Guys my protonmail is banned from emailing for 35 hours due to "spamming". Meaning I can't reply to the emails I currently have. All because I was on a good roll with astrology and sending orders out like a ninja, and replying in a timely fashion to those who emailed me.
I will probably get a new protonmail account and confirm it here so you all know it's me, that way I have 2 for just in case situations like this.
Ffs...
Alright everyone, my new email address is lydia_astrology@protonmail.com. I will include a link to this post for verification when I send from it, but I will still check my previous one as well.
Well, that account was deactivated due to "fraudulent" activities. My brand new account, after 1 hour of it being up. I'm speechless.
Everyone, I don't know what to do right now. In case of emergency email me at lydia.astrology@gmail.com, it's the only one that works now.
I sent 8 emails this morning, replying to astrology emails, please don't reply to lydia_astrology protonmail. I"m going to have to email you all from gmail.
I'm going to just do some yoga, meditate, probably mentally yell at protonmail for them fucking up 2 of my accounts in one day. I've sent them emails.
Spam is a big problem for email. They have to be vigilant, and it doesn't help that in their mind Satanism is associated with "bad". (Although in a way it is flattering to have satanists and hackers associated, because hackers are some of the smartest people alive.) To combat spam, there are public databases of blacklisted mail servers. To keep their own server off of those lists, Proton Mail needs to reduce the amount of spam coming from them. I suspect they somehow associated your new account with your old one. They likely recognized your IP address, or some other trackable piece of information.
What you can try:
1. Clear your web browser cookies. (This option is usually under the History menu.)
2. Change your public IP address. Depending on your Internet provider, this may or may not be possible. To begin, Google "What's My IP" and write down the x.x.x.x address it gives you. For Comcast, you'll need to change the MAC address of your router. In your web browser, navigate to http://192.168.1.1 and enter the default password for your router (brand and model), then there should be a page for "MAC Address Clone". Enable the option, and increment the least significant digit by 1, then save the changes. Now unplug your router, then your modem, then plug in your router, wait for it to boot up, then plug in your modem. Google "What's My IP" again. If the address does not match the one you wrote down earlier, then you have succeeded! Your public IP address is now different. (If this doesn't work, then try Googling "Change public IP for [Your Router Model]".)
3. Create a new Proton Mail account, and DO NOT mention your old account(s) in emails you send from there. That might flag your new account as associated with your old one. You can inform people about your new address through gmail or these forums.
4. If you want multiple email accounts, use a different service for each one. (Yandex, Yahoo, AOL, etc.) You will be flagged as less "suspicious" if you only have one account at each service.
Let me know if you have any questions!
