Okay, thanks for your opinion on this.

There is a disk check of course when a disk is not cleanly exited, but it
applies to all drives/partitions, at least on my system. There is also an
automatic check on boot when it hasn't been checked for a certain pariod
of time or number of reboots. I believe that this is a setting that can be
changed, though I've never found a need to change it from the defaults.

No, ProtonMail is a real, live cloud mail system. I would prefer that it
behaved more like a normal mail system because I do not like or trust the
cloud. And ProtonMail Bridge is a specific encryption/decryption program.
And I got it working with KMail while it was still in beta and was
definitely unsupported. Problem is that "improvements" in ProtonMail
Bridge or Kmail or both in recent years seem to have nibbled away at their
reliability. Though at the moment everything seems to have become fine,
due to no effort on my part.
