I used to work for them, and unless you use GPG on all your emails, they can read everything you send (or could as of 2020). As for the rest of their apps, I'm fairly certain those are encrypted at rest, though I do recall having to comply with an Aussie government investigation notice. They're also downright scornful of people who point out the issues with their privacy practices.
So overall would you suggest to not use their service and put up with the pain points of proton?
I do still use it, but if you're after privacy I'd only trust it if you use GPG. If I remember correctly, they do run a key exchange server for it, and I never saw a way to use that to read encrypted email, but be aware that you're completely in the clear if you don't. The email mask feature is most of the reason I'm still there though.
