Look out yahoo mail, here I come.

What’s old is new again, I guess.

Indeed. I’m moving my stuff to ProtonMail as to not be tied down to Google so much. I have to untangle like 20 years of stuff.

Also not something I’m looking forward to. I wish it were feasible to run your own.

Not many have good calendar and contact list integration, especially if you’re using an android smart phone.

Yeah, it seems like Proton Calendar is getting there, so I’m feeling a bit more confident about making the switch. I rely a lot on the calendar scheduling nowadays, so it’s very important.

You’ve convinced me to check them out… it looks promising.

I wonder if I can link proton to the android contacts list somehow.

That, I don’t know. I’ve never managed my contacts much, so I never look into that. I’ll have to check it out later because you made me curious! :P

I do know they have a good support section with various questions about their service.
