Since Andy Yen's unfortunate comments, have any of you left Proton? And if so, what alternative did you choose?

How did the transition go? Do you like the new service(s) so far?

No. Because changing email providers is a royal pain in the ass. Changed from Google to Ctemplar and from that to proton a year later after ctemplar went down.
I am not going to use smaller email providers because of that experience, and proton still seems to be the best of both worlds.
I absolutely hate that i am supporting a CEO like that with my money but I'm not in the mood to migrate anytime soon. Took me more than a whole weekend last time.It's worth noting Proton's email export tool (marketed as backup & restore) is pretty decent. This Python script can sort them by folders & labels too
That's good to know. My main gripe is that changing the email address for every service is so tiring. I've got >200 accounts in my password manager I'd need to change the mail address in, and from previous experience i know that the complicity of this can range from "just go to the settings" over "message the moderators" to "you just can't".
It's shocking how complicated it can be.I hear ya. That's why everyone says to use your own domain. Then when you change providers it's just an update to your domain instead of all your accounts
