    1: Register a new Proton account

    2: Set up email forwarding from Gmail to Proton

    3: Add a filter that labels all Mail incoming to Gmail with a Gmail label.

    4: Whenever you feel like it, go to some of your Gmail labeled mail and change the registered mail to Proton etc.

    I’d still recommend buying your own domain though, it took me less than 15 mins switching completely from Skiff to Proton, and I didn’t have to reregister anything. Only when you have a costum domain you’re truly serviceprovider-independent.

      I second the custom domain part.

      It’s easy to setup and it doesn’t lock you to any single provider, in case you want to change in the future
