    Proton doesn’t provide IMAP/SMTP access for free accounts, so you won’t be able to encrypt emails locally

    Umm, you absolutely can. Use gpg, encrypt the txt, copy the encrypted text into the email. EZPZ.

      …yes, that’s what I said. But sign them locally. Do not put your private key on Protons service. Sign and distribute pub keys locally.

      Probably should have clarified.

      Also, paid IMAP/SMTP makes Proton a freemium service. Thought I should just underline that.
