use it?

For me it would mean having:

  1. University email
  2. Outlook for my PC cause I don’t want PC and phone stuff to mix up
  3. Gmail (for my google account) on the phone (PlayStore, Maps, google chrome…)
  4. Proton mail

But how do you use it? Let’s say I use it on Lemmy… But I’m still using Google Chrome for Lemmy Even if I avoided Gmail by using the proton email to create my google account, I’m still using Google services bc of apps and PlayStore, how does this work?

If I don’t use personal email for much unless these google/Microsoft related stuff, does it still make sense having one and keeping it separate from anything else?

    Sounds to me you have a bit of an saturation issue than it being a service issue.

    I keep my e-mails fairly organized. ProtonMail is served as, to me, the ‘mostly everything’ e-mail. GMail is still around because I got stubborn services and people that use it and I need it incase ProtonMail fails somehow. I’ve got a MIcrosoft account that’s strictly for personal/private use like banking and insurance stuff.

    That’s fairly simple. I’ve no idea what you’re trying to do.
