    I pay for the same but may go down to their free tier. After a purge of email and emails with larger attachments I’m down to less than 500mb. The only thing I dislike on the free tier is their automated signature to advertise proton. I hardly ever send emails though so not too much of an issue.

      I went with Pro for the custom domains and catch-all inbox. Now I can give out [email protected] and it will get back to me. It’s nice for easily identifying phishing, plus you can set up filters to trash emails to a particular address automatically, so if one of your addresses gets compromised you can just filter them out. Also, it’s nice to see who’s selling your info!

        I do pay for SimpleLogin and will continue to do so. The only place my actual proton email address is exposed is on SimpleLogin. Every site I use on the internet has its own alias. That’s 350+ sites currently.

        The only downside to a catchall, as I see it, is someone could just start creating any random email address knowing it will find your legitimate mailbox. Also sending as any of the aliases can be a pain.

          Compared to simplelogin (or proton pass aliases, addy, firefox relay, etc), one other downside of a catchall is in associations across accounts. Registering with a @passmail.net address implies that I use Proton; registering with random-string@mydomain.org implies I have access to that domain. If 10 data breach leaks have exactly one account matching the latter pattern then that’s a strong sign the domain isn’t shared. If one breached site has my mailing address, my real identity can be tied to all the others.

          Yeah, I have to agree that the ‘send as’ can be a pain, would be nice if it sent as the recipient email by default. As far as people spamming looking for a legit address, I’ve fortunately not run into that, but I could see how that could happen.

            Yeah. I mean, even if you did get targeted by someone they really don’t want to waste their time on someone who is more privacy/security conscious. Thieves want easy targets.

      honestly half the reason I pay is mainly just to support proton. But I do also like having the ability for the more than 1 Email

        More than one email?

        I don’t disagree but paying £40 a year to remove a signature seems excessive. I’d actually like to go for Unlimited but can’t justify the cost.

          So I don’t pay for unlimited I pay for just the email subscription that does include the calendar (which I probably will start using I’m just very ingrained in Google calendar right now and don’t feel like going through the hassle of changing it)

          But as part of it I can have more than 1 email attached to the same account. So I have 1 for most things and 1 for the really important like bills and stuff
