I assumed an email service was supposed to be stable first, given how important it is. I was going to use proton mail as my contact email with my domain registrar.
This outage may change my mind.
REFUND?
Anyway, point is, Proton is generally very reliable, but shit happens.
I've found this to be true too, that's why I've moved most of my personal email to my own email servers, so at least I can decide when those outages happen, as they tend to mostly happen when you do some changes, not just randomly by themselves. At once you've setup monitoring and recovery for the usual suspects (disks, network, etc).
Fun times when you need magic link logins.
I ended it after they only sent half my email to my accountant because they would apparently send the server saved draft version, which was not made current when I clicked send.
No complaints so far.
Proton seems really limited for what you get, and the webmail is absolutely abysmal in performance and design.
Plz someone tell me that didn't contribute to this outage! Didn't intend to cause trouble for anyone.
