That reply (if it is real) from FM sounds reassuring, but also makes me wonder how this is any different in scope from previous search warrant laws that exist all over the world. I believe even Protonmail says it must comply with warrants to turn over whatever information they have about you. I doubt there are any email providers who can refuse to comply with warrants to search your data. In some ways I think using an encrypted email provider might put you more in the crosshairs of law enforcement since there are probably many fewer users than the biggies, and no doubt some of them are using encryption to hide illegal activity. It's sort of like frequenting the bar where illegal drugs are often sold--you're there just for the drinks, but could get caught up in the surveillance of what else is going on.
