Anyone tried this out yet?

I received an encrypted email from mk and after following the link to proton mail received the following correspondence from him:

    steve's mom

So, needless to say, I don't find it all that compelling.

. . . well, at least it wasn't a drawing of a dick.

Yes, not extensively, but from what I have seen, I am impressed. The UI is similar to gmail, if not a bit cleaner.

I'll likely start using it more and more and see how it works out. It would be great if it could replace gmail for me.

I sent thenewgreen an important encrypted email with it.

At the moment, I don't really care for the two password thing. I am having trouble with my decryption key in that it says I am not putting in the right password, when I am sure I am. Bug reported. We'll see how that goes . . .
