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?

    Yes I get that, what I mean is, my data would still be safe that way? Even if I’m downloading the apps through google account and play store? And how so?
