Unfortubately I am locked in to protonmail :/ otherwise I'd love to use it, looks great

There is apparently a way to set up a bridge that will allow you to access it, but that sounds like an awful lot of work. It also requires connecting to a PC running the software, and I would imagine it affects the security of the messaging (which may be the reason to choose proton mail in the first place).

I'm in the same boat - with them for the encrypted email, but it does hold me back from using third party apps on mobile. Hopefully they get an easier way to use third party apps on mobile. Will probably just end up being a mobile bridge app or something

They have an app though, do you not like it?

[–] finestnothing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's pretty but feature-deficient and not very pleasant to use compared to third party email apps imo

This remains my #1 complaint every time they send me a "how are we doing" survey

I check, then reply:

Your email app still doesn't support basic functionality like creating and editing filters, something I had to code for a phone app back in high school

Like, holy shit, the feature exists on desktop why the fuck can't I have it in the app rreeeeeeeeeeeeeee
