Do you think Proton Unlimited worth the price? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've thinking about purchasing Proton Mail Plus only and just only to have IMAP support, but I've looked all the features that the Proton Unlimited Plan have, and honestly I believe it's worth, but I hate having all the eggs in the same basket.

The features I believe worth the most are the 500GB storage, IMAP support, all the VPN servers with P2P and unlimited SimpleLogin aliases, but when I ask if it is worth the price I mean, the majority of those features I can have them having individually with others services and even at lower price.

I had protonmail for a few years. Guess how many e2e encrypted emails I sent.

You can also get encryption in Fastmail by using something like Mailvelope.

At least proton doesn't have access to the emails. Also, I actually have used it. This one time this dr asked me to send medical stuff to their yahoo mail. I was like hell no let me send you the password to my encrypted email.

Oh, that isn't the encryption feature I was thinking of. You're talking about a password protected email, not E2EE, though that may technically be E2EE.

That's super shitty of your doc by the way, but you already know that.

I have used the password protected email feature before, once, in the few years I used Proton.

I've also sent password protected .zip files with 7-zip.

It just doesn't come up that often and there are other ways around it. And for E2EE, I have Mailvelope.
