Most of you said you’d switch to Proton Mail for the privacy, even if it meant giving up some of the convenience of Gmail.

It also encrypts your emails automatically (both incoming and outgoing) and lets you set PGP keys for any address you want, and fetch/manually trust Proton Mail users' keys.

encrypts your emails automatically (outgoing)

How does that work for recipients I haven't shared secrets with?

BTW any decent email client has an option or plugin to do that.

The outgoing email leaving the server isn't encrypted.

The copy that's stored on your account is encrypted on device with your PGP key.
