I tried protonmail not for the privacy purpose but just to have a normal web email client.
After wasting an hour before finding out you can't disable the "sent from protonmail" footer without manually deleting it in each draft you make, I said screw it and deployed my own email server with stalwart lol.
It's receive only because outgoing SMTP is a pain to make reliable these days and my ISP blocks outgoing SMTP anyway, but for everything else I now use Thunderbird.
What do you mean? It's a slider setting you can turn on or off individually for each address (if you want to keep it one one but not others). It's under identity and addresses.
IIRC free users don't have that option.
Ah, that makes sense. Always blows my mind when people complain about free tier limitations, especially from companies that don't make money from selling your data.
Yeah I wanted to complain about it, but when the service is free I don't have any right to. I will say that I upgraded to paid and still ran into a limitation. On Gmail, I use the Snooze and Schedule Send options a lot. In Gmail I have scheduled financial reminders for literally years in the future. Proton only lets you schedule 90 days into the future, that's it. I gotta wonder about the logic of that. At the very least, let me schedule messages until the end of my subscription.
Yeah I'm on free tier(evaluating proton as a whole) and I don't see this option in my mobile app. I'll have to look at the web to see if it's there...but I doubt it
*Edit, checked the web client. Found the option, but it's a mail plus feature, so I can't disable it as a free user.
I'm not sure what all the limitations are for the free tier. I'm on the Unlimited plan, if you're wondering if an option is available on the paid plans feel free to ask me and I'll check for you.
It might have changed but there is a setting for it now.
Pretty annoying that I'm just learning setting no signature did nothing since they added a second signature option for when sending from mobile and enabled it by default.
I have always hated this, the signature settings need to be unified. Why would I ever want a different signature to alert people that I am on my phome. Gmail allows ios to match their web signature but not android.
