Tips and notes:

• Make sure you have a ProtonMail account set up and verified before attempting to add it to Apple Mail.
• If you encounter any issues during the setup process, you can try restarting Apple Mail or checking the ProtonMail support pages for troubleshooting tips.
• ProtonMail uses end-to-end encryption, which means that only you and the intended recipient can read the contents of your emails. This may affect the functionality of some email features, such as email attachments or formatting.

By following these steps, you should be able to add your ProtonMail account to Apple Mail and start using it as your primary email client.
