But it is exposed at the time that you created the account name.
I never considered the email address it self to be unknown to Proton.
Like every time you sign in you submit your user name. Proton needs to know the address to know which emails are for you. Proton knows your username.
Nothing in a letter with cash connects the username with anything else about you. Proton isn’t getting any connection they don’t already know.
