Protonmail is not Crypto AG. Swiss laws are great for that purpose and it's a nice island inside the EU. Also a few actual cases disclosed by Proton that show the workings when collaboration does indeed happen: "here's the encrypted data that we store. Good luck."

As long as you keep emailing within the Proton realm, there's not much risk of a data leak or foreign govt. intervention. Maybe a denial of service? Or why do you see this as a risk?

Personally I love that they explore more for businesses but as a full biz suite they're not quite there yet. Love their email and VPN though.

For extra email privacy you can still use proton on a separate domain or a subdomain https://bitcreed.us/bitblog/howto-protonmail-as-secure-whist...
