Yeah right, so much better to have your e-mails stored in clear text. With E2EE, I don’t give any fucks about local laws. My data stays my data.

    Doesn't proton's e2ee only work if you're emailing with another proton user?

    Protons' copy is always encrypted. E2EE doesn't apply when the recipient is on an external mail server (unless you explicitly encrypt it with their public PGP key).

    This still provides the major benefit of encrypting your email archive, and protection from data breach.

    I'm not well versed in encryption, can't they just decrypt them at will? When I use their webmail I just login, I don't provide any decryption pass

    That’s not entirely accurate. All metadata is encrypted, too, with the only exception of your IP. But there are ways to hide that, too, if necessary. So you only see the IP, date-time and how much data is transferred. But you will never see what was transferred or what is stored.
