    Another Request: IMAP/SMTP
    Please include IMAP/SMTP with a free account... without IMAP/SMTP, I cannot effectively test or use protonmail (PM) as my regular email provider...

    I know you include IMAP/SMTP in paid accounts to encourage users to upgrade to a paid account. However, your approach has the opposite effect -- it discourages users from using PM at all... perhaps, this is you goal -- you do not want free users...

    Hint: PM's Enlightened self-interest: Paid users come out of free account users, but they have to be using the free account enough to integrate PM into their daily routines and practices... PM has created a barrier to such integrated use of a free account -- which may be your desire: to encourage no use of a free account. Think again: include IMAP/SMTP with a free account.
