Most of you said you’d switch to Proton Mail for the privacy, even if it meant giving up some of the convenience of Gmail.

When I switched from Gmail to Mailbox.org, they had a migration to transfer all my existing data over.

From there, you can either set up gmail to forward emails to your new address.

Or you can use your new service to pull email from Gmail.

Either way is easy to do.

Congrats on wanting to make the switch!
