So I thought proton mail was zero knowledge e2e encrypted and open source. But this email guide says they scan all emails. How is that?

Proton receives all incoming emails as plain text and scans it for spam. Then they claim to encrypt it.

The only e2e encryption is proton to proton, and even then if its in a web browser you're putting massive trust in them. The subject lines are unencrypted, all metadata unencrypted.
