    If thex subscribed because of the interface (ehich is certainly plausible), what would they need IMAP support for? Also, if you really want IMAP, xou can have it, you just need their (open source) Proton Bridge for it (thats a sofrware) so that ut retains all features. But then I would need my own email client.

      On mobile you’re forced to use their “open source” app that is only available on the closed source app stores and not on fdroid because it uses Google push services

        Not true, it’s been available on Fdroid for quite some time now. And it doesn’t need play services for the notifications to work either.

          It’s available on an unofficial repository that can be optionally added to fdroid, it’s not available on fdroid

            Even so, your statement that it is only available on closed-source app stores is wrong. And it doesn’t even matter that it’s not provided by “My First F-Droid Repo Demo” (yes, that’d the name of the official repo). Many open source apps are on IzzyOnDroid, including Jerboa, what do you use to write on Lemmy?

            Either way, your original comment is completely wrong and it doesnt help that it’s “only” available in the most popular extra repo.
