Ask HN: Are Protonmail.com Addresses Snubbed?
by tunap on Hacker News.
I’ve sent emails to ~ 30 entities since July, and the only 3 respondents were: a ‘test’ reply from a friend, one business & one .gov. I setup a PM mail for job applications & the local/name is not offensive or inappropriate. I am sending to businesses & agents with posted job openings, so, it’s not unsolicited. I expected a high number of no responses, but > 90% is much higher than I expected(before the latest layoffs trend, anyway). Is such an address likely to go straight to spam or is there a general dislike for Proton Mail I am not aware of? I understand ‘free’ emails are often abused by bad actors, but I presumed that Proton Mail would be less maligned than most. Is this an incorrect assumption?
