I was really hoping this would come with an announcement of an F-Droid compatible client.

Honestly, I'm paying them and the lack of a Google-less client is really getting to me. Now that the US is openly behaving like an adversary to the EU (as opposed to pretending to be a friend), cutting the cord to the US is becoming more and more important.

If they don't release an F-Droid compatible client this year, I'm cancelling my subscription and moving to a simple SMTP+IMAP provider. Their reluctance to degoogle has rubbed me the wrong way for years now.

P.S And the fact that they stay on threads @protonprivacy@threads.net instead of mastodon is also another reason I want to leave.

I've been happy to see proton begin trending in what I see as the right direction (for me as a consumer). Between this uplift and finally talking drive for Linux it's been a happy couple of weeks.

I don't know what was going on behind the scenes but as a user of their mail app it felt barebones. So to see them working on a full rewrite for years instead of moving forward is kinda surprising. Like bro its a mail app features are more important than speed or memory safety.
