I created a proton email out of curiosity and now can’t help but wonder if it’s really worth it. How do you use it?

For me it would mean having:

  1. University email
  2. Outlook for my PC cause I don’t want PC and phone stuff to mix up
  3. Gmail (for my google account) on the phone (PlayStore, Maps, google chrome…)
  4. Proton mail

But how do you use it? Let’s say I use it on Lemmy… But I’m still using Google Chrome for Lemmy Even if I avoided Gmail by using the proton email to create my google account, I’m still using Google services bc of apps and PlayStore, how does this work?

If I don’t use personal email for much unless these google/Microsoft related stuff, does it still make sense having one and keeping it separate from anything else?

    This process took for me a year or so…but now I am finally there. 3 protonmail accts and nothing else.

    One for personal/family/bank/official/insurance One for everything which I need longer…e.g. Logins to webpages One for online shopping/tickets…this one I delete every 12 months and create new, because here annoying spam from vendors is piling up
