Ok yeah thats a far cry from Proton actually “Having your unencrypted emails on their servers” as if they’re not encrypted at rest.
See my other reply. There is no way to retrieve your mail using IMAP on a regular client if they’re encrypted on the server. And Gmail can retrieve your mails from proton using IMAP. It’s even in their own (proton’s) documentation.

We need to call for an audit on Protons policy and see if they actually do what they say, that way we can know for almost certain that everything is good as they say

I mean we know from documented events that Proton doesn’t store you emails in plain text because there have been Swiss orders to turn over information which they have to comply with and they’ve never turned in emails, because they can’t.

Do you have a source for that? I know they handed over an IP address, but I haven’t heard about them handing over an email.

As far as I know they have not handed over any emails.
