Proton is in the process of removing their PC bridge in favor of a custom app. After they’re done you won’t be able to migrate your email away from their service anymore.
Which is ironic, when people are trying to flee from Google. Out of the fire and into the frying pan…
It’s in restricted beta currently, only available to a small category of users, and still lacking features. They say it will launch early 2024 but it looks more like mid-year to me (at best).
Point is, it won’t happen very soon, but it will happen

That’s a bold claim. Got a source for this move?
They’ve announced they’re trialing the custom app currently, after which they’ll discontinue the IMAP/SMTP bridge.
I’ve just skimmed through the proton blog briefly and I couldn’t see anything referencing this. Do you have a link by chance?

Thanks,
So they haven’t made an announcement about retiring the proton bridge app yet.
I think I’ll wait until I see them actually remove it before I believe they’re locking us in.
