jonwI recently had a spam attack against one of my email addresses. Enough got through that I noticed it and made a filter, but by the time I did that Proton Mail had already identified them and started filtering to spam. That was amazing but not my point.
My point is that I learned that particular email address is so old that it almost only gets spam anyhow. I never would have noticed that, so thanks spammers!

When they first came to market it was email and VPN only and it stayed that way for a long time. I recently went back to check them out and now there’s a full set of tools like calendar and password manager and crypto wallet and drive and probably more.
I only use a few of those tools but it’s obvious they really sped up releasing stuff.
Their stuff is a little quirky because they have a security first attitude and it’s hard to perfectly mesh convenience and security, but they get it as close as anyone I’ve seen!
