I'll never understand why people insist on using web based email.

Just install your favorite desktop + mobile mail apps and you're fine.

If that can't be done with Protonmail, and you want to move your email out of the US, suggest FastMail, based in Australia.

It can be done with proton, or at least it used to be possible (Not sure, didn't check in a while) thanks to their bridge. A small local software you'd run that decrypt everything and provides a local imap server with the decrypted content

Searching email in local mailbox is a constant problem for me.

Nothing really support IMAP search.

Every mua sucks at large mbox file.

-- Edit: I am a happy fastmail user
