Yeah, 100%. It's only reasonable if you want their full encrypted at rest design model. Every other service, including proton, keeps the metadata unencrypted: to,from,subject. This is done to make searching more manageable, but metadata is the prize.
Having used the tutanots app for a few years, it's grown on me.
Email is a pretty insecure protocol as it is. From what I am aware, you can only get a certain level of security/privacy when sending cross domain emails, so we cannot get the same level of privacy as we would with Matrix or Signal. It's getting the best security you can with a medium we and the world are unfortunately dependent on.
Agreed. We are talking only about the security of the email archive.
Partly off-topic: is that true even when one uses PGP? Email security and encryption is something I know very little about, unfortunately.
