Hey, you can actually do that already by adding your ProtonMail public PGP key to your mailbox. Although, keep in mind that this is a Premium feature. Here is how to add your public PGP key to SimpleLogin:
You're all set. From now on, any emails forwarded by your SimpleLogin alias to this mailbox will be encrypted with your ProtonMail public key. |

@acasajus I used the pgp encryption feature for many years. Now it has been disabled for Proton users (commit). Why? I always knew that Proton encrypts everything that arrives unencrypted to store securely, but I had it enabled to secure the forwarding from simplelogin server to one of Proton. It has to be encrypted anyway, either here or one step later at Proton. So why are we no longer able to do that at the start of the secure chain? |

Emails from SL that have as destination a proton mailbox are sent directly from SL to proton without any intermediate step. We've disabled the PGP encryption in SL in this case to minimize the cases where there can be an error or where can users can make a mistake. For instance, we've had several cases where users uploaded the wrong key and ended up with unreadable emails. |

Hello. I suggest to encrypt everything on your side and transfer to proton inbox in encrypted form
