Protonmail.uservoice.com is supposedly "The Voice of the Proton Community". Well last week I was tracking a post that was rising rapidly to the top-most voted in the "general ideas" category. And this morning when I went to check if it was at the top yet, it's just gone without a trace. No sign that it was ever there.

I moved to Mailbox.org in the past few days. You can encrypt your inbox with PGP it appears, though I haven't quite got to it yet. Mailbox.org seems built by technical people, for better or worse.

For worse in a lot of ways unfortunately... No free tier to try and your account gets nuked in 30 days if you stop paying for some reason. If I'm going for mailbox, might as well go for Migadu or Purelymail.

Hmm I'm pretty sure I could make an account, and log in, with the restriction being I couldn't send email until I'd subscribed. So you should be able to test the features. I wasn't aware of the 30 days and you're nuked rule!
