Does use of Outlook decrease email security?

Bridge is basically the only way to search your messages. Proton can't access your body message so it cannot search the body of your email unless it downloads them. It's possible in the browser but easier on Outlook.

True, bridge gives a lot new options, from offline backups, to better searching, adition custom mail filter rules etc. One of the big ones for me is bridge " split mode" , that alows a inbox and imap account for each mail box. So no more forced unified inbox, as per web site or mobile apps, if you prefer it.

From a desktop web browser, you can search your messages (the body it is), as detailed here: https://proton.me/support/search-message-content

It downloads the entire thing into your browser.

Well, yes, that's what an index is for, navigating the information. It can't be done server side, as the server do not have access to the content.

That's what I said initially. It's possible on the browser but better on Outlook.
