tommyDoes using proton make a difference if im forwarding from gmail?
dbx12Not exactly. Maybe you benefit from an additional virus scan (if Proton does this). What you certainly benefit from is the “only load external resources when told to” feature. This prevents tracking since loading the external resource == the mail was opened.
What exactly do you want to achieve in terms of security?

I want to have encrypted and private email so I thought about using proton but it turns out that forwarding emails is not making (pretty much) any difference. However, switching to proton is timeconsuming and will take a lot of effort (changing mail on every site im using). Eventually i will do that, sometime in the future.
NimbusGet your own domain and use that with Proton so you can take your email address to whatever email provider you want, or host your own. In the future, switching won't be nearly as hard since you'll just need to redirect the domain to the new email provider instead of changing your email address with everyone, again.

I did that, I don’t have the time to change all my emails from my 15 years old Gmail account to proton.
So I’m just forwarding my emails from Gmail to Proton and started transitioning slowly. It’s not perfect but better than staying on Gmail.
