Obviously, rolling out end-to-end encryption in a federated system is difficult. We need to start somewhere, but obviously the outcome for OP was not ideal. That being said, we haven't actually had that many complaints about rolling this out. We'll still work to improve it further, obviously, and reduce failure cases like this. And, we'll take the feedback on board about moving more carefully and communicating such changes better. > most people won't care enough about privacy to change their email address Note that with this change, you don't need to change providers to get end-to-end encrypted email: you can let your email client or a browser plugin (like FlowCrypt or Mailvelope) handle OpenPGP for you, and (let it) upload your key to keys.openpgp.org, and we'll send you encrypted email. Obviously, signing up for Proton is still easier, but email is a federated system, and so I think it's important to invest in the feasibility of federated E2EE as well :)
