Why ProtonMail is more secure than Gmail

I'm optimistic about ProtonMail in the long run, but won't use it until it gets out of my browser and onto a native app on my desktop.

If UI problems bother you, and you need a calendar, you can use mailbox.org which (1) can encrypt incoming emails w/ your GPG key, (2) offers SMTP so you can use Thunderbird, (3) comes with a calendar you can use on thunderbird/your phone via network.

They're also based in Germany, which is nice.

They're based in Switzerland which is no longer a safe haven, although ProtonMail seems to still trade on the idea that it is.

Ah sorry, I didn't read closely enough, mailbox.org looks good. Cheers.
