I actually set simplelogin as recovery lol
So they will ask proton again for the address where everything is being forwarded... Not a good plan.
It would be fun to daisy chain a bazillion emails, all forwarding to each other in circles and have the cops just call yahoo 20 times.
But all emails are encrypted so they can't be read anyways.
No, only the ones on Proton. If you send or receive an email from outside, it's unencrypted there.
But still, it's little to no difference for law enforcement. They will get the real address and whichever little info Proton or the other provider has on you.
As far as I know, Simplelogin doesn't store anything.

Nowhere they say to m that they can't see what your final email address and they have your logging email too.
If you have a specific quote saying the opposite, please share
