Anybody know what the deal is for encrypted mail between mailbox.org and proton?
I'm looking to shift my proton over to mailbox. But I have lots of friends on proton, mostly b/c I recommended them to! And realistically, I am not gonna convince them all to move again. Some have onyl been on proton a few months.
I think proton-to-proton email is E2EE. I'm wondering if various others like mailbox that use pgp under the covers, cooperate to pgp between themselves too. Am I losing anything, if my friends stay on proton and I move to mailbox?
Email server to server might be TLS-ed most of the time anymore. But that's not E2E.
Proton has a page on How to use PGP with Proton Mail, including instructions for using it when emailing non-Proton accounts. If your friends follow that and you setup PGP properly in mailbox it should all work.
