My understanding is that that idea can't work.

Also, Proton has 'other' limitations. You can't use your local agent 
such as Tb w/ free Proton.

My 'sense of it' has been that she would like to use Tb, a free account, 
and her old .uni addy.  And that she doesn't want to purchase or 
'maintain' her own domain.

Well, that is what her .uni addy 'adversaries' want to say, but my sense 
of it is that it *HAS* been working 'indefinitely' and therefore might 
be 'assumed' to continue to work indefinitely.

That is, I'm still 'striving' for Jo-Anne to be able to do it the way 
she wants to, even tho' there are obstacles, and I'm continuing to 
/wonder/ if the obstacles can't be overcome w/ a combination of a 
working Sender: field in Tb AND a free mail provider that it will work w/.

I haven't yet heard anything wrong w/ the Outlook idea someone suggested 
but I don't know yet whether it is possible to reconfigure Tb properly.
