Looks like Proton Mail is now also a Gmail client

jonah: > would also be very cool if Proton users who email your Gmail account would get automatic E2EE as well if your Gmail is set up with Proton It could definitely be a good experience. I’m curious which option would be more appealing to Proton users: * automatic E2EE for Proton users through Gmail, or * the Proton client notifying a user that their Gmail recipient also uses Proton and offering to route the email directly. The second option makes it much easier for Proton users to find each other despite only knowing each other’s Gmail address. Although I’m not enthused about Proton possibly giving out email addresses on their behalf. As an aside, to think this is all possible because Proton (or others) can be Gmail clients. But the reverse can’t be (easily) done for Proton. I’m reminded by this of a recent Cory Doctorow book.
