Protonmail has been a huge disappointment personally. It took days of trying to get my email in over the IMAP bridge, and now it still has weird spazzes where it will suddenly decide to redownload all my 30k emails, effectively making all inbound mail wait for over a day while my laptop fans fire at full speed. On top of that, the mobile app is atrocious. It crashes at a drop of a hat, doesn't autosave drafts, and doesn't even do threading. It also makes terrible use of space, and has a permanent upsell ad in the sidebar, pushing my folders offscreen. Someone actually approved this design... I guess for those weirdos who can live with a webmail client it's servicable, but it's an embarrassment that they've been at it this long, and this is the state of their offering.

>Protonmail has been a huge disappointment personally. It took days of trying to get my email in over the IMAP bridge, and now it still has weird spazzes where it will suddenly decide to redownload all my 30k emails I've never had this problem, but since you mention the IMAP bridge it's worth noting that a) the linux version of the bridge is still an on-request beta rather than a freely available download despite working flawlessly for me for the last year and a half and b) you can only use the IMAP bridge with subscribed accounts. So if you're using a free account you can't use it at all, but if you have a mix of paid and free accounts only the paid accounts can use the bridge. I find the bridge pretty nice in and of itself, but the way it's managed and monetized is a bit of a trainwreck.
