Yeah, I don't trust proton mail.

First off, email is inherently insecure, trying to secure it is largely a waste of time.

Secondly, proton has complied with subpoenas in the past, revealing user messages to authorities/governments.

Finally, it's just too centralized, with a single point of failure, why would you trust it?
