I think the point Jay was making is that the situation with Protonmail hasn’t changed since the topic you linked was created. They still have [hard limits](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setting-up-discourse-with-protonmail-account/71092/7) on their [lower plans](https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/sending-limit/), and they state explicitly that they aren’t designed to carry transactional email. GMail has a similar limitation, that’s why neither appears on [list of recommended email providers](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-email.md). > ProtonMail is currently not designed for high volume sending such as marketing blasts and transactional emails If the situation had changed then sure, it would warrant a new topic. As it stands this is just a duplicate of what was discussed three years ago. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/protonmail-bridged-smtp-in-discourse/147352)._
