::To be clear: the difference isn't in settings somewhere, it's whether or not Proton has a need to log your IP.

==Should some of this be moved to the "Proton" page.==

I feel like some of the stuff on this page isn't specific to proton mail, and effects all of proton's services [[User:Andrew V|Andrew V]] ([[User talk:Andrew V|talk]]) 01:48, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

==Article should be merged with [[Proton]]==

[[Proton Mail]] is a stub as-is while [[Proton]] is incomplete, and the service is one of many of Proton's offerings. I think the content here should be included as a subheading of [[Proton]] which would kill two birds with one stone. Another benefit is that if there are any other product-specific incidents with Proton's offerings in the future, there won't be any need to create a new stub article, it can simply all be included in one place under [[Proton]].
