Use "Fairemail" (preferred) or "K9Mail" instead of proton mail.

How did you get protonmail working with fairemail? I just tried and got an error message saying protonmail isn't supported. Everything I've seen posted online has said protonmail doesn't work with third party email clients. Would love to get it working if its possible.

    Boffs I said instead of. Pick a better email service provider, best choice is to host your own.

      I'd say that would be the worst choice

        f13a-6c3a You would definitely have to substantiate that, because its completely off.

          You listed two email clients as a replacement for an email service provider. Not helpful.

            abcZ You would definitely have to substantiate that

            uptime, tech knowledge, security management, hardware management, mail server management, records (DNS, MX, SPF, spam, etc.) management, service cost, just to name a few - but you already knew that :)

            abcZ because its completely off

            you would definitely have to substantiate that - ohh, wait....

              Boffs Its not my fault or problem if some people pick an email client that ties them to a specific provider.

              Hosting your own email provider is quite a headache and is out of reach for non-tech persons. And even if you succeed, you won't have all you mail delivered since some providers will refuse mail coming from unknown providers or from a residential IP. But if you like tinkering with computers it is a funny challenge !
              And by the way, an email is never private, except if both parts have an encryption system (which is quite rare) : an email is like a postcard, every person that catches it can read it.

              abcZ You've failed to support your position entirely.

              I could ask:

              abcZ You would definitely have to substantiate that

              but see no point
