  • Do you use anything other than gmail?

    I set my Gmail to forward to Proton when I switched, and gradually replaced the address in all my accounts and told friends and family to no longer use it. It took about a year but now everything goes to my custom domain. You don’t need Proton to do any of that, though. If you want to still reply from your Gmail and don’t care about encryption, Fastmail may be a better fit (although IMO it’s less of a good value compared to all the extras you get with Proton Unlimited)

    Either way, I really can’t recommend a custom domain enough. I actually used Fastmail for a year before switching to Proton and it was completely painless thanks to the domain.


  • You can receive but can’t reply from those addresses in Proton because of the way encryption works. Don’t use Proton if you want to keep sending from any other email address.

    Edit: frankly, I wouldn’t bother switching unless you plan on using a custom domain for all your email needs. I’m a firm believer in using your own domain, because that way you can switch providers without needing to change your email address — you always own it, because you own the domain.
