I agree with others on trying to not have one service for everything, which proton is trying to become. An alternative to Proton Mail and Calendar would be Tuta, though I haven't used them.
The Bitwarden desktop client was on an EOL Electron version that doesn't get security updates and marked as insecure in Nixpkgs and it took them 3 weeks to resolve it (finally got fixed an hour ago) and it's still not fixed in any released version. It seems strange to me for a security-sensitive program to have problems like this.
mailbox also.
always check the profit motive. Often if it's free, unsupported by donation/subscription nor sponsors with that system, and if it costs quite some money to uphold, then your data is the product.
I'm always pretty wary of when a company or its parent goes public, be it by IPO or trading - then ownership is no longer in people's hands but in profit's hands.
