I switched to Proton two years ago and I'm pretty happy.
It helped to get a custom domain before the switch. That way, I could stay on Gmail while switching all accounts to my new domain and later just transfer the domain from Gmail to Proton.
- rkachowski 4y agoThe only thing stopping me from full proton is the clunky calendar integration. The last time I checked there was no way to get calendar support on android / ios / macos like with gcal. There's a custom calendar app but it lacks the usability of an iCal integration
- k__ 4y agoYes, I still use Google calendar.
- r3trohack3r 4y agoI did the inverse. I migrated to protonmail and setup email forwarding from GMail to proton. Then, every time I received an email that was forwarded, I’d go in and update that vendor or unsubscribe. After a few months, the only thing still coming from GMail was spam and I shut off the forwarder. Basically a classic strangulation strategy used by service migrations. I did setup a private domain, but just for configuring a catch-all. Now each vendor gets their own email address. Originally did it to cut down on spam and track where it was coming from. But it turns out my personal email doesn’t get much spam. My gmail accounts get hammered with it. Seems like gmail has a unique spam problem.
