Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton's trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.

Unfortunately, they lock you in. If they decide the AfD is their best friend, you can't get the emails out of their system because they don't have an email export function...

Email export is available in their desktop client

That explains why I never saw it 😐 I don't understand why they would only add it in the web client. It's just their website running in electron.

what's this "email export" function doing here then?

Come on, do you really think going to a mail provider located in a country with an intelligence agreement with the US, and with a prominent far-right political party that got the most votes in the recent election could possibly be a bad idea?

I'm forward thinking like that 😉
