    Proton is end-to-end encrypted - they don’t have the keys themselves. With TLS, encryption is between you and the server, but the information can be decrypted on the server side.

    At least that’s my understanding of it. If you want Proton’s own words, they wrote an explanation on their website. :)

      I fail to see how the mails being encrypted stops them from using IMAP(s) like everyone else. IMAP doesn’t care what the contents of the email it’s sending/fetching are, and is perfectly compatible with other E2EE solutions like PGP/GPG which they say their solution is based on.
