I'm in the process of migrating from Google Workspace to Proton Mail, but I've hit a snag that might make me stick to Google. I have several email addresses for business, and yet Proton puts all emails in one inbox, which doesn't make any sense. So I'll get emails related to my writing in the same inbox as those for film, as personal emails, and as those for other work? I expected separate logins for each email.

Anyone knows how I can work around it?

@dilmandila you could make a folder for each one, then use a filter with the condition "If the recipient is exactly" for each of the addresses to move them into the right folder?

@april This could work, but its not very efficient, and I was hoping for each email to have a separate login so that different staff could monitor different emails, it being a business.

@dilmandila in that case, what you'd want is Proton Business: https://proton.me/business/plans

@april It's what I signed up for...

@dilmandila oh, then, for what you want, you should be making separate users for each separate login/inbox that you want, and not adding them all as addresses to one user

@dilmandila I don’t know Proton mail, but can you set rules to filter them into sub folders in the Inbox?

@dave I've heard its possible, and the work around, but it's not efficient. And I presume it's easy to miss emails....

@dilmandila I can imagine so yup - could the split addresses mode be what you need?

@dave Looks like it, though I have staff who monitor some of the email addresses and was hoping each would have a separate login and not be able to access other emails.

Let me look more into this split addresses, and also explore using Thunderbird, but it looks like you will still need one login account.

Also, if you’re looking for a Google alternative and Proton doesn’t work out for you, I can recommend Fastmail as being pretty no-nonsense and decent (I have a solo account there). You may find their team plan lets you do more of what you’re after
