I mean, just learn how to GPG and you can send the message encrypted between y’all.

I just opened a Proton email account, and it claims to be encrypted; however, I still suspect they hold the keys for warrants and shit so I won’t trust it that far.

    In court, many times, it has been shown that proton cannot decrypt the emails

    I mean, they don't have to. It's kind of pointless to have encrypted storage when everything that enters and exits is plaintext.

    In theory it should be possible to keep things encrypted strictly among Proton mailboxes but that's more like a private message board than email.

    Proton to proton is end to end encrypted. But yeah for future looking emails in plaintext, like any provider, they could be intercepted on the wire. It's not pointless and I bet has saved many people's asses.

    I don't like how proton requires you either use their proprietary mail app or bridge. Mailbox.org just pgp encrypts messages, which you can read through regular imap with any mail client that supports pgp decryption
