Ever since I quit Google I've stopped receiving junk emails, used to come about 10 a day and would end up in promotions folder, or updates, or socials, which google created. Now, I get nothing. Only newsletters, some of which are industry related so I don't mind them.

I now use @protonprivacy The downside is inability to log into separate email addresses. Everything comes into one inbox. I use filters to organize each email in its own inbox folder, but its still a little clumsy, and even clumsier when I try to use Bridge and separate the addresses in Thunderbird, because @thunderbird doesn't handle the folders well and looks very cluttered. If Proton can fix this, it will be a game changer. Privacy needs to go with along efficiency for businesses.

@protonprivacy @carturo222 @thunderbird My complaint is that Thunderbird doesn't handle proton folders well, and leads to a lot of clutter and more inconvenience since it creates duplicate folders under each email address

@protonprivacy Has the worst support. I emailed on 3rd May, since one of my domain addresses isn't receiving new mails, but up to now I have only gotten a bot reply saying they are working on it and will get back to me. Never had to wait this long for any web-based service to respond to a customer, and all the while I can't get emails and out work is suffering.

Not cool.

Might have to cancel if I can't figure out why we can't receive new emails.

@protonprivacy It is sorted now. The support of the company that hosts the domain helped me figure out a mistake in the MX records, so now I can get emails.

The ticket number was 2848488

I'm in the process of migrating from Google Workspace to Proton Mail, but I've hit a snag that might make me stick to Google. I have several email addresses for business, and yet Proton puts all emails in one inbox, which doesn't make any sense. So I'll get emails related to my writing in the same inbox as those for film, as personal emails, and as those for other work? I expected separate logins for each email.

Anyone knows how I can work around it?
