How do I get started?

Hi everyone,

I currently need 2 accounts, and I might need 1 or 2 more. My domain is hosted with Strato, and the MX record already points to a different email provider.

Now I'm thinking about switching to Proton.

Mail Essentials should work.

The process for changing the MX record is well documented, but how do I get started?

Should I create a free account and then sign up for “Mail Essentials”? If I change the MX record, will the emails initially go to a catch-all account? The switchover will probably take a few hours to complete.

If I then set up the email addresses for the first “Mail Essentials” account, am I the admin for all subsequent accounts and can I create additional accounts and assign email addresses to them?

Can I also assign an email address to both accounts at the same time? Or do I need “Workspace Standard” for this project?

Also, I’d like to know if I can add email archiving as an add-on, or if it’s already included?

I contacted Proton and received a very automated response, but I had already found all that information myself. And they didn’t address the archiving issue at all.

Thank you very much!
