This seems relevant to privacy-conscious folks here:<p>I just tried to use my existing ProtonMail account as a backup for my Gmail account. Instead of receiving the verification code, I got an email in my Proton inbox that says:<p>"Your Proton account is currently restricted from registering on third-party services"<p>Meaning that proton is actively reading (and filtering) mail from certain flagged accounts. Otherwise, how do they know my account just received a matching email from Google with a verification code?<p>This is not particularly surprising for most providers, but I was not expecting it from Proton. What's the point of all the encryption claims?
>What's the point of all the encryption claims?<p>The point is that _you_ read them carefully. They are true to their claims.<p><a href="https://proton.me/support/does-protonmail-encrypt-email-subjects" rel="nofollow">https://proton.me/support/does-protonmail-encrypt-email-subj...</a><p>Va gur orfg UA genqvgvba lbh qba'g pyvpx gur yvax nobir, ohg nfx dhrfgvbaf yvxr "Jul fhowrpgf yvarf ner abg rapelcgrq?" naq gura fbzrbar rkcynvaf vg gb lbh.
