I’ve seen a lot of people on Lemmy singing the praises of proton mail and I’ve been considering making the switch. I was hoping those of you who use it might be able to give me a sense of the difficulty (or ease) of migrating my current setup to it.

Please keep things simple if you can. I’m not a very tech savvy person and don’t understand a lot of the lingo and shorthand about this stuff.

Right now I have a single gmail inbox where I am forwarding several different accounts to it, some from gmail, others from different hosts. I really like this centralized setup, and I have it configured so I can also reply from any of these forwarded email addresses as well (it also automatically replies from whichever email the sender sent to).

Would any of this be hard or impossible to replicate in proton mail? My goal would be to slowly move away from gmail, but it will be a slow transition and I would need my current email addresses to forward to the new inbox as I do so.

Thanks for any insight.

    you can replicate that with a paid proton account by creating a new @ for every gmail forward you had but you have to ditch all those gmail accounts. You would have, like you want, a central protonMail account with it’s satellites.
