Local and offline desktop mail clients in 2023 are now niche features, especially when the service we are discussing gives you a super solid webUI and mobile apps (which also work offline). The rain why Protonmail has this as a paid feature is because only a small subset of it’s users even need this as a feature, and it requires a special network bridge to make possible.
I meant that with the free tier lacking such a basic and necessary feature, you cannot really say the service is “free”.
