    I pay for the same but may go down to their free tier. After a purge of email and emails with larger attachments I'm down to less than 500mb. The only thing I dislike on the free tier is their automated signature to advertise proton. I hardly ever send emails though so not too much of an issue.

    I do pay for SimpleLogin and will continue to do so. The only place my actual proton email address is exposed is on SimpleLogin. Every site I use on the internet has its own alias. That's 350+ sites currently.

    The only downside to a catchall, as I see it, is someone could just start creating any random email address knowing it will find your legitimate mailbox. Also sending as any of the aliases can be a pain.

    Compared to simplelogin (or proton pass aliases, addy, firefox relay, etc), one other downside of a catchall is in associations across accounts. Registering with a @passmail.net address implies that I use Proton; registering with random-string@mydomain.org implies I have access to that domain. If 10 data breach leaks have exactly one account matching the latter pattern then that's a strong sign the domain isn't shared. If one breached site has my mailing address, my real identity can be tied to all the others.

    honestly half the reason I pay is mainly just to support proton. But I do also like having the ability for the more than 1 Email

    More than one email?

    I don't disagree but paying £40 a year to remove a signature seems excessive. I'd actually like to go for Unlimited but can't justify the cost.

    So I don't pay for unlimited I pay for just the email subscription that does include the calendar (which I probably will start using I'm just very ingrained in Google calendar right now and don't feel like going through the hassle of changing it)

    But as part of it I can have more than 1 email attached to the same account. So I have 1 for most things and 1 for the really important like bills and stuff
