Proton send me this offer with a timer of 2,3 days.
I'd gladly take the offer if there wasn't the potential for me to accidentally show Google my proton mail.. Is there a way for a newbie like me?
You can set up the auto forward to an alias, so Gmail wouldn't even see your original address.
im a bit too dumb, may I ask how to do this exactly?
email is like network backend stuff to me, bot equally confusing. Ive never felt like Ive figured them out really
EDIT: oh and is this the same as Stillwater@sh.itjust.works suggested in a comment under this one?
I was more thinking of the Proton Pass alias feature, but now I'm not sure if that's free https://proton.me/support/pass-email-alias
thanks for showing. I got one to work and successfully linked it through gmail BUT proton still gives me this popup when I click on the forward task in the check list :(
like this
any way to make it understand that I already successfully confirmed the auto-forward..?
Don't setup an auto forward? Use it as a chance for a clean slate.
Hold on, I am in the process of moving to proton j and then discontinuing my gmail. But I am clearing out last 15 years of gmail crap before I run the wizard from proton to grab all my gmail mails....I guess there is no other way when you want to close down a gmail account eventually?
I want to move away, but 1GB? Right now I'm paying $2/mo to get 100GB.
idk I dont get so many big sized mails, and if so I mostly just download these attachments
You can pay for more space on Proton as well, though it's a little more than $2 a month
