The fake progress bar isn't even 99% full, which is funny. Even funner: 4852.3 MB out of 5000 MB is only 97%

I don't know I thought it was pretty good.
The gouverment stole 505 gb

1.85/510GB.

To fill up 510gb worth of emails would take an eternity
Not for my work colleagues. For them email is something for transferring files and re requesting the files when they cant find the original email.
The storage space is shared with Proton Drive
I have a laptop with more than an unlimited SSD. It's not that expensive anymore.
Looks like one of the better attempts, TBH. I've seen some poor ones over the years.
With Proton Unlimited you have access to SimpleLogin as well.
Maybe I'm desensitized because our group address is published in multiple places on the web, but that email is not even slightly noteworthy. This November we've already gotten 7 emails that said our mailbox was full or we needed to change its password.
To me this is just background noise of the Internet.
That's why I don't use Proton, but Startmail. Their email aliases system is perfect. Haven't got any trouble so far. Is this a common problem with Proton?
I feel like this is provider agnostic. If you signup to a bunch of different newsletters (or anything else really), at some point your email will get out there.
Proton has email aliasing via SimpleLogin which I have found to be really good.
Duck email offers kinda the same idea of anonymous emails for free. If you use their extension you can generate one-off subsidiary random accounts to be deleted later after use. You can do this on the spot, a single click while filling whatever registration form, really convenient.
I got a similar phishing mail as well though not for my primary email account. Most of them just redirect to a similar looking login UI and ask the user to enter password.
