Reminder: Proton Mail addresses have vendor lock-in (lemmy.ml)

Both auto-forwarding and auto-reply are paid features, which makes cancelling & switching much more difficult. Gmail is a breeze comparatively. I highly recommend against using their addresses (e.g. protonmail.com, proton.me, pm.me)

Email forwarding is available for everyone with a paid Proton Mail plan.

my beef with proton mail is that i can't use it on thunderbird and their android app doesn't have notifications (at least without google spy services.)

To get notifications using the Android app on a de-googled phone, you can use the app 'You Have Mail' available on F-Droid. It was developed to solve the issue you described.
