That's one big reason why I tried ProtonMail and gave it up. Exactly zero of my regular contacts were willing to give encrypted email a try, and I have never received a request to communicate via encrypted email. I suppose there is some additional security in the way they handle your email storage, but in reality I think the most likely way to have your emails read is to fall victim to a phishing attack--be tricked into giving up your password. I don't think ProtonMail can protect you against that any more than other services.
