well, proton wants my 4,99 monthly fee and i have no such money. in fact probably before 2 more weeks i won't even have money to pay for my food.

i'm gonna have to open up a free email account again and point the few accounts i have left that i use to it. my proton mail mailbox has less than 2mb of inbox storage used and i get about 3 emails a day on a busy day. their vpn client is clunky and doesn't have the ability to be automatically connected at boot, and their email download tool doesn't work now for almost 2 years.

I Wonder What I Should Do?

yeah, nah. gonna open a gmail account again they can stick it.

too many red flags to make their paid service worth bothering with and i'm already used to endlessly fending off google's spam and spying.
