I think Proton Mail is ok, but I wish they would focus more on email. I will probably just go back to gmail before the next billing. 3 years and I still dont feel the email part is good enough.

Consider switching to Fastmail rather than going back to Gmail! I switched from Gmail to Fastmail five or six years ago and have not missed anything.

Plus if you take advantage of this switch to get email at your own domain, switching providers in the future will be much easier.

I am a paying customer for ProtonMail, Fastmail, and Google Workplaces (renamed GSuite). I currently use Workplaces as my daily driver but keep evaluating the alternatives.

One thing that ProtonMail really needs is automatic detection of calendar events in emails and creation of calendar events. It is a real blocker to have to manually create calendar entries. When they release a new iOS app that supports their calendar, if they support automatic calendar entries then I will likely switch back.

The other big win with Workplaces is Cloud Search, which is also a big time saver, but I could reluctantly live without that.

> I wish they would focus more on email

I'm a fairly new user and I feel the same way. For me the product would be much better if they would put more effort in the email client itself and keep these addons in the background (development-wise).

Still, I like the fact that I'm paying for the product and that Google is not reading those emails.
