This way, you can make a more gradual transition to a new email address.<\/p>\n<p>The company offers several reasons as to why you may want to switch, even going as far as to call Google\u2019s app \u201cadware.\u201d Proton claims that Google uses Gmail to gather an \u201cimmense amount\u201d of data to build a profile about you, allowing it to serve you more relevant ads. It goes on to claim that Proton Mail \u201cstrips trackers, ads and spam from your emails\u201d to give you more privacy. The company also says that your emails will be end-to-end encrypted when you\u2019re messaging friends and family who also use Proton Mail.<\/p>\n<p>Proton says that this feature is gradually rolling out, so you may not see it right away. However, when it does become available for your account, you\u2019ll be able to activate it by going into the settings. You\u2019ll then need to open Import via Easy Switch and connect your Gmail account.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
