Moving to Proton Mail

1 Jan 2025

After almost 20 years, I decided to stop self-hosting my emails and I moved to Proton Mail.

I did the switch 2 days ago and it went very smooth. To import my emails, I just used their import mechanism over IMAP.

Why the switch?

Although my server was technically configured optimally, I started experiencing deliverability issues. The subtle thing is that you unconsciously start to not rely on emails and use them less.

And I wanted to use emails more, as in the past.

Future stuff

I plan to self-host at home an instance of dovecot to have a copy of my whole email archive. I have to figure out if hydroxide, an open-source ProtonMail bridge, can be used for this use case.
