    It sounds like you're frustrated with ProtonMail's reliance on Google Play Services, which contradicts its privacy-first philosophy. While ProtonMail is one of the most privacy-focused email providers, this dependency can be an issue for users who choose de-Googled devices like LineageOS without GApps.

    You might want to consider:

    Using ProtonMail's F-Droid Repository – Proton offers an alternative installation method via their own F-Droid repository, which provides a version that does not rely on Google Play Services.

    Using ProtonMail Web App – If the mobile app doesn't work without Google dependencies, using the web version (mail.proton.me) in a privacy-focused browser like Firefox or Bromite might be a workaround.

    Reaching Out to ProtonMail Support – If you haven't already, you could send your concerns directly to ProtonMail’s team. Apply for udyam registration - https://udyamregisteration.org/. They do take privacy concerns seriously and might consider removing dependencies on Google services in future versions.
    Would you like help crafting a more formal message to ProtonMail’s support team?
