Has anyone else caught protonmail randomly deleting old emails or is it just me? Gmail always used to have what I'm looking for, but I frequently look for emails I *know* I've archived and they're nowhere to be found. Sucks because I've lost receipts I need for tax write offs.

No

protonmail search feature sucks as well

They're still there. It's just that the indexing on ProtonMail is bad.

🤔 Ok, I'll look through more closely

The search is not that great, older mails I often can’t find

I think search is limited unless you enable a deeper search feature.

Use Thunderbird to download and search your email locally. Proton can't access the contents of your email so the search is bad.

This is also good if you're worried about them deleting stuff

Wow, ok, I didn't realize that was tge reason. I'll give it a go

You can also make things easier to search by putting keywords in the subject, because that's one part that isn't encrypted: https://proton.me/support/does-protonmail-encrypt-email-subjects
