Add IMAP / SMTP functions even for free accounts.
Aggiungere funzioni IMAP / SMTP anche per account gratuiti.
L’account di base gratuito è un ottimo servizio pubblico.
Vorrei chiedervi cortesemente se è possibile aggiungere la funzione IMAP / SMTP per una gestione più agevole.
To Add IMAP / SMTP functions even for free accounts.
The free basic account is a great public service.
I would like to ask you politely if it is possible to add the IMAP / SMTP function for easier management.

Adding my +3 to this. SMTP is a feature as basic and as old as email itself, literally every other email provider on the internet enables IMAP/SMTP for free users. It is really weird to me that this is one of the features Proton chooses to paywall, and to bundle it with a plethora of other costly features I personally don't need. It's like applying for a gym membership to use the treadmill twice a week, but to do so you need to also need to sign up for a personal trainer, a meal plan with home delivery, a gym-branded smartwatch to monitor BPM, and so on. Just let me use the **** treadmill!

I agree with @Egomet, a IMAP or SMTP function would simplify E-Mail management very much. I find it quite impractical to have to open my browser and call up proton.me and login every time I want to check my mail on my desktop. Another idea would be to create a ProtonMail app for desktop.
