My intention is to bring to light my experience with protonMail in the past few days and offer my candid feedback.
In truth I am a little let down with the features offered for basic proton email accounts. While organizing emails, I have quickly reached the limit of 3 folders. This alone has discouraged me from continuing use of ProtonMail services. This seems like an overly aggressive strategy, one which gives the impression of being 'herded towards a paid account'. I understand how server storage space is justifiable as a cost, but surely creating a bunch folders would not impact the storage space limit in any significant way. Another reason for concern, and a deciding factor, for many I am sure, is the inability to use the proton bridge with basic accounts. The ability to amalgamate and synchronize various email accounts into a single email client is a critical feature. Hence the basic 'free' account has rendered itself inadequate for regular use. I would also like to share my opinion regarding the pricing options. In a global perspective, for some countries, the pricing/charges equate(s) to a substantial amount. I feel this could be improved with more flexibility to cater to a broader audience of various needs and usage.
I admire the efforts made by protonMail and look forward to its growth and success.
In appreciation of your services and efforts,
Sincerely,
Sameer Ali
