If they enable IMAP for all accounts that’d be awesome. I’ve been reluctant to use their mail system in case it just becomes another lock-in.

Yes, not being enable to integrate with the system both Linux and Android is what is bothering me the most.

But isn’t this exactly what the Protonmail bridge is for? I don’t use Proton myself (self-hosted Mailcow) but afaik Imap doesn’t support public keys/PGP the way Proton is using it, hence one needs the bridge to use normal Imap clients like Thunderbird.

Sure, but this is only for mail, not even calendar. Also, they do not push on flatpak which limits availability.

Contacts cannot be synced on Android. Drive is nonexistent on Linux and I do not think it is a work in progress project yet. Drive cannot sync folders on Android either.

These are basic features…

@sunred @piracysails Yeah, because they can’t decrypt your email, they can’t really provide it over IMAP. https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-encryption-explained has more details.
