Most of you said you’d switch to Proton Mail for the privacy, even if it meant giving up some of the convenience of Gmail.

I just created an account with mailbox.org - now I just need to spend the next months transferring all relevant emails.

spend the next months transferring all relevant emails.

Why don't you just keep them on your machine? No need to clutter online storage with old mails.

Oh wait, you probably don't use email client software.

I think you've misunderstood, and my writing was bad. I meant transferring all my accounts to the new email domain, not move all emails (I have already downloaded them) 🙂

You must have a lot of email accounts.

My password manager has more than 600 accounts stored... Though, I'll only transfer the ones I still use lol
