Proton Email

How to generate a 16 digit password for Proton. I was told it would emailed to me. 10 days late ZERO!!!

@Grimbo249  Proton is a seperate email account to that used by Sky, which is Sky/Yahoo.

Not sure what this has to do with Sky/Yahoo email accounts?

I want to use Proton, I want to import my email address's. To Outlook it's easy, but Proton you need to generate a 16 digit password. With out look fed up of known email going into spam. No matter how many times you authorise it.

@Grimbo249 it's no longer possible to create an app password for Sky Yahoo Mail, I'm afraid. Sky have withdrawn that service.

Even when it was possible to generate a 16 digit password it was then always displayed on screen and never emailed to you so if someone told you that you could do this then they are completely wrong.

I wanted all my emails in one place. I can do it with Outlook but not Sky. I have to keep signing out to then sign in with a different email. Frustrated

To be honest, if you choose to use Proton email, any queries to be able to use/import 3rd party emails should be directed to them.

They have tried to help. It seems no work  around.

I've never found that a problem with Outlook.

If your reason for using Proton is get all your emails in one place, perhaps try Thunderbird.

That has a unified inbox, and can apparently bring in your Proton mail by using the Proton Mail Bridge (for paid plans) or SMTP tokens. (So Gemini tells me.)
